• AMD’s RX 9070 is supposedly set to have opinions aired on March 5
• That’s the identical day as Nvidia releases its RTX 5070 GPU
• This additional backs up the rumor that the on-sale date for RX 9070 fashions could possibly be March 6

Extra proof has emerged from the rumor mill that AMD is establishing a mid-range GPU showdown between its RX 9070 and Nvidia’s RTX 5070.

VideoCardz brings us what’s purportedly the evaluate embargo date for RX 9070 fashions, which is March 5, forward of a theoretical March 6 on-sale date (all AMD has formally mentioned, although, is that these graphics playing cards will go on sale in early March).

Nevertheless, as evaluate embargoes are likely to fall a day (or perhaps two) forward of the arrival of GPUs on cabinets, this does additional recommend that the RX 9070 on-sale date would possibly in actual fact be March 6 as rumored.

What’s additionally telling about March 5 is that it’s an enormous date in Nvidia’s personal launch diary – that is the day that RTX 5070 graphics playing cards formally go on sale.

So, the plan would look like for AMD to set off a flood of opinions of RX 9070 GPUs, little question evaluating them to the RTX 5070 (which is able to have already got been reviewed at that time). And presumably the hope for Group Pink is that this might dampen the passion for Nvidia’s graphics playing cards as they hit the cabinets.

Evaluation: Pricing playing cards on the desk, please, AMD

After all, all this will depend on how these opinions pan out, and the rival graphics playing cards really stack up to one another. However up to now, the leaks across the RX 9070 paint a promising image, and also you’ve bought to assume AMD should be fairly assured to have arrange an (virtually) head-to-head launch right here.

At any charge, I can’t wait to search out out, and clearly I’m not alone there – anybody in search of mid-ranger at a (comparatively) extra inexpensive value is probably as eager as I’m to find the place the ultimate efficiency of those AMD and Nvidia GPUs will lie.

Whereas we all know the asking value for Nvidia’s RTX 5070 – which is $549 / £539 – what we don’t know is the place AMD is pitching its RX 9070 and 9070 XT. Up to now, Group Pink is taking part in its pricing playing cards near its chest, however I’m hoping we’ll lastly discover out the MSRP on the large launch occasion AMD has deliberate for February 28.
