If you decided to hold off on Nvidia's Blackwell GPUs to see if AMD's new offerings were up to snuff, then you made the right choice. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT graphics cards are the new mid-range champions of this generation. Both cards offer phenomenal performance while undercutting their Nvidia competition in price. They go up for sale on March 6 starting at 6am PST. The Radeon RX 9070 starts at $550 and the 9070 XT starts at $600. Let's just hope that - unlike Nvidia - AMD has its supply under control.The jury's out as to whether or not inventory will hold, but given how well positioned these GPUs are in the stack, I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up selling out quickly. I've listed below the best places to pick up one of these cards. The current trend is that if you're set on purchasing a GPU at launch, you don't have the luxury of choosing your brand or model. If you see any in stock at a price you're happy with, buy now and think later.TLDR; This article assumes, not guarantees, there are actual graphics cards to purchase. You may stumble on this page and find out that every model at every retailer is sold out.Quick Links: Radeon RX 9070 / 9070 XT Graphics Card ListingsPowerColor Red Devil AMD Radeon RX 9070 Graphics Card$659.99 at AmazonAsus Prime AMD Radeon RX 9070 OC Edition Graphics Card$659.99 at AmazonXFX Quicksilver AMD Radeon RX 9070 OC Edition Graphics Card$669.99 at AmazonXFX Swift AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT White Graphics Card$759.99 at AmazonXFX Swift AMD Radeon RX 9070 OC White Graphics Card$699.99 at AmazonXFX Quicksilver AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT White Graphics Card$779.99 at AmazonXFX Quicksilver AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Graphics Card$769.99 at AmazonXFX Mercury AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT OC White Edition Graphics Card$819.99 at AmazonAsus TUF AMD Radeon RX 9070 OC Edition Graphics Card$709.99 at AmazonPowerColor Hellhound AMD Radeon RX 9070 Graphics Card$629.99 at AmazonPowercolor Hellhound AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Graphics Card$759.99 at AmazonPowerColor Red Devil AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Graphics Card$799.99 at AmazonGigabyte AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC Graphics Card$729.99 at AmazonAsus Prime Radeon AMD RX 9070 XT OC Edition Graphics Card$719.99 at AmazonXFX Swift AMD Radeon RX 9070 OC Graphics Card$549.99 at AmazonGigabyte AMD Radeon RX 9070 Gaming OC Graphics Card$669.99 at AmazonGigabyte Aorus AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Elite Graphics Card$759.99 at AmazonXFX Mercury AMD Radeon RX 9070XT OC Edition Graphics Card$819.99 at AmazonXFX Mercury AMD Radeon RX 9070XT OC Magnetic Air Edition Graphics Card$849.99 at AmazonAsus TUF AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT OC Edition Graphics Card$799.99 at AmazonGet the AMD Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT GPUs at Best BuySee it at Best BuyGet the AMD Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT GPUs at NeweggSee it at NeweggGet the AMD Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT GPUs on AmazonSee it at AmazonGet the AMD Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT GPUs at MicrocenterSee it at MicrocenterHow much will these new AMD GPUs cost?One of the main reasons why these new AMD cards are sure to be popular is the price to performance ratio. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 costs the same as the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 yet offers superior performance and more VRAM for the same price. Even more impressively, the Radeon RX 9070 XT trades blows with the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and costs $150 less. We'll see if these suggested retail prices hold, but if they do, the winner is a no-brainer.AMD Radeon RX 9070 - $550AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT - $600Where should I preorder these new AMD GPUs?The retailers below are your best chances to score one of the new AMD GPUs. Three of the retailers (Best Buy, Newegg, and Amazon) will have listings online. One retailer (Micro Center) will only carry them in-store. There's no way to tell exactly how many units are available at each retailer, however a Wccftech article claims that "AMD and AIBs are reportedly shipping more Radeon RX 9070 XTs than all Nvidia's RTX 50 series GPUs combined."If you want to maximize your chance of picking up one of the new AMD cards on launch day, your best bet is to check each and every retailer and buy the first card that lets you proceed all the way through checkout. Just remember that potentially thousands of other people will be clicking on the same link as you.AMD claims "wide" availability in this ad... let's hope that's trueAmazonGet the AMD Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT GPUs on AmazonSee it at AmazonPowerColor Red Devil AMD Radeon RX 9070 Graphics Card$659.99 at AmazonAsus Prime AMD Radeon RX 9070 OC Edition Graphics Card$659.99 at AmazonXFX Quicksilver AMD Radeon RX 9070 OC Edition Graphics Card$669.99 at AmazonXFX Swift AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT White Graphics Card$759.99 at AmazonXFX Swift AMD Radeon RX 9070 OC White Graphics Card$699.99 at AmazonXFX Quicksilver AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT White Graphics Card$779.99 at AmazonXFX Quicksilver AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Graphics Card$769.99 at AmazonXFX Mercury AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT OC White Edition Graphics Card$819.99 at AmazonAsus TUF AMD Radeon RX 9070 OC Edition Graphics Card$709.99 at AmazonPowerColor