AMD to Launch Radeon RX 9070 Series and FSR 4 Alongside Ryzen 9 9000X3D Processors in January
AMD's client computing division is expected to have an action-packed 2025 International CES. On the CPU front, the company is expected to expand its Ryzen 9000X3D family with high-core count models, such as the Ryzen 9 9950X3D and Ryzen 9 9900X3D. It is also expected to introduce certain power-efficient 65 W models of its non-X3D Ryzen 9000 series "Zen 5" chips, which serve as value options within this processor generation, to try and lure buyers off the 65 W Intel Core Ultra "Arrow Lake-S" models. On the gaming graphics side, the company is expected to debut its Radeon RX 9000 series, led by the RX 9070 XT and RX 9070, both of which are based on the "Navi 48" silicon, and powered by the RDNA 4 graphics architecture.
That's not all, AMD is also expected to announce the new FSR 4 technology for gamers. Leaks describe FSR 4 as being a performance enhancement that's a generation ahead of FSR 3.x. While FSR 3.x combines super-resolution based performance enhancement, and algorithmic frame-generation that nearly doubles framerates; FSR 4 is expected to be AMD's first performance enhancement to incorporate AI to not just enhance the visual detail in super-resolution, but also to improve accuracy of frame-generation. At this point, it is not known if FSR 4 will be available as a feature at launch of the Radeon RX 9070 series. VideoCardz reports that the early-January announcements could be followed by late-January availability of the hardware.

RDNA4
Keep in mind that the market for AMD is around:
- Midrange GPU, your 7700XT things like that
- handheld consoles whose usage has skyrocketed since the steam deck and where AMD clearly has a monopoly
- consoles, xbox, ps5 and the ps5 pro, those consoles combined are 90-100+m sold already
Now, RDNA4, if they can make a 4080-level performance (native) but much cheaper, I can ensure you this will be a hit. Not everyone is aiming for a 8950XT or 5090, they are good for talking and as tech demonstrators,..but steam surveys are really clear: most don’t careof course, it would also be interesting to see a 9090XT, I’d love to see that, however if that timespy score is achieved two years after with a much cheaper, efficient gpu, it’s also very interesting. All depends on the price
Also yes - Because Im doing a silly £3k build for an amature radio DJ guy. So I'll hit two birds with one stone.
Anyways.. hoping for the best in AMD land. Would be a good time for some competition :)
FSR1 is not FSR2 is not FSR3, they arnt improvements, they are different technologies.....
FSR4 might be relying on machine learning/AI, it would still be vendor agnostic but your hardware does not to support that sorta tech so older hardware will be left out.
But for those FSR1 2 and 3 hopefully will still be an option (and if not, maybe the modding community can help)
Or ya know....forgo all that upscaling crap and just run teh game natively, im so ffing sick of this focus on upscaling.
Also considering the backslash with Starfield not getting DLSS from day 1, while no one was objecting in cases where FSR wasn't supported, and also the fact that consumers keep buying blindly anything with an Nvidia logo on it, I doubt at AMD they have the will to keep throwing money on the gaming department. They could be feeling more pressure from Intel, but I doubt they are getting ready to push harder in gaming.How about DLSS 1 vs DLSS 2 vs DLSS 3 and which version runs on which Nvidia series and which Nvidia series supports Frame Generation or not.
Again everything AMD does is confusing and bad. Anything Nvidia does is natural.
There will be lots of excuses and justifications and they will simply give them more money.
But if AMD dares saying that FSR 4 only works on RDNA4...oh boy, the trashing will never stop.
Heck, Tim Jensen from Ngreedia Unboxed must be salivating at that scenario, just so he can trash AMD more, like how he went ballistic when it was rumored that AMD blocked his beloved DLSS from Starfield.
Anyways, I hate all these hype rumors and assumptions because if AMD doesnt deliver based on them, the influencers favorite moniker "DOA" will be flying all over.
That should be tested, no internet connection in a sp game or a bot match...
And of course finding noise in Nvidia's RT is nothing of interest, so no other articles about this was written.
PS I have to say that it was strange to see Tim posting such a video. Maybe he is trying to convince us that he is unbiased?
Anyway.......
Same for Digital Foundry and TechSpot.
- DLSS 3.x
- DLSS 2.x
- FSR 4.0 ?
- XeSS 1.x
- FSR 3.x
- FSR 2.x
Hoping for better image stability with less flickering (especially on foilage), and less ghosting (particularly on particle effects).You seem overoptimistic there.
I find it important for reviewers to be including what game engine video games use in their benchmarks, as it shows the age of the video game and what tools were at the disposal for developers. Also, I feel like even games that are on the same engine are still not equal. Due to either the video game is built only for PC, built for PC then ported to consoles, OR (the most important thing to remember imo) the game was built for the hardware one console then ported over to other consoles/PC. But this kind of info is in-depth and shows up in GN's reviews. However, the positive side of HWU is that they benchmark 35+ games and that makes for a great average, but sometimes they benchmark games no one is playing or heard of.
