Beyond gaming, RX 8 GPUs take advantage of new 8nd generation AI accelerators with up to XNUMXx the performance of INTXNUMX per AI accelerator (for sparse matrices) to enhance creative applications and efficiently run generative AI applications (compared to RDNA 3).i The RX 9000 Series GPUs also implement the newly redesigned AMD Radiance Display™ Engine and Enhanced Media Engine for broad display support and elevated quality when recording and streaming.  

Gaming for today and tomorrow 

The Radeon RX 9000 Series unlocks new levels of performance while delivering a suite of new and improved features that enhance the gaming experience. The Radeon RX 9070 Series offers 16GB of GDDR6 memory, allowing gamers to render the most exciting games of today and tomorrow at maximum settings. Compared to the previous generation RX 7900 GRE, the new AMD Radeon RX 9070 is capable of delivering over 20% additional performance on average when playing games at 1440ii, with the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT extending that lead to over 40% on average.iii 

Both graphics cards make smart upgrades for gamers looking to ensure the longevity of their systems with a next-gen feature set that will keep their experiences fresh for years to come. Key features include: 

• AMD RDNA™ 4 Unified Compute Units: With up to 64 AMD RDNA™ 4 advanced compute units, delivering up to 40% faster gaming performance than the previous generation AMD RDNA™ 3 architecture.iii 

• High Performance Raytracing: With third-generation ray tracing accelerators, AMD RDNA™ 4 can deliver more than twice the ray tracing performance per compute unit compared to the previous generation.i Gamers with the latest AMD Radeon RX 9000 Series will be ready for immersive gaming experiences with high-quality graphics, including realistic lighting, shadows and reflections. 

• AI Acceleration Boosted: 4nd generation AI accelerators have received several improvements, allowing AMD RDNA™ 3 to process advanced AI models much faster than with RDNA™ XNUMXiv, through a combination of additional math pipelines for AI computations, extending the capabilities of the AI ​​accelerator to support new emerging data types like FP8, and inference optimizations like structured sparsity. These changes deliver up to 8x the performance of INT8 per AI accelerator (for sparse matrices) per compute unit compared to the previous generation..i 

• AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4) Technology: AMD’s new ML-powered upscaling technology delivers improved, high-quality frames under the most demanding workloads like 4K gaming at maximum ray tracing settings and will be supported in over 30 games at launch. 

• Innovative suite of features via HYPR-RX: Gamers can instantly enhance their experience by enabling AMD HYPR-RX and the suite of features within AMD Software including AMD Radeon™ Super Resolution, AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2.1, AMD Radeon™ Anti-Lag, and AMD Radeon™ Boost. These features can be customized to the gamer’s hardware and preferences within AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition™ to boost FPS, responsiveness, and efficiency. 

• AMD AI-Enhanced Software: Adrenalin Edition™ App – A new suite of software and features designed to deliver an industry-leading user experience with AMD Radeon RX 9070 Series graphics cards. Keep your drivers and AI software up to date with the new Software Manager. Find answers to your questions on all things AMD or create text and images privately and for free with AMD Chat.
