AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT & 9070 Prices Leaked by Canadian Retailer

AMD will be launching its new generation of "RDNA 4" Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 graphics cards next month, but we will likely hear more about technical details and price points from official sources around late February. Team Red had scheduled a special "launch event," but Radeon RX 9070 series leaks continue to flow online. Earlier today, reports alluded to an XT variant that allegedly sports a generous VRAM pool of 32 GB. VideoCardz has received another RDNA 4 tip-off, courtesy of Tomasz Gawroński and the AnandTech forums. Based on screenshots, Canada Computers has inadvertently revealed regional prices (minus tax) for PowerColor and XFX's opening round of custom Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 models.

Team Red is reportedly lining up an aggressive price strategy; industry insiders reckon that that baseline MSRP for the Radeon RX 9070 XT will be $599. Its non-XT sibling is expected to launch at a minimum point of $499. The Canada Computers leak seems to contain a small selection of models that hover closer to AMD's guidelines, but the majority of listed cards seemingly demand a premium upcharge. PowerColor's barebones models appear to conform closest to Team Red's recommended baseline—according to VideoCardz's conversion-crunching, the Radeon RX 9070 XT Reaper will cost $999 CAD (~$697 USD). The RX 9070 (non-XT) Reaper will come in at $839 CAD (~$586 USD). We spotted no surprises when looking up and down the list of leaked PowerColor RDNA 4 SKUs; TechPowerUp staffers handled Red Devil, Hellhound and Reaper samples at CES 2025. In sharp contrast, XFX appears to have all sorts of options lined up for launch (refer to VideoCardz's chart, below). Two unnamed demonstration units—in black or white—were on display at AMD's recent partner roundup.
PowerColor's speculated day one lineup:
PowerColor Red Devil RX 9070 XT 16 GB - $1,239 CAD (~$865 USD)
PowerColor Red Devil RX 9070 XT 16 GB - $1,099 CAD (~$767 USD)
PowerColor Hellhound RX 9070 XT 16 GB - $1,049 CAD (~$732 USD)
PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 XT 16 GB - $999 CAD (~$697 USD) ⬅️MSRP
PowerColor Red Devil RX 9070 16 GB - $919 CAD (~$641 USD)
PowerColor Hellhound RX 9070 16 GB - $879 CAD (~$614 USD)
PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 16 GB - $839 CAD (~$586 USD) ⬅️ MSRP

XFX's leaked RDNA 4 release day lineup:
XFX Mercury RX 9070 XT OC White Magnetic Air RGB 16 GB - $1,229 CAD (~$856 USD)
XFX Mercury RX 9070 XT OC Magnetic Air RGB 16 GB - $1,199 CAD (~$837 USD)
XFX Mercury RX 9070 XT OC White Gaming RGB 16 GB - $1,189 CAD (~$830 USD)

XFX Mercury RX 9070 XT OC Gaming RGB 16 GB - $1,159 CAD (~$788 USD)
XFX Quicksilver RX 9070 XT Magnetic Air 16 GB - $1,129 CAD (~$748 USD)
XFX Swift RX 9070 XT White Triple Fan Gaming 16 GB - $1,099 CAD (~$767 USD)
XFX QuickSilver RX 9070 OC Gaming 16 GB - $949 CAD (~$662 USD)

Visible NoiseNot a chance IMHO.
AIBs had an additional month to pump out cards, as opposed to the 80/90 which were released earlier.
Also, by design, more 70 chips can be obtained from wafers.

We will have to wait till we actually see it but rumors put it at a similar size to the 5070ti/5080. 350-400mm2

Unless you're talking about the GB205 based 5070... which will probably be pretty small.

You're right. This stuff goes through so many places before it gets to you, I'm totally confused. :laugh:

I wonder how badly the UK will be hit. Do GPUs go through the US before they get to us, too?

I don't know... Going through the US to ship to Europe sounds counter-productive to me.

Those cards go to straight to the UK. I post a lot of gaming builds and the Brits have got it good. Their prices beat the US prices on average not to mention the Brits have components they don't offer here in the US. As far as Canadian prices go, the Canadians asked to be hosed.

Let's stay practical and not get into wild speculation, shall we? :)

I only asked about the effects of the new US import tariffs on UK prices.

US companies, yes. But if the cards don't pass through the US, then why would they have to pay import tariffs on them? They never get imported to the US to begin with.

I totally get that but if the US MSRP matches when converted to whatever your local currency is that means you are getting shafted. Is what I am saying.

That has been the case since forever. But it's not an answer to my question. I was talking about the new US import tariff, not the pre-existing UK ones.

My guess is even if it does not effect you directly like it costing more for AMD to import a card into the UK you will still get raw dogged.

I think the most my government can do is tell a US company not to import to a specific country I don't think they can charge US companies for doing business with the UK

Seems like all these retail rumored prices are done intentionally by AMD to confuse the f**K out of Nvidia, the fact that retailers already have the GPU's in stock & maybe plentiful as well, AMD could drop a massive bomb & price them lower than we think, AMD needs GPU market share badly.

If these are not the placeholder prices...then goid luck AMD, you will need it, a lot.
theglazeNvidia cannot get product to market.

What's the rush?
Because there are people, who are waiting since Pascal series, to upgrade. They've waited second cryptocraze, RTX 2000 facepalm generation, then the second crypto scam, "covid" caused "scarcity", the RDNA1 flop inception, the RTX3000/RX6000 absence, and Ada/RDNA3 gouging.
Now, AMD claimed, they are not interested in high-end GPUs for RDNA4, as this is a placeholder, before UDNA/RDNA5. But they yet crave for the high-end pricing, regardless. People had hopes to get a proper powerful/acceptable-ish mid-end, but alas.
