This month, we at AMD celebrate two significant milestones in the Radeon story. First, the 25th anniversary of Radeon, a journey that began in 2000 with the ATI Radeon DDR card. Back then, 32 MB of VRAM, a 143 MHz clocks, and 30M transistors were cutting-edge tools that sparked your early adventures. Today, those specs are a nostalgic memory, dwarfed by the leaps we’ve made together culminating in the 24GB of memory, multi-GHz clocks, and nearly 60B transistors of RDNA 3 cards driving the immersive worlds you now explore.
But we’re not stopping there. We’re proud to continue that innovation journey with the RDNA 4 based Radeon RX 9070 XT and Radeon RX 9070, available starting today. This is more than a new chapter for us, it’s a promise to you, the gamers who fuel our passion. We know what matters when you choose your next GPU: raw performance to conquer your favorite titles, tech that’s ready for tomorrow’s blockbusters, and value that respects your investment. That’s precisely what RDNA 4 delivers.
Our goal with RDNA 4 wasn’t to chase an elite crown few can reach. Instead, we focused on you, the heart of gaming, crafting cards that bring exceptional power to the setups most of you run. Compared to our last gen, RDNA 4 boosts raster performance for crisper, smoother visuals. Ray tracing throughput doubles, letting you soak in lifelike lighting and reflections without compromise. And with an 8x uplift in machine learning performance, we’re unlocking new possibilities – like FSR 4, our latest leap in ML-based upscaling.
Integrated deeply into game engines, FSR 4 renders at 1080p and scales to 4K, delivering 3x to 4x higher frame rates with near-native quality. That means you can crank settings in your favorite games and still hit buttery-smooth FPS, all without sacrificing the details you love. We’re launching with over 30 titles with FSR 4, games you’re already playing, and we’re on track for 75+ by year-end.
We designed the RX 9070 XT (starting at $599) and RX 9070 (starting at $549) to hit the sweet spot — each with 16 GB of GDDR6, next-level ray tracing, and awesome performance-per-dollar. These aren’t just cards; they’re your ticket to owning battlegrounds, from competitive esports to cinematic RPGs, without breaking the bank.
Reflecting on 25 years, we’re humbled by how far gaming has come—and how you’ve shaped it. RDNA 4 is our way of saying thank you: a GPU lineup that powers your victories, secures your future playtime, and fits your budget. Our engineers have poured their expertise into this moment, and we’re thrilled to see it in your hands. Here’s to the next 25 years of Radeon—and to every clutch moment, epic raid, and immersive story we’ll share along the way.
