New AMD Radeon RX 9070 gaming GPU range reportedly delayed by high prices

AMD has apparently priced its elusive new Radeon RX 9070 gaming GPU range too high to compete with the new Nvidia GeForce RTX 5000 series, which is reportedly the reason why there’s no word on the specs, price, or release date yet. The new AMD Radeon RX 9070 graphics cards were announced at CES with curiously little fanfare, despite plenty of graphics cards from various manufacturers being on display. The reason, according to this rumor, is that the company is now stuck in a pricing quagmire as retailers already have stock of the cards.

While Nvidia is expected to take the award for the absolute best graphics card when the RTX 5090 release date arrives shortly, we were hoping that AMD would at least be able to answer the RTX 5070 with a competitively-priced alternative. However, given Nvidia’s current dominance in the market, AMD is going to have to price the new Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT very competitively.
