AMD Radeon RX 9070 Series Available Now According to Out-of-date Advertising
PC hardware enthusiasts located in Germany, Poland and the United Kingdom have stumbled upon amusingly out-of-date AMD Radeon RX 9070 series GPU advertising. Earlier today, examples were presented on the Radeon subreddit—the social media-sourced announcements provide another look at Team Red's new reference design (Made-By-AMD/MBA) for the RDNA 4 generation, but the accompanying text (translated to English) implies that gamers can "play now" on not-yet-released Navi 48 GPU-based hardware. AMD has officially delayed its launch of Radeon RX 9070 XT and Radeon RX 9070 (non-XT) cards into March, but older leaked information pointed to a possible January 23 (today) rollout.
This marketing campaign has seemingly kicked off prematurely—perhaps initiated by mistake. VideoCardz reached out to retail sources for comment—their report indicates that promotional material was ready to go, but embargoes are reportedly still in place. They reckon that a basic specification teaser could emerge online in the near future. Board partners have already distributed products across retail networks, and finalized units have been unboxed—today's advertised claim of "immediate availability" is no longer valid, but many folks hoped for a pre-January 30 kick-off. NVIDIA will be launching its GeForce RTX 50 series at the end of this month, but industry soothsayers believe that things will not go smoothly.

And buying Nvidia instead? Sure, but which one? The 5070 will be out at roughly the same time as the 9070 XT (and with 12 GB VRAM instead of 16).
I got star wars jedi survivor with amd cpu /gpu
avatar / pandora with amd cpu / gpu
the last of us part 1 with amd cpu / gpu.
As of now I consider the last of us part 1 as a medium game. The other two games are just trash games. I was stuck for a very long time with pandora. I left it behind and recently tried it again. That game was untouched for around 10-12 months I think on my nvme.
That x670 mainboard + ryzen 7600X + star wars jedi survivor game in may 2023 for ~395€ with free shipping was not that bad deal.
i consider those "cashback" from the other brands also an action from the marketing department.
-- Those amd reward games were just enough to get me clicking the buy button.
The only price tag that makes sense and can help AMD to stabilise the market position is $399.
I wonder why AMD has so serious issues with everything - drivers, marketing, offered technologies (DLSS replacement, frame-generating AI, etc.), when it has 100% the consoles market, and works closely with Sony and Microsoft ? ! :confused: :kookoo:
