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)

AusWolfLast time I checked, 750 was 25% more than 600, not 9%.

9070 XT vs 5070 Ti. MSRP. Leaked prices may or may not be real, not to mention the US import tariff, which will 1. not apply to the rest of the world, 2. will apply to AMD and Nvidia equally.

The msrp seems to be 700$ for the xt, but that's besides the point. Considering the 5080 should have been a 5060ti, the 5070ti is what, a 5060. So we are happy that amd release a 5060 competitor for 700$. Hooray I guess

$600 (link) for the XT.

And no shoulda-woulda bollocks, please. :) The 5080 should have been a space rocket, and the 9070 should have been a coffee grinder. Total nonsense. Everything is what it is.

I'm using the arguments I've seen on the 5080 reviews. The 5080 is a 5060ti in disguise. I hope a 600$ amd card slaps the 5060ti hard.

I'm not, so I don't know why you feel like countering my arguments with other people's unrelated nonsense adds anything to the conversation.

I really REALLY hope these prices have since been revised by AMD because unless this card comes near to or equals the performance of my 7900 XTX (with somehow less VRAM) it should NOT be close to what I paid for my 7900 XTX in AUD. Bearing in mind that we normally get slugged with an "Australia Tax" on top of that which would probably make it the same price as my 7900 XTX anyway.

These prices would be far more reasonable but at this point my faith in AMD is dwindling HARD after the disastrous handling of RDNA4.

It's probably the new US import tax at play.

Bomby569I'm not spending 700/800 euros on a AMD mid range gpu and if I were i could buy a used 7900 xt/xtx and have lots of money to spare. You can keep them.
Last night I saw a 7900xtx Hellhound sell for €885, used. They're like €1000 new. Even the used market is whack over here.

like i said you can find them for around 700 euros here. But there aren't many. There were plenty before everyone realised the new gpus were just a mirage. As soon as they are available the used market will bloom again
