Also from MLID about EU
Yeah - I warned y'all that specifically in the EU it sounded bad. The good news is AMD's seemingly going to keep manufacturing & shipping tons of cards. The bad news is that Nvidia sounds completely AFK for at least the next month or two...so prices will remain above MSRP....

lol that was probably the whole stock available in canada for the rtx 5000 launch

Cunt tactics all around. AMD knew this going into the announcement and it is disgusting.

I ordered a card within 5 minutes of them going up on newegg and a few minutes later received an e-mail that the order was cancelled.

Modern PC gaming is full of fun times. Guess ill stick with my 3070Ti for now.

Wow so clearly if they had went ahead with CES show unveil it would have costed a lot more than $599.

Fictional MSRP. First time I see the temporary MSRP tactic to be honest. Shady as fuck.

They almost did it also for RDNA 2 which the reference card was pretty much the only one at MSRP and they wanted to stop production. Now they're just saying that this was a bonus for early buyers and prices are going up soon.

I'm so fed up with GPU prices. If this fucking AI bubble can burst by switching to some quantum CPU or something, for the love of god, bring back gaming GPUs.

Yea I have been on zero sleep to be up for the 6am launch and am surly as fuck, couple that with the only friend to land a purchase submission got an email cancelling the order. I am dead sure these cards never had an online $599 presence. Right there at 6am and the webpages refresh to sold out with a single F5 is bullshit. They're just now double dipping the rebate coupon and the hiked up street price. I hope AMD demands receipts of this shit.

I'd assuming they wasn't ready for RTX 5070ti price. In half year Prices will be normal

This Bot AI scalping scam isn’t going to stop until consumers stop buying them at marked up pricing.

Manufacturers won’t stop it bc it justifies further msrp increases

Retailers do not care bc they just want units sold

 

[CLW]

I was just mentioning in the other thread how Micro Center is a haven for this stuff. No online orders means scalpers have no power here

Yeah if ONLY there was one within FOUR HOURS of my home and I live in a fairly large metro area of 1.5 million people

 

[Boss Mog]

The non-XT 9070 actually looks like a real winner. 9-12% slower than the XT but with close to 30% less power draw. AMD actually made an efficient GPU.

It means they expected 5070 Ti prices to be higher? wow

 

[SolidQ]

It means they expected 5070 Ti prices to be higher?

Yeah
They also expected BlackWell will have much higher perf, that why they cancel top Sku's

UnderVolt + 9070nonXT

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

The "comp. Value" on that card is a fucking travesty, especially running "a deal" on a newly released product.

Whoopsie...(this am and this pm)!

Damn it. Didn't mean to quote myself.

"comparable value" the "comparable value" you took away and sold for 1200 dollars you frauds!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SoloCamo]

This will be the card that will make me retire my 6900XT. 4k performance being it's sweet spot is perfect for me on a 4k60hz setup. Will be nice to have the newer features too. Was going to get a 7900XTX but I missed the boat at launch and held onto the 6900XT. With a tuned memory 11900k I'll probably ride the combo out for a few more years.

 

[Gaiff]

I'm so torn as to whether the 9070XT would be the right purchase to replace my 3080. I'm gonna hold out for a bit I think, but path tracing at 60+FPS seems great if some of the other settings are lowered. It really feels like the GPU upgrades are much smaller gen on gen for the last few years. I wonder whether this will be the case moving forward now...

If PT at 60fps is your objective, I wouldn’t bother with the 9070 XT.

 

[Nankatsu]

Cunt tactics all around. AMD knew this going into the announcement and it is disgusting.

So basically retailers are limiting early stock (since they bought them at a higher price) until AMD lifts the MSRP good guys policy, allowing them to sell the cards at a higher price in a short future?

This is clever way to fuck over Nvidia, but considering it fucks the consumer in the process too...

Reviews are pretty high, 10/10 from IGN

Radeon RX 9070 XT review

We review the Radeon RX 9070 XT (ASUS TUF OC). The most striking improvement lies in the number of AI and ray tracing (RT) accelerators, which have seen a noticeable boost compared to previous generations. The RX 9070 XT packs 64 RDNA 4 compute units, 64 RT accelerators, and 128 AI accelerators.

AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Review: Best Bang for Buck at 4K

At $600, AMD's Radeon RX 9070 XT is just where it needs to be to compete for 4K gaming against the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti.

gizmodo.com

Lisa Su is obviously farming the rx 9080xt strategically, they want a bad ass release for it to change the equation.
