Today, during the CES 2025 event in Las Vegas, tech giant AMD detailed its AMD RDNA 4 architecture and revealed the brand-new Radeon RX 9070 graphics cards and FSR 4.
The entire foundation of AMD RDNA 4 has been created with several new upgrades in mind, including optimized compute units, supercharged AI compute, improved ray tracing capabilities per compute unit, and better media encoding quality. The new GPUs will be based on a 4nm process node and will use 2nd Gen AI Accelerators, 3rd Gen Raytracing Accelerators, and a 2nd Gen AMD Radiance DisplayEngine.
The two graphics cards that were introduced are the RX 9070 XT and the Radeon RX 9070, each of which are set to launch Q1 2025. You can take a look at the cards for yourself right down below:
Alongside these impressive new graphics cards, AMD also showed off its new upscaling technology, the FSR 4. Developed with RDNA 4 and the unique compute aspects of the RDNA 4 AI accelerators in mind, you’ll need to have one of the cards announced above to be able to handle the machine-learning power and 4K.
This will lead to dramatically increased performance and quality compared to previous generations via FSR 4’s Frame-Gen and lower latency thanks to Anti-Lag 2. AMD FSR 4 will be supported across numerous games that feature FSR 3.1 integration, including Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. This means that there are already games that support it, but you’ll just need to have an RDNA 4 GPU to run it.
