AMD's answer to Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 is nigh, says exec: 'We are taking a little extra time to optimize the software'

AMD is set to release a new series of Radeon RX 9000 PC graphics cards this year to challenge Nvidia's RTX 50-series after skipping CES 2025.

I thought the RTX 5070 was my next GPU — this new tech has me reconsidering

The AMD Radeon RX 6800 GPU in my gaming PC is due for an upgrade, and I thought NVIDIA's RTX 5070 was the perfect match. However, one of the new RDNA 4 Radeon cards might be a better option if AMD can deliver on performance and pricing.
