The $549 and $599 price points put these GPUs in intense competition with NVIDIA’s RTX 50-series. Plus, AMD committed to an AI telecom solution layer at Mobile World Congress.

AMD’s answer to Nvidia’s RTX 50-series GPUs is arriving next week — and its new graphics cards are aggressively priced against Nvidia’s $749 GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and $549 RTX 5070. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT ship on March 6th for $549 and $599, respectively, one day after the RTX 5070 arrives.
