AMD has unveiled the AMD RDNA 4 graphics architecture with the launch of the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 graphics cards as a part of the Radeon RX 9000 Series. The new graphics cards feature 16GB of memory and improvements designed for gaming graphics, including re-vamped raytracing accelerators and AI accelerators for ultra-fast performance.

The RX 9000 Series, powered by the new AMD RDNA 4 architecture, offers creators performance and visuals. These graphics cards feature third-generation raytracing technology enabling realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections while integrating a suite of AMD features to maximize hardware utilization. The RX 9000 Series GPUs leverage new second-generation AI accelerators with up to 8x INT8 throughput per AI accelerator (for sparse matrices) to enhance creative applications and run generative AI applications (vs. RDNA 3).

The RX 9000 Series GPUs also implement the newly redesigned AMD Radiance Display Engine & Enhanced Media Engine for broad display support and elevated quality in recording and streaming.

The Radeon RX 9070 Series offers 16GB of GDDR6 memory.

Special features:

Unified AMD RDNA 4 Compute Units—Features up to 64 advanced AMD RDNA 4 compute units

High-Performance Raytracing—With 3rd-generation Raytracing Accelerators, AMD RDNA 4 is able to deliver more raytracing throughput per compute unit compared to the previous generation.

AI Acceleration—2nd-Generation AI Accelerators received several enhancements, allowing AMD RDNA 4 to process advanced AI models faster than what was possible with RDNA 3,4 through a combination of additional math pipelines for AI calculations.

AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution Technology 4 (FSR 4)—AMD’s new ML-powered upscaling technology delivers boosted frames under even demanding workloads.

AI-Enhanced AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition Application—A new suite of software and resources designed to deliver an AI user experience with AMD Radeon RX 9070 Series graphics cards.
