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 officially announced its Radeon RX 9070 Series, among other products, during CES 2025, along with a Q1 2025 launch window. That's still applicable but

Apparently, AMD didn't talk about GPUs at CES because it wants to hold a separate event for those announcements.

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.

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.

For example, NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 50 series will release at the end of the month, with some stunning specs on display. AMD, NVIDIA's biggest competition in the enthusiast GPU space, so far has been quite elusive about its new products but perhaps not for long.

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.
