Recently, AMD’s Radeon RX 9070 GPUs made their online debut through a Spanish retailer, unveiling some juicy details about their specs and AIB models, or at least giving us a sneak peek.
As AMD’s RDNA 4 GPUs edge closer to their official launch, it’s only natural that retailers begin preparing for the buzz. Spanish retailer NeoByte has jumped the gun by listing three versions of the Radeon RX 9070 XT and its regular version, including models like the Gigabyte AORUS. But hold on a second—the prices they’re listing are somewhat mind-boggling, something that needs a deeper dive.
Here’s where it gets interesting. The Gigabyte AORUS Radeon RX 9070 XT is shockingly priced at €1,119.99. Meanwhile, the standard Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT is pegged at €1,069.99, and the non-XT version at €889.99. Now, before these numbers give you a heart attack, remember that these aren’t likely the final prices. They’re more like placeholder numbers from NeoByte, as expectations are set for a more reasonable MSRP, ideally spanning the $300 to $1,000 range. These listings, though, have confirmed some of the early buzz around the RX 9070’s specs.
Additionally, a retailer from the Philippines, Netcodex, listed a Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16GB card priced roughly around $530. That’s a hint at what we might see when these cards officially hit the market. AMD’s Frank Azor, in a recent chat, mentioned that the RX 9070 series would sit in the $300 to $1,000 price bracket. Since these cards are squaring up against NVIDIA’s 70- and 80-class GPUs, we should expect AMD to set a competitive price point to shake up the mainstream sector.
This coming clash in the mainstream GPU segment is set to be a spectacle, with NVIDIA, AMD, and even Intel battling it out to win over consumers. For gaming enthusiasts, this means a thrilling time ahead as they await which company offers the most bang for their buck.
