CES 2025 has come and gone without any official confirmation of the possible AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT flagship graphics card, although there is some confirmation of RDNA 4 graphics cards.
Although AMD didn’t have time to properly elaborate on RDNA 4 during its 45-minute CES 2025 keynote, according to Frank Azor (AMD’s head of consumer and gaming marketing), we now know the technology is coming.
This is especially true of the RX 9070 XT, which will most likely compete with Nvidia’s RTX 5070. It will be interesting to see what this card has to offer in terms of performance and official pricing. But for now, we’ll keep an eye on the latest news and rumors and bring them all together in one place to keep you updated on the latest developments.

AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT: Release Date Rumors
While there is no concrete news on a release date for the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT, there are rumors of a general RDNA 4 pre-order date set for January 23rd.
The dates reportedly came from B&H Photo posting early ads for some Asus RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT graphics cards (TUF and Prime models). Fortunately, the listings were screenshotted by longtime hardware leaker @momomo_us before they were removed.
AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT: Specifications
There have been no clear leaks, rumors or reports about the performance of the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT or the performance of the RDNA 4 in general. However, we can assume that the card won’t be a 4K powerhouse thanks to its price range.
The previous hope was that the flagship RDNA 4 GPU would be slightly faster than the 7900 XT. However, it seems to be a bit slower according to All The Watts (take that with a grain of salt though).
While that sounds pretty risky in light of Nvidia’s own high-end 5000 series cards, it doesn’t make sense to target that market from a business standpoint, as the vast majority of gamers play at 1080p resolution, with some gaming at 1440p. Instead, AMD could reach an overall much larger target group by reducing the performance and thus the price.
AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT: What to expect
Right now, there is not much concrete news about the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics card and about RDNA 4 as a whole, due to AMD not having time to elaborate on it during its CES 2025 conference.
While there are plenty of rumors and a few scant official details, including a possible pre-order date — the latter thanks to an interview and dealer leaks — we don’t have a clear picture of what this card will look like right now in terms of exact pricing, specs, and performance.
Hopefully AMD will give us the low throttling on the RX 9070 XT and all other RDNA 4 powered graphics cards in the future.
