AMD RDNA 4 GPU Revolutionizes Gaming with Bigger RX 9070, Leaving Nvidia’s RTX 5070 in the Dust

AMD’s Rumored RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 GPUs: What to Expect

Rumors surrounding AMD’s next-gen GPUs have been swirling, and it appears that the company may be launching not one, but two new graphics cards: the RX 9070 XT and RX 9070. But what do we know about these GPUs, and what can we expect from them?

The Rise of the RX 9070

Initially, it was thought that AMD’s next-gen GPUs would fall under the RX 8000 series, but rumors suggest that the company may have changed its mind. Instead, we’re seeing the rise of the RX 9070 XT, which is rumored to be the top-of-the-line RDNA 4 GPU. This is a big change, and it seems that AMD is trying to create a distinction between its mid-range and high-end GPUs.

Performance and Pricing

So, how do these GPUs perform, and what can we expect to pay for them? According to rumors, the RX 9070 XT will be slightly slower than the current 7900 XT, while the RX 9070 will offer performance similar to the 7800 XT. In terms of pricing, All The Watts has suggested that the RX 9070 XT could cost around $449 to $649, with the RX 9070 priced between $550 to $600. Additionally, there may be Navi 44 GPUs that range in price from $179 to $349, which could include the RX 9060 and other models.

Mobile and Desktop Variants

In addition to these desktop GPUs, rumors suggest that we may see mobile variants of the RX 9070 XT and RX 9070. This is no surprise, as AMD often releases mobile GPUs that offer similar performance to their desktop counterparts.

FSR 4 and RDNA 4

Another interesting rumor is that FSR 4, AMD’s upcoming upscaling technology, will debut alongside the RX 9070 XT. This could be a game-changer for AMD, as FSR 4 is expected to offer even better performance and image quality than its predecessor.

Analysis: Turning it Up to 9070?

So, why did AMD switch from the RX 8000 series to the RX 9070? One reason could be that the bigger number will make it seem like AMD’s GPUs are more powerful than Nvidia’s xx70 class graphics cards. Additionally, rumors suggest that AMD may be abandoning the RDNA brand entirely after this next generation of GPUs. Instead, we may see the rise of UDNA, a unified architecture that combines CDNA (data center) and RDNA (gaming) under one umbrella.

Performance Levels

Finally, we should note that the performance levels mentioned above for the RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 may be a bit disappointing. The previous hope was that the RDNA 4 top dog GPU could be a bit faster than the 7900 XT, but it seems that it may be slightly slower. However, we assume that this is talking about rasterization (non-ray tracing performance), and that AMD has a bigger leap in frame rates ready for us when it comes to ray-traced graphics.

What’s Next?

As we wait for more information about AMD’s next-gen GPUs, we can’t help but speculate about what’s next for the company. Will we see a switch to UDNA, or will the RX 9000 series continue to evolve? One thing is certain: AMD is gearing up for a big year, and we can’t wait to see what it has in store for us.
