AMD RDNA 4: Targeting the Lower-End
AMD's RDNA 4 cards are anticipated to bring high-end performance to a more affordable price point. We might see RX 7700 XT-level performance at around the $300 mark, but a release date closer to mid-year is likely, considering AMD's previous release patterns.
Nvidia RTX 50-Series: Early Budget Hopes?
Nvidia's Blackwell architecture, launching at CES 2025, is expected to debut with the RTX 50-series. While a March release for an RTX 5060 seems surprisingly early, it’s a possibility. However, pricing remains uncertain. An RTX 5060 could launch at $300-$400. There is optimism that Nvidia might have learned from its previous aggressive pricing strategies.
The Bottom Line
With new budget GPUs anticipated from Intel, AMD, and Nvidia throughout 2025, the year presents a strong opportunity for PC upgrades. Increased competition could lead to better value and performance for budget-conscious gamers.
