It is already in stock.

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

AMD's board partners flaunted their new Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 custom models at last week's CES trade event, but no one expected to see retail units pop up anytime soon after the concluded Las Vegas showcase. Earlier today, a brave soul uploaded compelling new evidence on Team Red's...

The problem, likely, is they were assuming 5070 beating 4070 Ti Super and costing a fortune, not a glorified 5050 for 550 bucks. So they're "reconsidering" their approach.

Nobody should buy a 7900XTX right now. It was obsolete the day it was released and is still obsolete two years later.

I almost pulled the trigger on a 6750XT the other day. Saw it listed NIB for $329.

Anything else that seems like a good value is out of stock. Everywhere.

Bots and scalpers will still scoop them all up and price us normies out. I work. I can't drive 2 hours to Microcenter to camp out at 4am.

Even with RDNA 4 out, the 7900 XTX will still be the top performing AMD card out there, also with 24 GB VRAM instead of 16. That hardly makes it obsolete.

I still wouldn't buy one right now. Maybe after the 9070 XT release when its price has (hopefully) dropped a little bit.

Not necessarily. It isn't Nvidia, demand isn't that high. I can't see AMD pulling an artificial shortage trick, either. They don't need to retain chips for a Super "refresh" after all.

On the aftermarket, it happens to be severely discounted so... might be a reasonable investment. Won't do it personally though, I already own an AMD GPU. Want a green one just for the diversity. And DLSS, yes.

Yeah and Nvidia said the 5080 is faster than the 4080, and it's only better by a few percent, so I'm not sure why anyone was waiting for that either. But hey, you do you.

4080 Fe vs 5080 Fe is 15% faster.

But because big OC headroom in 5080 its closer to 4090

Not everyone have 4080, ppls upgrade from 1000,2000 or from 3000 series to 5000 series.

You mean the 5070 beating the 4070 Super, as the 5070Ti is beating the 4070Ti Super, as the 5080 beating the 4080 Super, as the 5090 beating the 4090.

RX 9070 is beating the 4070 Super and the RX 9070XT is beating the 4070Ti Super.

9070XT will not outperform the 4080 Super!

Remember we are paying for old performance this round unfortunately thanks Nvidia and AMD.

Cheers

Jeez people, AMD has already told you how fast it is. Multiple times.

Thanks. I don't pay much attention to the marketing so I've never seen that.

Probably just gonna stick with the 3080 as it's still pretty fast.

A cheaper 7900 XT with better ray tracing wouldn't be awful at the right price.

These are known facts.

What I was talking about is, however, AMD's naïve expectations.
