We are currently living in turbulent times, that is certain. Numerous listings for AMD's RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT GPUs have already been seen, with both expected to be available for purchase early next month. These listings suggest that AMD's offerings may provide good value compared to NVIDIA's RTX 5070 family, based on leaks and rumors. Recently, @momomo_us discovered that Amazon briefly had a selection of XFX RX 9070 and 9070 XT cards available for purchase. The prices for these cards are as follows:
- XFX Swift AMD Radeon RX 9070 OC - $649.99
- XFX Swift AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT - $749.99
- XFX Quicksilver AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT - $769.99
- XFX Mercury AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT OC - $819.99
- XFX Mercury AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT OC Magnetic Air Edition - $849.99
As anticipated from previous rumors, the RX 9070 is priced at $650, while the RX 9070 XT is $100 more expensive. However, things became more interesting when a Sapphire Nitro+ RX 9070 XT appeared on Amazon CA, and a curious Redditor was able to purchase it. This triple-slot, triple-fan card was priced at a staggering $1,365 CAD, or approximately $962 USD - a price that seems excessive for the card's expected performance. It is likely that the listing was not supposed to be live before the official release, which was initially planned for late January but has now been postponed to early March. It is probable that the Redditor's order will be cancelled, or possibly shipped after the official release date.
