In an interesting turn of events, AMD’s Radeon RX 9070 graphics cards have made a surprise appearance on a Spanish retailer’s site, shedding light on some of the specifications for these highly anticipated GPUs.
As AMD gears up for the big reveal of their RDNA 4 graphics cards, retailers everywhere are preparing for what promises to be a game-changing release. One such retailer, NeoByte in Spain, seems to have jumped the gun, listing three variations of the Radeon RX 9070, including the XT and the standard models. These listings feature prominent models like the Gigabyte AORUS as well as the basic versions. However, there’s a bit of a sticker shock involved, which we’ll delve into shortly.
The prices shared by NeoByte are raising eyebrows: the Gigabyte AORUS Radeon RX 9070 XT is listed at a hefty €1,119.99, while other versions, including the Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT and its non-XT sibling, are marked at €1,069.99 and €889.99, respectively. It’s crucial to point out that these numbers are probably placeholder amounts set by the retailer, as we expect the official MSRP to be far more reasonable, likely within the $300 to $1,000 bracket. Despite the questionable pricing, these listings do provide some confirmation of the specs and earlier speculations about the RX 9070 cards. You can check out the listings for more details.
Adding to the excitement, another retailer, Netcodex from the Philippines, has posted information about a Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16GB card, priced at approximately $530. This figure potentially aligns more closely with the expected launch pricing. AMD’s Frank Azor recently hinted in an interview that the RX 9070 would hit the market in the $300-$1,000 price range. With AMD positioning these cards as direct competitors to NVIDIA’s 70 and 80-series GPUs, we might see an aggressive pricing strategy aimed at capturing the mainstream market.
The competition in the mainstream GPU sector is set to reach new heights with rivals like NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel all vying to deliver the best value to users. For gamers and tech enthusiasts alike, the months ahead promise to bring a lot of excitement and possibly some great deals.
