Watch the AMD RX 9000-series livestream with us here: Finally, some new AMD graphics cards to get nerdy with

It's been a long time coming, but this announcement is the one many of us have been waiting for: AMD's RX 9000-series graphics cards are due to be revealed at 8am EST (5am PST, 1pm GMT) today.

I'll be watching along with the rest of you and keeping this blog updated with my thoughts, analysis, and probably some random things that spring to mind as the reveal unfolds.

I'm expecting to see the long-rumoured RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT make their debut with some cold hard numbers to chew on, along with some tasty updates on FSR 4, too. Still, these announcements can often go a bit sideways at the last minute, so who knows what might be revealed? AMD announces plans to go to the moon? It could happen, folks.

Nah, I reckon we're just going to see some shiny new GPUs and some upscaling gear, with hopefully some pricing, too. Which is more than enough for me, after months of speculation. So break out the popcorn and join me, because I think this is going to get interesting.

AMD GPU announcement live blog

Hello! Welcome to our live coverage of AMD's RX 9000-series GPU announcement. My name is Andy, and I'll be your flight attendant for today. There are no complimentary snacks. My bad.

The announcement itself gets underway at 8am EST. You're early, and I like that about you.

I'm on my third cup of coffee already. This was perhaps a mistake.
