Micro Center’s listing comes just days after AMD revealed that the Radeon RX 9070 and Radeon RX 9070 XT, its first RDNA 4 graphics cards, will be available beginning on March 6 for $549 and $599, respectively.

Here’s a look at their specs chart, which can confirm clocks of up to 3 GHz and power demands of up to 304 watts:

“The new graphics cards feature 16GB of memory and extensive improvements designed for high-quality gaming graphics, including re-vamped raytracing accelerators and powerful AI accelerators for ultra-fast, cutting-edge performance, and breakthrough gaming experiences,” AMD said in a press release.

“These advanced graphics cards redefine incredibly fast, high-resolution gaming with third-generation raytracing technology enabling realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections to deliver immersive gaming experiences while integrating a suite of AMD features to maximize hardware utilization,” the company added. “Beyond gaming, the RX 9000 Series GPUs leverage new second-generation AI accelerators with up to 8x INT8 throughput per AI accelerator (for sparse matrices) to enhance creative applications and effectively run generative AI applications (vs. RDNA 3).1 The RX 9000 Series GPUs also implement the newly redesigned AMD Radiance Display Engine & Enhanced Media Engine for broad display support and elevated quality in both recording and streaming.”