Hellhound AMD Radeon RX 9070 Graphics Card$629.99 at AmazonPowercolor Hellhound AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Graphics Card$759.99 at AmazonPowerColor Red Devil AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Graphics Card$799.99 at AmazonGigabyte AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC Graphics Card$729.99 at AmazonAsus Prime Radeon AMD RX 9070 XT OC Edition Graphics Card$719.99 at AmazonXFX Swift AMD Radeon RX 9070 OC Graphics Card$549.99 at AmazonGigabyte AMD Radeon RX 9070 Gaming OC Graphics Card$669.99 at AmazonGigabyte Aorus AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Elite Graphics Card$759.99 at AmazonXFX Mercury AMD Radeon RX 9070XT OC Edition Graphics Card$819.99 at AmazonXFX Mercury AMD Radeon RX 9070XT OC Magnetic Air Edition Graphics Card$849.99 at AmazonAsus TUF AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT OC Edition Graphics Card$799.99 at AmazonAmazon is the one-stop shop for just about everything, including AMD GPUs. Unfortunately, manually looking for one of these GPUs on Amazon's site is quite difficult. Amazon doesn't have a general page that lists all of the available video cards, and the search results are riddled with postings from marketplace vendors charging outrageous prices or, even worse, trying to swindle unsuspecting shoppers. To make things easier, I'll add specific GPU models when I see them available, but as a rule of thumb, make sure that the vendor you're buying from is "shipped and sold by Amazon".Best BuyGet the AMD Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT GPUs at Best BuySee it at Best BuyBased on past GPU launches, I suspect that one of your best chances of purchasing the new AMD graphics cards online will be at Best Buy. This retailer should carry every brand that will be available at launch, including Sapphire, XFX, Asus, Asrock, Gigabyte, and Powercolor.Best Buy's available inventory depends on your region; if you're fortunate enough to live in an area where graphics cards in general might not be in high demand, you'll have a much better chance of scoring a GPU here than anywhere else. Also important to note is that Best Buy GPU orders generally ship out quickly since they're either listed as in stock or out of stock (no "backorders" here). That means you'll likely receive your card in hand within a week.NeweggGet the AMD Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT GPUs at NeweggSee it at NeweggYou'll also definitely want to prioritize Newegg. Like Best Buy, Newegg is expected to carry every make and model of the Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT graphics cards. Newegg is an authorized reseller, so as long as you are buying from Newegg direct and not a marketplace vendor, you'll be eligible for the full manufacturer's warranty. Similar to Best Buy, orders usually ship out within the week, unless the product is backordered or out of stock.Even if the standalone cards are sold out, Newegg may sell these AMD GPUs as part of a bundle kit that includes any combination of a motherboard, CPU, RAM, or power supply. If you're working on a DIY computer build and haven't purchased all of your components, this might work to your advantage. These bundle offers do eventually sell out, but at a slower rate than the standalone cards.Micro Center (In-Store)Get the AMD Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT GPUs at MicrocenterSee it at MicrocenterWithout a doubt, Micro Center will be your best chance at getting an AMD GPU on launch day if you happen to live close by to a local store. Micro Center will most assuredly reserve all their GPU sales for in-store customers. Even if you are local, though, you should still get there as early as possible (ideally when the store opens).We reviewed both AMD graphics cardsWe rated the AMD Radeon RX 9070 an 8/10. It costs the same as the new Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 but it performs better in the majority of games we tested and also includes more VRAM (16GB vs 12GB), which should supposedly make it more futureproof. From our tests, it draws about the same amount of power as the RTX 5070.AMD Radeon RX 9070 Review by Jacqueline Thomas"The AMD Radeon RX 9070 is an excellent 1440p graphics card that makes the competition all but irrelevant. It brings excellent 1440p performance, often breaking into high-refresh territory, even without frame gen, and even brings an AI upscaler to the table for better image quality. The only thing that holds this graphics card back is how close it is to the Radeon RX 9070 XT."We rated the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT a "perfect" 10/10. Even though it costs $150 less than the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, the 9070 XT beats it out in several of the games we tested. In a few benchmarks, the results aren't even close. The 9070 XT also has 16GB of VRAM, the same as the 9070 and 5070 Ti. On the flip side, it does draw more power and get hotter on average compared to the RTX 5070 Ti. AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Review by Jacqueline Thomas"PC Gaming has been in a decadent spiral since 2020, and the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT is a reminder that it doesnt have to be that way. This graphics card has no problem maxing out any game you throw at it at 4K, even with ray tracing enabled, and does so at a price that makes the competition look downright greedy. I cant predict the future, so only time will tell if the launch price holds up. What I do know is we need more graphics cards like the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT."Eric Song is the IGN commerce manager in charge of finding the best gaming and tech deals every day.
