The AMD Radeon RX 9070 will be available for under $700 when the RDNA 4 GPU launches early next month, according to what has been alleged to be an official marketing slide from AMD. From a report:
As for the more powerful variant, the Radeon RX 9070 XT will cost up to $950, if an image that was supposedly taken at Best Buy and shared on reddit is to be believed:
News of the Radeon RX 9070 Series’ alleged pricing comes on the heels of a new admission from NVIDIA, one that can confirm the GeForce RTX 5090, RTX 5090D, and RTX 5070 Ti aren’t the only “Blackwell” GPUs missing ROPs (render output units) and a slight amount of their advertised performance—but the GeForce RTX 5080 as well.
“Upon further investigation, we’ve identified that an early production build of GeForce RTX 5080 GPUs were also affected by the same issue. Affected consumers can contact the board manufacturer for a replacement,” NVIDIA GeForce global PR director Ben Berraondo told a publication today.
“No other NVIDIA GPUs have been affected,” he added, implying that the GeForce RTX 5070 isn’t affected. “The production anomaly has been corrected.”
“NVIDIA was not aware of these issues before it launched these GPUs,” the publication noted in its coverage.

Join Discussion →Nvidia clearly rushed the market and I'm honestly not sure why. Is the pressure expected from AMD THAT much for a market Nvidia isn't supposed to care about?
Anything over $549 (it really shouldn't be over $499) for the 9070XT is a hard pass for me. It looks like AMD is going to give up another chance to take it to Nvidia. They didn't have any problem with taking it to Intel. Could there be some kind of collusion going on between AMD and Nvidia?
Well it all comes down to performance.
I think it may blow the 5070 ( and variants) away. I suspect after announcing they are not even trying for top contender AMD might haved used their brains and decided an attack on the real bread and butter, and that is the 5070 arena.
I think they will put to the test the nvidia can lower prices anytime theory.
Well I hope anyway.
They better be sitting on piles of inventory. Otherwise it doesn't matter what they price them at if no one can buy one.
I expect online stocks to be scalped severely
However if you can drive down to physical stores (like micro center) then there should be sufficient stock
I don't have hopes if using 6000 and 7000 series launches as a litmus test. They were both "paper" launches and inventory was non-existent for months after launch.
Just pretend the launch is 6 months after the official date and you'll be happy and free from early adopter woes.
So sad and so very true!
