AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT & RX 9070 Custom Models In Stock at European Stores

AMD's board partners flaunted their new Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 custom models at last week's CES trade event, but no one expected to see retail units pop up anytime soon after the concluded Las Vegas showcase. Earlier today, a brave soul uploaded compelling new evidence on Team Red's subreddit—they claim that they were surprised to see the "early" delivery of Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 graphics card stock. Uploaded photos seem to show several boxed Sapphire Pulse models sitting in an Israeli computer store's stockroom. This leak has semi-ruined Sapphire's staggered Pulse-oriented marketing campaign—yesterday, a teaser image emerged via an official social media post.

Industry watcher, momomo_us, has gathered proof of GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC 16G and Radeon RX 9070 GAMING OC 16G model stock reaching Danish shores. According to VideoCardz, Føniks Computer's online store had at least four units available for purchase and immediate shipping (same business day). Entries for the two models have also appeared on Geizhals—this German price comparison engine lists January 24 as a market launch date. This information could be subject to change—AMD is likely still working on finalizing release window parameters. After all, recent pre-launch leaks have contained incomplete data and errors. It should be noted that NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 50 series is set to hit international markets on January 30—is Team Red planning to pre-empt this rollout?

As Intel shows with the B580 - if a company (AMD) releases a card with a good price/performance ratio - it will sell, if not, everyone will go to Nvidia because Jensen needs a new leather jacket

I'd shut my trap if I was you.
:kookoo: For AMD it is extremely difficult, maybe even impossible to accept the real situation on the ground, as this analysis clearly shows ?
I don't know what you take - some pills, maybe something that has a terrible smell ?
Sound_CardThe Green psychosis in this thread is wild lol.
wolfI found that people I'd consider green leaning give the bottom line on the 5070 = 4090 questions rather well across multiple threads/discussions.
There is, if we're to use your choice of terminology, plenty of "red psychosis" too around here, so perhaps there's some other specifics you'd like to comment on rather than throw divisive name calling shade? It's a discussion, respond to points with your own points.
It isn't about "green" vs. another "green" (or "red" which it is not). It's about market shares and real shipments count.

I was responding to someone else's specific comment that did imply that... but lets say it is about market shares and shipment counts, do you have something to discuss on that topic? I don't really understand your comment.

Sound_CardPartly yes, do you have any idea how easily people bought the 5070 is as fast as the 4090? I'm not talking about the upper 1% that browse these forums. But your casuals that get their tech info from social media, zoomers.

Your average consumer is mildly retarded, yes.
The casuals don't know who Jensen huang is, they don't know what CES is and there is no way in hell they watched the thing

AusWolf550 is still not bad for a 4080 class GPU, imo. 600 would be stretching it. Sure, AMD is perceived as "the budget friendly" option, but they can't offer discounts to no end.



Placeholder price.

JustBenchinggamestream (which is guttered now tbf - nvidia removed it from their new APP!!)
Nvidia dropped official support for gamestream (IIRC), but Moonlight is still alive and well. Thanks to Sunshine, you can even use it with an AMD GPU on the host, which doesn't even have to run Windows. I use this software daily. It's by far the best option for in-home streaming, certainly for games, but it also works for remote desktop. Every time this topic comes up, in fact, I'm reminded of how brutally inferior Steam's variant of in-home streaming is.

The gamestream thing is illustrative of the whole story here. History shows that Nvidia tends to innovate with some (semi-)proprietary feature, which is then improved upon and/or opened up by other players, notably AMD (e.g. Freesync), and then finally the entire user base benefits. We were potentially on track for a similar story with FSR, but AMD just didn't have the juice. It's still possible, I suppose, that major game studios and GPU manufacturers will come to some sort of agreement to standardize upscalers, once enough time has passed with a sufficient number of GPU generations featuring the requisite hardware--or if not the upscalers themselves then the workflow to implement them. My understanding is that DLSS and XeSS aren't all that dissimilar from a game developer's perspective, even now.

Both companies (or I guess all three companies, these days) play a crucial role in the GPU market, which is why I hate seeing AMD make so many unforced errors.

Yeah I know about sunshine but it doesn't play nice with my switch + moonlight for whatever reason.

Nvidia has dropped support indeed but you could still use it, it's when the new app becomes mandatory that it will go kaput since they removed the option altogether.

Since this now an red vs green thread, are there any red or green high end cards that use the 8-pin PCIe power connector and are 2 slots or slimmer? I'd settle for a water cooled card if it can be made 1 slot wide.

Yeah, I should have been clearer that Sunshine isn't just for AMD. It's for Nvidia too, once their app drops the option. (Or if you're not running Windows on the host.)

If Sunshine isn't working for you, and if your host is on Windows, Parsec is quite good.

Another senseless comment from you.

Be sure nobody gives credit to anything you say here. That's corroborated by the fact you joined yesterday.

Lastly, maybe you are the one farting from behind your keyboard, that justifies the "terrible smell".

Bye.
