We’re nonetheless a number of weeks away from the anticipated AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT on sale date, with most retailers at finest itemizing the playing cards as accessible for pre-order and most nonetheless not exhibiting the playing cards in any respect. Nevertheless, one Danish retailer has pulled the set off, itemizing the playing cards as absolutely accessible with “shipped similar enterprise day” supply.
There may be at the very least one main downside with this itemizing, although. Placing apart that the retailer will seemingly not in actual fact honor the sale thus far forward of the cardboard’s official launch, there’s additionally the truth that the retailer is asking $1,284 for the cardboard. AMD‘s newest could effectively stand an ideal likelihood of turning into the brand new finest graphics card for the mid-range sector however that’s provided that it prices lower than half that value.
The retailer in query is named Foniks (fcomputer.dk), which is a website that sells a variety of gaming PC {hardware}, together with upcoming RTX 5000 sequence playing cards. Nevertheless, whereas the the likes of the RTX 5090 have a neat little message saying “NOTE: Merchandise are anticipated to be in inventory from January 30, 2025,” this degree of warning doesn’t seem to have been utilized to its new AMD GPU listings. The itemizing was authentic noticed by X (previously Twitter) person @momomo_us who posted a screenshot of the itemizing.
The particular playing cards in query are each Gigabyte fashions of the RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT. Outfitted with 16G of VRAM and a triple-fan cooler, these playing cards look each bit like the handfuls of 9070 XT playing cards we noticed on the present ground at CES 2025, the place the playing cards had been introduced.
Whereas the RX 9070 XT is listed at 9,299DKK ($1,284), the RX 9070 is slightly cheaper, but it surely’s nonetheless far too costly for in comparison with what we anticipate the cardboard to price. It’s nonetheless listed at 7,599DKK, which works out to be round $1,048.
We went to the positioning and acquired so far as including the cardboard to our cart and seeing in our basket prepared for fee, although didn’t undergo with the acquisition at this inflated value. If you wish to pay over the percentages and presumably get an RX 9070 XT early, although, the choice is seemingly there, if the corporate will ship to you.
For the remainder of us, we’d advocate holding on for just some extra weeks with the intention to get a pre-order in at a wise value. And whilst you’re ready you possibly can try one of many key options that can be coming with these playing cards, which is the corporate’s newest FSR 4 upscaling tech. Our FSR 4 palms on expertise has us completely satisfied it is going to supply an enormous enchancment in picture high quality in comparison with FSR 3, although the extent of its body fee boosting energy is but to be seen.
