AMD reportedly set to hold press conference on RX 9000 series GPUs at the end of the month
2025 is a year welcomed by a number of GPU launches. We’ve already seen some great options from both Nvidia and Intel (the latter actually launched its first Battlemage card at the tail-end of 2024). Nvidia’s RTX 50 series became available to buy on January 30th, with both the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 going on sale – though they soon sold out amid very poor stock levels worldwide.
We’re still waiting for an official reveal of the RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT which will go on sale in March, according to AMD. However, it has now been suggested that the cards will be revealed – or at least discussed – in a press conference at the end of February. This has yet to be confirmed by AMD.

We could learn more about the RX 9070 & RX 9070 XT at the end of February
According to Benchlife (via Videocardz), the RTX 5070 Ti performance embargo will be lifted on February 19th, which is when we’ll get to see reviews and benchmarks for the card. However, among the news about the second wave of 50 series cards, we also noticed that Benchlife expects to see an RX 9000 series press conference “based on the RDNA 4 GPU architecture” at the end of February. That is, of course, “if nothing unexpected happens”.
It’s surprising how little we know about the RX 9070 series in any kind of official manner. All we do know for sure is that the two cards will be launching with 16GB of VRAM, run on the latest RDNA 4 architecture, and offer exclusive access to FSR 4. There is currently no official word on the pricing, though AMD’s Frank Azor has at least shut down a recent RX 9070 XT price rumor.
With Nvidia’s launch of the 50 series so far plagued by poor stock levels, and even some major GPU issues, it should be the perfect setup for AMD to try and win back some market share in the graphics department. Whether it can do so remains to be seen, but we shouldn’t have to wait much longer.
