- A new rumor suggests AMD that potentially working on a 32 GB RDNA 4 GPU
- If it is true it would be launched sometime in 2025
- A 32 GB Gaming GPU would probably compete with Nvidias RTX 5090
It looks like NVIDIA has taken the GPU market by storm once again with its Powerhouse RTX 5000 series GPUs, while AMD is focusing on its midrange RDNA 4 GPUs launched in March -but a new rumor suggests , that AMD is also working on a GPU that will not be a midrange card but could instead compete against Team Green’s flagship GPU.
According to Zhangzhonghao, which is reliable to AMD leaks in the past at Chiphell (reported by NoteBookcheck), AMD could work on an RDNA 4 GPU using 32 GB VRAM, intended for launch sometime in 2025. It is unclear if this will be a gaming GPU or a dedicated to WorkStation Desktop PCS, but it is, to say the least, very promising.
Nvidia’s RTX 5090 boasts 32 GB VRAM and is the best GPU you can buy (despite the current inflated prices and limited availability). While Vram is not everything and end-all, plenty of games are vulture (especially when played in high resolutions like 4K), and it suggests that this GPU will be aimed at high-end of the market rather than the more affordable GPU ‘is, we’ve come to expect from AMD.
We have already seen a glimpse of what Team Red’s Radeon RX 9070 XT has to offer with the early 4K native performance results in Call of Duty Black Ops 6, which suggests that the upcoming card will be a midrange GPU. Rumors of a 32 GB GPU are so quite exciting for players who have hoped that AMD would once again release powerful high-end GPUs to take on Nvidia …
Please tell me this is true …
RTX 5090 and RTX 5080’s prices are currently bloated to almost any retailer due to a combination of scalpers and limited availability, so you can probably forget to buy one of them at the moment (unless you are willing to throw the entire content of your wallet with them). I expect the same to happen with RTX 5070 TI ($ 749 / £ 729 / AU $ 1,509) and RTX 5070 ($ 549 / £ 529 / AU $ 1,109) will be launched later in February.
With this in mind, I knock on the AMDS RADEON RX 9000 series -launch in March to provide some necessary competition in the GPU market. If the new RDNA 4 GPUs end up being affordable opportunities while still offering a high level of performance at play, it can give Nvidia a reason to look at the shoulder for once and give gamers more opportunities.
Nvidia has dominated the GPU market for years, not only by providing GPUs with high-performance, but also with industry-leading upscaling technologies such as DLSS. We are still waiting to see FSR 4’s full disclosure (which is AMD’s DLSS Equivalent) – and while I am impressed with what I have seen from Team Green’s DLSS 4, have a few early glimpses of AMD’s FSR 4 me excited about what this this Means for image stability in play along with the chance of higher image speeds.
Better yet, if this fresh rumor about a 32 GB RDNA 4 game GPU is legitimate, it will be difficult for PC players to ignore Team Red’s efforts on this occasion. It is undeniable that many favors NVIDIA GPUs thanks to the high performance when activating radiation tracking and DLSS, but maybe things could turn to AMD’s advantage this time …
