Early listings for these playing cards at Micro Middle present costs beginning at $649.99 for the RX 9070 and $699 for the 9070 XT, however going as excessive as $1,100, effectively above what we’d count on these playing cards to price.
The decrease finish of the size, if confirmed, would place the most cost effective of those AMD gaming GPUs between two of the brand new Nvidia mid-tier playing cards, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti, with the potential for them to nonetheless be among the many finest graphics playing cards for on a regular basis avid gamers. The upper finish, nevertheless, would depart these playing cards costing greater than the extra highly effective RTX 5080, leaving some hope that this pricing knowledge won’t be completely correct.
Tech retailer Micro Middle momentarily listed these AMD GPUs earlier than taking them down, however not earlier than Videocardz captured them. In line with Videocardz, two RX 9070 non-XT playing cards have been listed, costing from $649.99 for an ASRock card, as much as a impossible $1,099 for a PowerColor mannequin.
A number of extra RX 9070 XT playing cards have been listed, nevertheless. The most affordable card was one other ASRock card for $699.99, however going as excessive as $1,100 for one more PowerColor card. The entire playing cards have been proven with a February 28 availability date, matching the date that AMD is predicted to formally unveil each playing cards.
Contemplating that leaked RX 9070 XT specs place it alongside Nvidia’s RTX 5070 Ti, pricing on the larger finish, particularly when in comparison with the extra highly effective $999 RTX 5080, would make these playing cards an uncompetitive choice for avid gamers.
The probably risk is that that is simply placeholder knowledge that was by accident revealed (and shortly eliminated) forward of the official launch.

We’ll be crossing our fingers that the actual pricing for each playing cards is nearer to $600 than $1,100, nevertheless.
