AMD Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT Listed On Amazon - One Buyer Snags a Unit
We live in crazy times, that's for sure. We have already witnessed a plethora of listings for AMD's RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT GPUs - both set to hit shelves early next month - indicating a decent value proposition compared to NVIDIA's RTX 5070 family, if the leaks and rumors are anything to go by. More recently, as spotted by @momomo_us, Amazon briefly listed a bunch of RX 9070 and 9070 XT cards from XFX. The pricing details are as follows:
As expected from previous whispers, the base RX 9070 card is priced at a relatively okayish $650, and the RX 9070 XT is priced $100 higher. However, things soon took an interesting turn, when a Sapphire Nitro+ RX 9070 XT also got listed on Amazon CA - and a curious Redditor actually managed to purchase the thing. The triple-slot, triple-fan card, was priced at a whopping $1,365 CAD, or roughly $962 - which is quite an absurd price for what the card is expected to offer. Of course, the listing was not meant to go live before official release, which was originally intended for late January before being pushed back to early March. Needless to say, it is highly likely that the Redditor's order will end up getting cancelled, or perhaps, shipped only after the official release.

Times of being able to get mid tier card for $299-$399 are definitely over.
Vote with your wallet. It might be wise to go back for 3-4 year hardware upgrade period as in the past. Newest games are PoS anyway ...
This is audiophile grade level bullshit. I cAn SeE ThInGs!!1One.I really think it is though. 7900XT is certainly not competing with either the 4080 (S) or the 4070.Graphics and triple A gaming has reached 'max stupid' and gone beyond into utter idiocy. Some people see this, others are so enslaved to the M.O. (which is: the sky's the limit, it can always be better/more/greater and look they even promise it, so its true) that they haven't figured it out yet. Its the same thing as in movies from a specific segment called Hollywood. Its beyond ridiculous content at this point, with its fanbase - a large one at that - but it has stagnated, recycling its own ideas and just throwing random shit together and calling it a multiverse or some other nonsense.
Its the content that focuses heavily on 'the things around the content' such as MTX, franchise-related gear, collectors items, 'events' that are really just more advertising, and monetization schemes outside the actual content's price. Its all about buying things so you can show off how much of a fan you are. The content itself is an afterthought - the sheep get it anyway. Its really the market catering to the bottom of intellect and a group that is unable to escape peer pressure & fomo.
Also, the man's obviously avoiding the weak area of FSR, even 3, which is motion resolution, as we get a glorious 15 minutes of video looking at one location. If you want to have some fun making that video's opinion turn 180 degrees, check the way shadows trail under vehicles on FSR, where they do not on DLSS, for example. Even in a static image, DLSS is more stable with anything that is in motion, especially if its starting to move across the screen faster. FSR creates a smear effect where DLSS does not.
If you want I'll look at it again and spot a few more things to completely destroy the arguments made here.
FSR in Cyberpunk is absolute gutter trash and NO it does not give a better image, its an unstable mess. About as unstable as the guy's general sentence structure. He's just rambling.
It's price min of 800-825$ without tax. Enjoy
*- still trash
I think USA have graphic card prices written without TAX.
19% germany, 20% is tax in austria. When it is only 24% more with € it's really damn good. Note: It is a multiplication by * 1.20 // or * 1.2
Therefore I think USA Dollar prices is always without tax.

go on recommend 12GiB 4070TI Super. That VRAM will bite you sooner or later. Regardless of htose who will disagree.
zero doubts
Annual major fab improvements are over. NVidia just rolled out 'next gen' that for the most part is like the last gen. And it sells it for more than last gen. (MSRP is fake)
If AMD offers 7900XT perf for $700 it is still a good deal.
(old stock being sold for less does not matter, does it?)
Also, if there a no fab improvements, cards will last longer.
You'll upgrade even less frequently.
Which means even less money flowing into the business.
So, uh.
But do you know WHY it will outsell AMD's GPUs?
Three uppercaes letters, cough.
As long as people will buy this junk for those prices situation will not change!
RTX 5070 650-750$
RTX 5070 Ti 850-1000$
RTX 5080 1450-2000$
RTX 5090 no clue at all never was in stock

Better value than 7900XT ?
We are commenting on random speculations from internet.You seem to struggle at it.... :D
Might need to check your source material.
It could be a 4060...lord knows they are over valued.
I could be a 3060 or 3060ti. They're two generations old.
Hmmm....what do I guess?
-buzz- Time's up
It's a 2060 Super. Nearly a 6 year old low tier card for 250 USD with a "normal" price of almost double that. Newegg is really losing the whole "quality control" argument...and I'm starting to think they need to be taken out back and shown some double barrel mercy.
If the 9070 can come in around $500-550 and the XT can come in around $600-650 they'll literally wipe away everything below that price point still choking the market from two generations ago that is still commanding stupidly high pricing. I want AMD to have a win here....because right now the B580 is our only chance at bringing people into the PC scene without spending an arm and a leg. That said, I'm still reticent because AMD has a lot of room to pull a "hold my beer" moment and try for greed over competition with Nvidia...and the last few years seems to confirm they are dumb enough to make that happen.
Now, stop trolling and grow out of this teenager mentality.
No one has any doubt that the new iPhone outsells the old one, but is it better value? I don't think so.
if the price is too close, AMD has no change in hell, zero. How do i know? look at the past.
Personally if i'm spending 400, i easily spend 50 more and go with Nvidia, if i'm spending 600 i will easily spend 100 more and go with Nvidia, and so on. It's not even a question i spend 1 minute considering. I will not put up with the crap i put up with RDNA1. This is what also 90% of the people do.
I will also buy a AMD card without hesitation for the right price.
