Are you talking about Nvidia? The last I checked, there was plenty of 9070 XT stock in stores, ready for a January launch.

I am thinking both at this point. The 7900XT/XTX etc is selling out. (The upper tier $ wise)

There is no such thing as coincidence, only well planned events to make it appear so.

The Uniko page has already changed, it now looks like the below - note how "2025 March 6" is now just "early March". Either this is an actual leak and AMD was unhappy about that and ordered it removed (although the URL still shows that date, LOL) or Uniko just made it up and got cold feet once the mouthbreathers at videocardz picked it up. And of course, now TPU loses credibility for reporting rumours from questionable sources as news - but this is something I've brought up before and management apparently cares more about clicks than reputation.

Is this even confirmed though, or just more scuttlebutt?

It should launch on the 6th of March that's a Thursday and I really hope I can get one if not AMD has fucked up stock like Nvidia did.

I want a Sapphire Pulse this time not needing a Nitro+ because I am not digging the Nitro+ design since their Sapphire Radeon RX 590 Nitro+ Special Edition I would have love Sapphire to kept the blue colour.

ALL the stars in the entire universe have aligned for AMD for this release . They would need to really struggle to fuk this up. The bar is veeery low this time all they need to do is suck less than Nvidia in pricing and value

If the 9070 XT is anywhere near in performance, then I'm not surprised. They're probably ramping down production of last-gen cards. At least they're not being scalped like Nvidia, as far as I'm aware.

I would agree, but we don't know what the Sapphire Pulse is gonna be like (they didn't bother showing it at CES). The PowerColor Reaper also looks decent, in my opinion. I'll be on the hunt for one of them myself.

Good, because right now the beaver buck is not doing so well.

I almost bought a 9800X3D.. but it is just about 800 polar pesos.

Just cant.. well I can, but I don't want to

I'm refusing to pay over a certain amount for a motherboard out of principle. We'll see how long that lasts...

Don't fall for their ploy people, you should be older and wiser by now and recognize their tactics. Yeah, the wait time sucks, but alas, what else can you do if you want to see normalcy restored? This whole thing actually makes me question how addictive gaming is? It's not looking good. Would explain a lot of other metrics in other areas we see today.

Maybe I should have stored my currently unused hardware in Jay Leno's garage

I love they keep the black design as the Pulse series is known for, I just hope I can buy a RX 9070 XT Pulse on launch day.

Ah! No wonder I missed it - I don't use Twitter, Twatter, or any social media other than Facebook. :ohwell:

That three-fan thing looks like a big chungus - exactly the kind of card I don't want to get.

I guess I'm gonna buy my first ever PowerColor card, then.

They also had it on IG and maybe FB I follow Sapphire to know what they are up to but their marketings department ain't really up to snuff every time xD

But I still follow them unlike Asus, Gigabyte and MSI, I follow other tech people that re-twit what they post so I am good.

If you feel so inclined please link the updated version of this when they start taking about RDNA 4

The Road to RDNA 4! A brief overview of RDNA 3!

They have smart looking SFF builds on their twitter

AC168 is still more to my liking though

To be fair, I don't really use Facebook, either. Only Messenger. Too much clutter. Me no likey.

I have passed this date onto my friend who is hanging out for this upgrade. For the love all that is holy AMD, PLEASE don't screw this up. I have a bunch of friends champing at the bit for a decent mid-range card not made by Nvidia and they will throw money at you if you price it right and it runs well.
