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

[AusWolf]

This has always been my pet peeve. Nvidia releases something, everyone goes ape***t about how terrible it is, amd releases something that's 9.9% better and suddenly its the second coming of jesus. It does not compute, something that's 9% better than something disgusting is still disgusting.

Last 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.

I'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

I've read that the 5080 is actually a 5060ti in disguise (so it should cost 300, maybe 400$ MAX) so im going to judge the 9070xt as a 5060ti competitor. If it loses to a disguised 5060ti - and it costs 2 times 400$, this will be a disaster.

Let's be real though there were plenty of Nvidia fans who got all hot and bothered by the worst 5080 ever from a generational performance uplift.... It is the most cut down 5080 vs the flagship ever and I expect Nvidia to make the cards under the flagship less and less relevant over time.

I don't really care what either company wants to name their $#!+ what I look at is whatever cost a similar amount of money the previous generations and look at the % uplift. So if the 9070XT is 700 I will be looking at it vs the 7900GRE/7900XT/4070ti/4070 super becuase they were all ballpark in that price range at one point.

Naming is irrelevant to me anyways they could have called the 4090 a 4060 and priced it at 1700-1800 and I still would have bought it becuase performance uplift is king and always will be at least vs the previous generation.

Last night I saw a 7900xtx Hellhound sell for €885, used. They're like €1000 new. Even the used market is whack over here.

That's what happens when the market leader launched and all time shite generation at high prices.
