XFX & Acer Radeon RX 9060 XT Graphics Cards Leaked by Retailers - Starting at "$450"

[yfn_ratchet]

C'mon guys, huff some copium. Must be they're getting priced so harshly because AIBs/retailers expect these to be a breakout hit like the 9070 series, right? Right?

The price is horrendous and makes the siren song the 5060Ti belts out so much sweeter. Hope and pray to God that this isn't actual pricing across the stack.

 

[dartuil]

We all know that card wont beat 7700xt and 6800xt

 

[sethmatrix7]

AMD need to fail a bit harder. Maybe when they command 5% of the market they will start playing game.

Have you seen the 9070 and 9070 XT? They're sold out or the price has pushed way above MSRP.

I'm not sure you understand their objective- which is to sell graphics cards while making the most money possible. These cards, just like the 9070 and 9070 XT will sell out so fast only a few cards will be left- and their price will go above MSRP.

 

[Recus]

Ethical company milking sheeps.

 

[NSR]

There’s no way thats AMDs actual MSRP, or even close... unless they’ve officially lost the plot, the script, the entire roadmap to functional logic.

Yeah I'm suspecting placeholder prices got leaked like before. As much as AMD can make terrible decisions, this doesn't make sense even by their standards. Best case scenario it's an intentional leak to stir conversation and then announce something more reasonable (like with the 9070). Worst case scenario they price a 9060 XT only $25 below their 9070 GRE, lol.

 

[eidairaman1]

Mlid rumor had it at like 300-379, all i know is these wont sell well at 450

 

[JediMindTricks]

Common guys, I will sacrifice my first born if these prices will be MSRP.

There's no way the 8gb will be above $300, it's suicide. And the 16gb not above $380.

 

[mechtech]

If the 9070 has an MSRP of $549 and the xt $599, and I thought the 9070gre was supposed to be ~$500 or less?

I doubt the 9060xt will only be $100 less than the 9070.

 

[Dr. Dro]

Are those after the Trump tariffs or before, otherwise they can rot on shelves.

There were never any Trump tariffs involved. Tech got a blanket exemption -- and a "ceasefire" on the tariffs was reached today

8GB for $450, that too from the Red camp?

Told you guys. I'm not running defense for leather jacket man. The street prices on those cards is probably gonna be on this range even if MSRP isn't, considered you cannot get a 9070 XT for less than 800 these days.

[vantila]

450$ for an 8GB graphics card? Isn't that insane? It's okay if they have to raise prices because of tariffs. What's not okay is 8GB vram. 8GB is outrageous.

 

[Scattergrunt]

They shoot.. and they miss horribly. Oh AMD, got a little too confident with the 9070 / 9070XT now did ya..

Wonder if they're gonna do the "oh shit our prices suck at launch" strategy and drop the price so hard after launch despite the fact nobody is gonna be buying them by then lol.

There is a massive disconnect between the "messaging" and actual implementation on ground almost like Dumbfuckistan is being run by senior citizen with dementia.

Its the same story with 9070XTs across the globe so it seems like old habit of subsidizing US prices while overcharging rest of the world has lead to this situation. Only good thing to come out of this is in Asia people are avoiding these overpriced latest gen GPUs.

They got lucky with the 9070 series... This trash won't sell for 450$. The MSRP for 9070 is whack anyways nowhere near the promised price. Nvidia stock is already improving and pricing is dropping. AMD won't be able to run the GPU drought gravy train for much longer.

That doesn't mean tech companies, or even any company in general hasn't been using it an excuse to raise prices.

Told you guys. I'm not running defense for leather jacket man.

Sure. You were one of the people in the leather jacket club defending the 5060Ti. Like I've said many times the same people defending the 5060Ti are already crapping on the 9060XT for "leaked" prices. Even if the prices are true the 5060ti isn't any cheaper, but people want AMD to be a charity in hopes of Ngreedia lowering their prices so they can buy the green box anyway.

