AMD might be planning a boosted VRAM version of its upcoming RX 9070 XT graphics card, with as much as 32GB of GDDR6. That’s 50% more memory than AMD’s current flagship, and equivalent to Nvidia’s $2000 RTX 5090.

Let's be real – the RX 9070 XT isn't remotely an RTX 5090 rival, but AMD is allegedly working on a model with 32GB VRAM. That's right. The red team is potentially pairing a mid-range GPU with the same memory as Nvidia 's $2,000 flagship graphics card, and I can't be the only one who finds that a little weird.

AMD is said to be pricing the RX 9070 XT very aggressively, but that may not be enough to bring back the hype.The Latest Tech News, Delivered to Your Inbox

The post indicates that AMD is working on the Radeon RX 9070 XT GPU, which could feature an impressive 32GB of VRAM. Zhangzhonghao mentioned a planned release in Q1, aligning with AMD CEO Lisa Su’s earlier statement that the 9070 XT would launch in “early March.”

NVIDIA may opt to slightly delay the release of its GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and 5070 to steal some thunder from AMD's Radeon RX 9070 series launch.

AMD's Radeon RX 9070 XT, expected to be built on the RDNA 4 architecture, features 4,096 shading units, 16GB of GDDR6 memory, and second-generation AI accelerators. Expected to launch in March 2025, it aims to deliver enhanced ray-tracing performance and AI capabilities.
