The Radeon RX 9000 series is a series of consumer graphics processing units developed by AMD, based on the RDNA 4 architecture. The series is targeting the mainstream segment and is the successor to the Radeon RX 7000 series.

Background

AMD's Q3 2024 earnings call in October 2024 confirmed that RDNA 4 would be releasing in early 2025 with CEO Lisa Su saying that the architecture "delivers significantly higher ray tracing performance and adds new AI capabilities".{{cite web |last=Hollister |first=Sean |date=October 30, 2024 |title=AMD confirms its next-gen RDNA 4 GPUs will launch in early 2025 |url=https://www.theverge.com/2024/10/29/24283263/amd-radeon-rdna-4-gpus-2025 |website=The Verge |language=en-US |access-date=January 6, 2025}}{{cite web |last=Hachman |first=Mark |date=October 29, 2024 |title='This is the strongest PC portfolio we've had': AMD schedules next-gen GPUs for early 2025 |url=https://www.pcworld.com/article/2504851/amd-officially-schedules-next-gen-gpus-for-early-2025.html |website=PCWorld |language=en-US |access-date=January 6, 2025}}

In December 2024, an AMD advertising campaign tie-in with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on Reddit showed a Ryzen 9 processor and what appeared to be the Radeon RX 9070 XT reference design.{{cite web |last1=Klotz |first1=Aaron |date=December 23, 2024 |title=Radeon RX 9070 XT reference design purportedly revealed — RDNA 4 GPU emerges with black and a triple fan cooler design |url=https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/radeon-rx-9070-xt-reference-design-purportedly-revealed-rdna-4-gpu-emerges-with-black-shroud-with-a-triple-fan-cooler-design |website=Tom's Hardware |language=en-US |access-date=January 6, 2025}}

Features

= RDNA 4 architecture =

The RDNA 4 architecture used by the Radeon RX 9000 series is, according to AMD, focused on improved ray tracing performance and expanded AI acceleration capabilities with an "optimized" Compute Unit design.{{cite web |last1=Warren |first1=Tom |date=January 6, 2025 |title=AMD announces next-gen Radeon RX 9070-series GPUs with AI-powered FSR 4 upscaling |url=https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/6/24336246/amd-radeon-rx-9070-series-rdna-4-fsr-4-ces-2025 |website=The Verge |language=en-US |access-date=January 6, 2025}}

= FSR 4 =

FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4) is AMD's first machine-learning upscaling solution that is able to leverage the second-generation AI accelerator cores in the RDNA 4 architecture.{{cite web |title=AMD announces FSR4, available "only on Radeon RX 9070 series" |url=https://videocardz.com/pixel/amd-announces-fsr4-available-only-on-radeon-rx-9070-series |website=VideoCardz |language=en-US |date=January 6, 2025 |access-date=January 6, 2025}} AMD stated that due to requiring hardware acceleration, FSR 4 was limited to the Radeon RX 9000 series. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be the first title to integrate FSR 4 upscaling support.
