AMD Radeon RX 9000 Series Event Scheduled: February 28
David McAfee—AMD's corporate vice president and general manager of client channel business—has highlighted February 28 as a highly important date for next-gen graphics technology. The much-anticipated (and teased) Radeon RX 9000 series unveiling event has a confirmed time slot on that day: 8 AM EST. The overseer of Ryzen CPU and Radeon GPUs has warded off curious queries from journalists and members of the PC hardware for several weeks, since the conclusion of CES 2025. A confusing early January presentation did not include a segment dedicated to upcoming RDNA 4 products. Online conjecture pointed to Team Red delaying and restrategizing the launch of Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 models.
AMD enthusiasts will breathe a collective sigh of relief, after reading McAfee's announcement: "the wait is almost over. Join us on February 28 at 8 AM EST for the reveal of the next-gen AMD Radeon RX 9000 Series. Get ready to make it yours when it hits shelves in early March. RSVP by subscribing to the AMD YouTube channel." Insider sources reckon that retailers will have stock on shelves by the rumored March 6 launch day. Mid-to-late January leaks suggested a fairly comprehensive distribution of board partner custom cards across European retail channels. Alleged specifications and performance results have leaked out over the past month and a half—will AMD (and AIBs) have any surprises lined up for the February 28 event?

There are more ways for AMD to mess up this launch than with poor inventory (worse still if inventory is still somehow poor with all the extra time to build up the card stockpile).
nvidia marketing is for complete brainwashed idiots. RTX 5070 = RTX 4090, MSRP is completely off the rails and etc jam.
What they should do is a surpise attack and release their 9070 series card the same time as the 5070TI at -100$. Bunch of wankers AMD.
They had two months of wasted sales to decide on a new price. How low will they go, and will that make up for the loss of momentum, we'll find out eventually.
