AMD’s Radeon RX 9070 series graphics cards are facing a massive supply shortage ever since their launch earlier this month, leading to price hikes and limited availability. However, Yeston, an add-in-board (AIB) partner, has reassured customers that supply will stabilize after April, offering relief to those struggling to find the GPUs at reasonable prices.
In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Yeston acknowledged the current stock issues but confirmed that weekly restocks are happening and that a more stable supply flow is expected after April. This suggests AMD and its partners are ramping up production to meet demand and ease market shortages.
🥰Hello everyone! Thank you for the support! We have received a lot of messages and would love to inform you now the supply is unstable, but we will restock every week. Please don't be frustrated if you didn't get it. The supply will continue stable to be available after April. https://t.co/U6oJSkziqb

Get your weekly teardown of the tech behind PC gaming
The Radeon RX 9070 series, built on AMD’s RDNA 4 architecture, includes the RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT models. Priced competitively at $549 and $599 respectively, these GPUs are either sold out or available as part of a fully built gaming PC from various system integrators.
If you do manage to find one, like this RX 9070 XT on Amazon, you are going to end up paying a lot more than the original MSRP. This pricing surge is not unique to AMD, as Nvidia is facing similar supply issues with its RTX 50 series GPUs. Many retailers have struggled to keep Nvidia’s latest graphics cards in stock, and scalpers have taken advantage of the situation, further inflating prices. According to Tom’s Hardware, retailers like Micro Center and Newegg, have increased prices for the Radeon RX 9070 XT by 11.7% to 21.7% in the U.S. and around 14.5% to 21.8% for the RX 9070.
With both AMD and Nvidia dealing with stock shortages, the overall GPU market remains volatile. However, Yeston’s confirmation that Radeon RX 9070 supply will improve post-April suggests that relief is on the horizon. As production stabilizes, consumers can expect better availability and potentially more competitive pricing in the coming months.

AMD’s latest GPUs may have an unexpected motherboard problem
Component companies are constantly upgrading their protocols and AMD is no different. The brand, known for its graphics cards, is transitioning its latest 9000 series GPUs to the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) firmware standard. This means shifting away from the pre-boot BIOS setup that has been the customary way of performing various system tasks for many years.
PC World noted that many computer enthusiasts may believe that UEFI and pre-boot BIOS are interchangeable. However, AMD detailed in support documentation that it is moving forward with UEFI as its sole firmware standard for graphics cards including the Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT, for several reasons. These include improved security, interoperability for different interfaces, swift firmware updates, support for large hard drives, support for new PC hardware, Windows Secure Boot compatibility, as well as faster shutdown, startup, sleep, and resume times.
AMD RX 9060 XT might not be the Nvidia-beating GPU we first thought
A new leak tells me that AMD's RX 9060 XT may repeat the same mistake as the RX 7600 XT, all the while missing out on a chance to win against rival Nvidia. While AMD's RX 9060 XT may not compete against some of the best graphics cards, it's going to be a mainstream card, which is great news for gamers. The downside, as is often the case, might lie in VRAM.
As shown in this listing filed with the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC), Acer has just registered several new trademarks for its upcoming GPUs. This includes the Acer Predator Bifrost RX 9060 XT OC in two variants: One with 8GB VRAM and one with 16GB.
AMD FSR 4 uses AI to offer up to 3.7x gaming performance
AMD finally shared technical specifications and pricing for its latest RDNA 4-based Radeon RX 9070 series GPUs. After a rather dull announcement at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the company today hosted a special online event where it spoke about architectural details and new features that we can expect from the RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT graphics cards.
Alongside the launch of the Radeon RX 9000 series, AMD also announced key updates to its upscaling and performance-boosting technologies. FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) 4 represents a significant shift in AMD’s approach to image upscaling and frame generation, while HYPR-RX receives refinements to further optimize gaming performance.
