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

[AusWolf]

Power draw (probably, assuming the 9070 is better at that) and FSR4. And the increased RT

And the previous gen being replaced and unavailable.

I am leaning more towards the 5070 TI 16GB, being the winner here probably 50W less power and atleast 10% faster then the 9070XT

So...going to wait and see how it plays out.

AMD has a good opertunity to make it happen, but we all know AMD has this skill to F it up!

Last 4 upgrades has been AMD, I think its time to swtich to the green side...

The price has been leaked.

So high price suggests it will be considerably faster than RTX 4090?!

Placeholder price

Placeholder price

Has been said so many times, why people still on about this is just stupid!

But AMD as they are, are always their own worse enemy!

Because people still won't get it into their heads as it seems.

Probably they want to try to see how many will act stupid and put these stupid things in their order carts!

Price is a placeholder but at least thats another confirmation that those cards will probably launch on 23.01, one week ahead of Nvidia.

That's a small Greek shop that you can ignore. I mean they say "4-10 days" shipping, like they already have the cards.

Looking for 9070xt but not more than 600€.

 

[Legacy-ZA]

100% agree. $549.99. Their biggest fans will jump at it, the restock will sit there unsold, and AMD will be clueless as to why they have no sales.

People may not like Nvidia pricing, but at least they don’t screw over their biggest fans - the early adopters - the way AMD does. Lots of people must have felt so warm and snugly after AMD cut the price of Zen5 three weeks after release.

Damn, if AMD prices it at $550, it will give me serious pause until nGreedia match the price/performance. That would be so juicy.

Read a rumor today that AMD was caught completely by surprise by Nvidia's pricing scheme for Blackwell, which makes perfect sense and is in line with much of the speculation on this forum. But apparently the reason we see so many reports of AMD cards sitting in retail stock rooms is that AMD distributed those cards to retailers at an agreed price point that now isn't tenable. They're stuck trying to renegotiate with retailers before they offer those cards to the public.

It is, in short, another price-related AMD-marketing fiasco. Perhaps the biggest in recent memory. What a disappointment. It's just a rumor, of course, but it fits the facts.

I don't think that rumor has any basis. The 5070 is a 12 GB card, so AMD could have played the "we give you more VRAM" game. Unless the 9070 XT is priced closer to the 5070 Ti, which seems to be false by other rumours which predict ~$500. Also, a price adjustment would have been possible by offering retailers a partial refund for the cards they already have. There was nothing to catch AMD off guard, imo.

The contention is that AMD has burned retailers with its handling of such cashback payments in the past. I suppose there could be some friction with AIBs, too. Again, I don't know if the rumor is true, but it does fit the facts. Have you ever heard of a situation where there were widespread reports of retailers holding GPUs long before the products were even officially announced? Maybe I've been living under a rock, but this whole thing seems highly unusual to me. And it's well established that AMD can't help stepping on its own genitals, WRT to pricing strategy.

I agree that the situation is highly unusual, but none of the rumours make any more sense to me than the situation itself.

I've switched my brain into "wait for events to unfold" mode. We should be close enough to the actual launch anyway.

Edit: Or maybe the launch driver isn't ready yet.
