AMD Radeon RX 9070-series Pricing Leaks Courtesy of MicroCenter

This is like a thought experiment at this point, it was consensual that at 600/700$ these cards would flop hard, that these prices were too high. Now we see people accepting basically a 700$ price tag for what is essentially a 4080. The 4080 should have cost no more than 700 almost 3 years ago. This is insane.

Don't worry for 700$ msrp it will fail hard! From 90/10 to 95/5

AMD - Creating new ways to fail - every single day!

_roman_ · 2025-02-27T09:12:00+0000

That stuff will sell. Most are not amd customers anyway who write about high prices.

Higher prices equal higher prices for used graphic cards. WIN - WIN.

idk, if history tells us anything, doing that AMD will probably close this gen with 5% market share or less, and the 6070ti will cost a cool 2000$ MSRP. AMD will proceed to launch a 10070xt for 1900$. Not sure why I should expect things go any different this time around.

What's the saying... Doing the same thing and expecting different results.... is the smart thing to do? no it can't be it.

Carlyle2020hs · 2025-02-27T09:49:49+0000

They still will sell,

and that´s kinda bad for us (and AMD) long term?!

market share - measly, trending downwards before and i don´t see how that can change with those prices in the future
mindshare - almost lost?

I would have bought one for 550 just to stick it to - you know who

But at those prices : long live the green king i suppose :shadedshu:

A lot depends on the performance and availability. If AMD succeeds there, that's a half win. Not meant to disagree with you, though.

i don't think the 9070xt will be better in raster or RT than a almost 3 year old 4080 and that's the reality we have here. If the pricing is insane for Nvidia we have to use the same logic for AMD.
Wouldn't it be normal for a 5060 to match closely the 4080 and for pricing to reflect a 60 class card? we must continue the logic for AMD.

So why are prices from your shop relevant?

My prices "from my shop" are relevant to "maybe it is $700" discussion, are they not?

PS
What is there between you and Jensen Huang? I hope it is monetary.

I'd hope it would be monetary.

The prices from your shop are irrelevant cause the 9070xt from your shop might be 1k or 1.5k. It's a totally irrelevant comparison. Stop being obtuse man.

We are in a thread about upcoming 9070XT prices.
It is in the title, you know?

Now "but maybe real prices will be even higher". Sure they may.

But assuming they are like in OP, when comparing to 5070Ti pricing, we should remember "pricing in my shop" and not another portion of unhinged nonsense from creators of "8k gaming on 3090" and "5070 = 4090", mkay?

Let me repeat "my prices" from "my shop":

"my shop" (the most powerful price search in Germany)

Carlyle2020hs said:
market share... measly

You mean the CPU market share? Yeah.

With all the Intel fockups and even CPU shortages, all AMD got past Buldozer times is... 12% of the market share.

Carlyle2020hs said:
trending downwards

Oh, is it?
Did you mean "negative downwards" which would be upwards, perhaps?

See that spike on the left? NV was at 82%, AMD at 11.5%, that was some time in 2023.
In 2025 NV is at 75.5%, AMD at 16.4%. (not that different from CPU split)

Steam Hardware & Software Survey

"And your point is?"

1) Your statements about market share are 100% bazinga that has 0% to do with reality
2) Market share is obviously controlled by "something else", which, rather obviously, is the (strongarmed) OEMs.

Dimitriman · 2025-02-27T13:58:47+0000

US has a bit stronger focus on MSRP pricing. Here in the Netherlands we get scalped by the shops all the time. I have ZERO expectation that anyone will be able to get a 9070XT at reference price for a long time. Right now the 5070ti is being sold by ALL shops for 1300+ Euro. But hey, at least "you can buy one".

So you are saying it's not infinitely more reasonable to compare microcenters 9070xt leaked prices to microcenters 5070ti prices, but instead you wanna compare microcenters price to geizhals even though they don't have any prices for the 9070xt yet. Yeap, makes sense. Kudos.

Exactly. How in the world he thinks it makes sense to compare EU pricing with us microcenter....

Oh. What are those?

And are those normal 5070Ti, or normal "less ROPs" 5070Tis?

AusWolf said:
Yep. And if you, or I want a x70-class GPU, what are we gonna buy? The expensive AMD one, or the even more expensive Nvidia one?

Or we'll just keep playing old classics on our old GPUs until sanity comes back to the IT industry, which I also don't find a totally terrible option.

That's the problem... Nvidia sets the market amd follows.

Now we are getting what should be a 7800XT replacment for a lot more money.

Maybe the truth is in 2025 this is the best they can do and still make a profit maybe it's not either way gamers still lose.

You are totally wrong!

AMD RX 9070 XT is DOA (At This Price)

Intriguing. Am I wrong because you desire a cheaper product, or because I said that if AMD releases a competent product, they are going to get a slice of the pie regardless of it being hyper affordable or not?

Exactly, I'm hoping for a good enough MSRP so that my retailers' scalped price won't be an actual new born, just a couple of bloodbags instead...
French prices of the 5070Ti really are not encouraging in regards to the 70XT's street price...
