As Wccftech reports, while AMD has yet to reveal its price plans for its upcoming RDNA 4 graphics cards, a leaker posting on IT Home suggests that Team Red won’t be messing around, and could price the Radeon RX 9000 GPUs low enough as to cause Team Green some real headaches.
It’s no secret that AMD’s GPUs are a lot less popular than Nvidia’s (you only need to look at the most recent Steam Hardware Survey to see just how much Team Green dominates the graphics card market for gamers), but the company has a unique opportunity right now to take a decent chunk of the market from Nvidia.
A new rumor suggests that AMD is preparing to launch its Radeon RX 9000 series of flagship graphics cards with an “aggressive” price to compete with arch rival Nvidia.
AMD launched the Radeon RX 7800 XT in 2023 for $499.99 (about £380/AU$725), so the leaker’s comments suggest that the new Radeon RX 9070 series of GPUs will launch for around $500 - $600.
Of course, that’s great news for Nvidia, but it means AMD could tempt frustrated PC gamers to pick up one of its new GPUs rather than waiting for more stock of Nvidia’s cards to appear.
