Sure enough, AMDs exciting Radeon 9070 and 9070 XT graphic card prices, quoted at $550/$600, are looking too good to be true. Newegg, Overclockers UK, and even Micro Center are among the outlets that have now quietly raised the prices on the supposedly entry-level MSRP models of these graphics cards by $50-$130. Last Thursday, AMD wouldnt deny reports that its partners are explicitly allowed to rapidly increase those prices beyond MSRP, and a week later, thats already coming to pass.While its true that board partners like ASRock, Gigabyte, PowerColor, Sapphire, and XFX generally charge more for cards with fancier cooling solutions, those arent the cards were talking about today. Weve been tracking prices on ten specific models of the AMD 9070 and AMD 9070 XT that were originally introduced at their $550 and $600 MSRPs.None of those cards are currently in stock at any retailer weve checked but some retailers have already modified their pricetags ahead of new shipments. Here are the changes weve seen:AMD Radeon 9070 XTNewegg now lists PowerColors 9070 XT Reaper at $700, a $100 jumpNewegg now lists XFXs 9070 XT Swift at at $730, a $130 jumpNewegg now lists ASRocks 9070 XT Steel Legend at $670, a $70 jumpOCUK now lists PowerColors 9070 XT Reaper and Sapphire Pulse 9070 XT at 650, an 80 jumpOCUK now lists ASRocks 9070 XT Steel Legend at 669, a 99 jumpAMD Radeon 9070Micro Center now lists XFXs 9070 Swift OC at $630, an $80 jumpMicro Center now lists Gigabytes 9070 Gaming OC at $670, a $130 jumpOCUK now lists PowerColors 9070 Reaper at 570, a 40 jumpOCUK now lists Sapphires Pulse 9070 at 570, a 40 jumpNot every retailer has changed out the pricetags on every card. Best Buy, which only listed a single model of the 9070 and 9070 XT at MSRP to begin with, hasnt changed those prices yet though theyre admittedly still out of stock. Micro Center also still lists three models of 9070 and four model 9070 XT at MSRP, though all are out of stock.On the Nvidia front, there doesnt seem to be much retailer/board partner scalping going on yet, at least at major US retailers. Were tracking six different models of $550 RTX 5070, three different models of $750 RTX 5070 Ti, and three different models of $1,000 RTX 5080 which were originally listed at MSRP prices. Best Buy, Newegg, and Micro Center are still listing the ones they stock at MSRP today.Last week, AMD told us that we expect cards to be available from multiple vendors at $549 / $599, and that more cards are coming. AMD did not say which board partners or retailers would agree to offer cards at those prices, or how few those partners would need to sell at those prices before charging more.See More:
