- Some world retailers have confirmed the RX 9070 timed MSRP
- It is claimed that only the first lot of selected models will be available for $ 549
- Once sold, the new prices could coincide (or narrow) that of RX 9070 XT
It is the release day of the AMD RDNA 4 graphics cards, with RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT stores now available on store shelves. However, as some online retailers have already mentioned, the respective MSRP of the first ($ 549) can only be applied to the initial lot of the GPUs sold, with a future offer to see a potential price increase.
As seen by Videocardz, it is alleged that RX 9070 will only be sold in its MSRP of $ 549 for a limited time, since AMD partners can establish their prices. Swedish retailer.
The retailer explained how his AGD RX 9070 actions will depend on the manufacturer from sending the different cards, describing that with “Sapphire and Asus it will be usual”, since you can buy the GPUs in MSRP until they are exhausted. However, he also said it will be different with PowerColor. “Our second PowerColor shipping is already waiting, and we cannot do it at MSRP prices.”
To clarify, he says that he will sell the first PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 card race that he has in stock until they are exhausted, and then increases prices when orders for the second lot are made. “If you receive an order with the MSRP price even though the cards are exhausted, of course, we will give that price, but unfortunately we have no way to continue selling cards in MSRP after the first deliveries are exhausted.”
This is a problem that seems to affect possible buyers in the United Kingdom as well. Andrew Gibson, purchasing manager for Overclockers UK, spoke about the limited amount of RX 9070 shares in MSRP of the retailer. He explained that the retailer had around 5,000 cards in total Sapphire (2,000), PowerColor (1,000) and Asrock (1,000), but that “MSRP has a limited amount of a few hundred, so prices will jump once they are sold.”
It is believed that only four different variants of the AMD RX 9070 will be available for its MSRP price: PowerColor Reaper, Sapphire Pulse, Asus Prime and XFX Swift, at least for the initial shipping window, as described in Sweden and the United Kingdom. There is the possibility that things can be extended in the United States; However, there is also no guarantee that the prices you will see today (and in the next few days) will be as low as what could come shortly if it does not squeeze the early trigger.
A key in process for the RDNA Budget Interpreter
Today early, we praise the fact that many retailers were (apparently) rinsed with options for the RX 9070 XT stock the release day, something we cannot say for the sad state of the NVIDIA RTX 50 series in contrast. However, although availability does not seem tarnished in the same way, the fact that the aggressive initial price of $ 549 seems so ephemeral is disappointing, given the general value proposal.
As it is, RX 9070 is only $ 50 cheaper than the flagship (current) RDNA 4, RX 9070 XT, which is available for $ 599. However, if you cannot ensure a model without ex for its recommended retail price, then the general point of the card in front of your brother seems debatable compared. While stocks fly from the shelves (many of the MSRP models mentioned above are no longer available), it is asked to pay additional to obtain one in its place, which is far from ideal.
As such, what is the point of RX 9070 if you will have to spend the same money (or more) than buy 9070 XT RX? The latter seems more available with retailers such as Best Buy, Newgg, B&H and Micro Center that have stocks compared. To try to avoid disappointments, we recommend keeping up with our tracker of dedicated Actions RX 9070 and RX 9070 regularly updated.
