AMD through David McAfee (VP & GM of Ryzen CPU and Radeon graphics) on X announced that the Radeon 9000 series GPUs will go on sale in March of this year. Even though there were many rumours of the 9000 series launching in January they have been shut down by AMD, there is no update on the when the launch event will be for the 9000 series of GPUs. Many retailers already received the stock of 9070 and 9070XT GPUs in early January and it has also been confirmed that some reviewers received them as early as late December which might explain the Chiphell performance leaks. If the rumours are to be believe the cause of the bumpy launch is the price pressure on AMD caused by Nvidia lowering the launch prices of their 70 and 80 series cards from the last generation. It can be assumed that AMD were surprised by the "competitive" prices offered by Nvidia and need a to revise their own pricing. A blessing in disguise is that once officially released the series should have large stock available. So hopefully AMD won’t disappoint with pricing and FSR4 will be ready as well.

This has been sort of refuted by David McAfee in a tweet where he said that the $899 price was never a part of the plan.

In other news, it has pretty much been confirmed that FSR4 probably won't be coming to the 7000 series GPUs as it is based on FP8 according to a DLL file and the performance of the 7000 series in FP8 tasks is not the best to say the least.

Also Nvidia's DLSS4 in cyberpunk and other games with quality upscaling looks better than native resolution. So it is safe to say that FSR4 will most probably not be able to compete, but still might be at the level of DLSS3