 

[PierreJG]

I really don't know why companies still make 8gb gpus a d also the price is ridiculous. This may he because of Trump. I will wait and see what South African prices going to be. They most probably gonna follow USA and overcharge us. BTW... my brother has an 8gb gpu. Even on low settings there are minor stutter in starfield meaning 8gb is not enough for the latest AAA games.

I'd say that's overly pessimistic, especially if you're expecting that for the 8GB model. The 5060 Ti 8GB isn't exactly hard to find at ~$420 currently, and I don't expect the 9060 XT 8GB to have any sort of edge over that card to command a $30 price premium.

In EU it's below 399 for weeks now. Currently you can get one, on stock for 389

It doesnt need to have an edge, it's the brand. Lots of people avoid buying nvidia, and since stock is going to be limited amd might as well decide to overcharge these fellows.

I still find them here in midwest US for about ~450 USD. Still no stock out here either.

Don't know about "lots"; I think the average person has stopped buying PC parts for building / replacing a part in their computer ages ago. Almost all my friends, associate, so what have you, get prebuilts now, so most of these problems dont even really effect them directly, especially among xx50 and xx60 class cards, where NVIDIA doesnt struggle usually as often in regards to stock. I mean hell, the 4060 had LOTS of stock during almost all of the 40 series. Literally couldn't escape it.

As for enthuasists, we are definitely a vocal minority. NVIDIA's marketshare isnt gonna shrink too much next quarter report I bet, but have a healthy chunk taken by AMD. I predict NVIDIA will be at 86% maybe, random bullshit guesstimation there. if AMD can somehow claw back 5% or more that'll be pretty insane. But we should not forget that this is just dGPU market share.

In the US the cheapest 5060Ti 8GB is $419, and the cheapest 16GB version is $499.

It does need to have an edge because it isn't Nvidia.
And I'm sure some people are avoiding Nvidia, which they should be given all the issues with drivers, but only the enthusiasts keeping up with the news are going to be avoiding Nvidia cards.
The average person is going to be buying a pre-built gaming PC, a majority of pre-builts are probably going to have a 5060 or 5060Ti.

Nah it doesn't. Lots of people bought 9070xt which is basically a 4070ti super a year later. They bought it just because it's amd, else they would have bought a 4070ti s last year.

AMD sells the brand. Nvidia sells the "it just works", that's why net Cafes, prebuilts etc are using it. They don't want to deal with the increased costs of support for silly driver situations. Yes you'll keep going about the 5xxx drivers, but a single bad launch doesn't change the overall picture.

 

[Grebber01]

LOL 520$ and weaker than 5060ti 16GB... not even released yet but this card is already dead

Actually the 9070 price stabilized a bit and is slightly lower than lauch one. At least where I live.

 

[AVATARAT]

I can't understand what the problem is.
Open the shops, look for the best value for money card you can/want to buy - done.
If Nvidia and AMD can't offer something good - Intel cards are good too.

 

[Quicks]

AMD actually not good value for money.

Fake MSRP: AMD's Radeon 9070 XT $600 Launch Price Was a Fantasy

Two months after launch, the Radeon RX 9070 XT is still nowhere near its advertised $600 price. With global supply stabilizing, it's time to examine the real...

Yes and no.

I was one of those people waiting on a 4070 Ti Super (at the time easily the best mid-range 16GB card with good RT and upscaling). Problem is it never dropped in price.

By the time the 9070 cards released, waiting on the 4070 Ti Super to become cheaper no longer made any sense. Especially with no new models available so I'd have to buy used for the same price I can buy a new 9070.

If I go to ebay right now, I still can't get a used 4070 Ti Super at a cheaper price than I can get a new 9070. These cards have the exact same raw perf and aren't so different in RT and upscaling (not to the degree that would justify paying the NVIDA premium). There's just no reason to buy the 4070 Ti Super unless you plan on using cuda for AI work.
