AMD Radeon and Ryzen general manager has clarified why the RX 9070 and 9070 XT have been pushed back to a March launch after pushback online

AMD's RDNA 4 GPU fiasco has already seen pulled presentations and mysterious delays, and a new March launch date just announced points to the company waiting to see what NVIDIA does with its RTX 5070/Ti cards.

AMD's upcoming RX 9070 series GPUs are slated to officially arrive in March with a wide assortment of cards being made available at launch.

AMD now says its RX 9070 and 9070 XT graphics cards are expected in two months, despite stores already reportedly having stock of the GPUs.

CES 2025 set up an old-fashioned graphics card battle between Nvidia and AMD, even if the latter showed up a little late. We know when the new RTX 50 series GPUs will debut (at the end of January) and we now know when AMD’s Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT cards will hit store shelves: March.

The Radeon RX 9070 Series, the first GPUs from AMD to leverage its new RDNA 4 architecture, haven't been released yet because they are too expensive relative to the competition, according to new speculation brewed by a forum post from a PCGH insider who claims that the Radeon RX 9070 and Radeon RX 9070 XT have been delayed for reasons that include "unclear marketing funds" and trouble between AMD and its retail partners.
