I don't have any loyalty I have set budget , how much is 5070ti even at MSRP ? And the 5070 is not looking good and it has 12gb so what's left ?
AMD is more likely to get to my budget if not I'll just wait and continue with my current card

The link you sent has the none xt at $1099,99 and XT at $699 it's all over the place

 

[Gibbo]

Please tell me you have nitro cards ? For some reason you didn't stock them for GRE and I had to go elsewhere.

We will have Nitro's, Pure's, Pulses, Devils, Hellhounds, Reapers, Gamings, Phantoms, Taichi's, Primes, TUF's, Masters, Challengers, Legends, Elites, the whole range and plenty.

"If the MSRP is viable" = we will be the most expensive in the UK

I think like the rest of us he's talking about AMD's MSRP, he doesn't know yet.

 

[uscool]

Would seem stock is good

Remember the days when we thought £600 was too much for a card ?
..... Then came £1000
..... Now it's £2000

Keep waiting

Well we might only have 1pc of each or we could have 1000 of each or somewhere in between.

Waiting for what ? We don't even know the prices yet

The cards we ready to be sold shortly after CES but Nvidia's pricing of their 5070 threw them off and so they had to force stores to sit back and wait as they adjusted their pricing. As such, stock should have been slowly stacking up and so you're going to see the complete opposite, in some ways, to the 5090 and 5080 launch.

These chips are only 355mm, AMD were selling the gre at $550 and that's 525mm, They can easily price the xt below $600, if they don't they are full of **** regarding getting radeon more share.

 

[Thekwango]

It states placeholder?

oh don't let that get in the way of folks wanting to rage post. it could have stated - we have made these prices up, we asked Delores in the canteen to pick some random numbers, so please ignore - and you can be guaranteed some one would still post it so they can screech about pricing. really don't know why at this late stage folk don't just give over on guessing the pricing and wait the 2 more days till we know for certain - then rage if rage is needed.

Inflation plays a role in that too, Inflation Jan 2022 vs Jan 2025 is 12%, so a GPU costing £500 in 2022 would cost £560 today, that's just 3 years, over 5 years its 25%, so that £500 GPU in 2020 would cost £625 today.

That's our government printing money and spending it, politics aside the more money the government prints to weaker the pound in your pocket and with that the more expensive things get, because the more pounds in the system the weaker those pounds get so you need more of them to create the same value.

AMD this time won't be selling their cards so I wouldn't be sure they will even mention MSRP (as Nvidia doesn't do that) and it will be whatever AIB want it to be. MSRP said clearly would definitely help to at least put pressure on AIBs.

MicroCenter lists Radeon RX 9070 series: RX 9070 XT starting at $699, RX 9070 at $649

I might try and head over to my local MC on launch day to see what the vibe is like (never done that before, assume it could be a circus ).

Just remember the 5070ti is really a 5060ti so the 9070XT is a 60ti class competitor card.

If the 9070 is that close to the 5080 (raster), then I can see the cards trading punches in games that favor AMD; and that does make it a true 70 class card, since that's what the 5080 actually is.

... if the MSRP is viable for volume sales, we will hit it.

Any reason to suspect why it wouldn't be? I assume it's set to take into account AIB, distributor, and retailer margins. So the only reason to go above RRP would be if your target % margin is higher, I guess? Is that what happened with OcUK pricing on the NV 5000 series?

(Not expecting answers, but these are interesting questions to ask )

o'rly ?

AMD Radeon RX 9070 pricing on MicroCetner Are we getting closer to final pricing for the AMD Radeon RX 9070 series? Perhaps, perhaps we are looking at placeholders that have not been confirmed by AMD or any board partner. There’s no doubt that some of these prices are not final. There’s no way...

Only $50 difference between standard and XT would be interesting. Lake suggest there's a bit bigger gap between them than $50 - I expected $100.

 

[Poneros]

I find these price "leaks" quite difficult to believe because:

1. Based on benchmark leaks, the price difference between the 9070 and 9070 XT can't be much more than $100 without the XT looking like poor value.

2. While the 9070 is likely to outperform the 5070, the performance gap won't be vast, so that card surely has to be priced close to the 5070?

I may be wrong. But anything more than $699 for the 9070 XT doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I bet we wind up at $499 and $599 by the end of the year whatever happens

6800 XT ($649) & 6800 ($579) part two.

 

[humbug]

You're assuming the 5070 actually will be $550, going from Nvidia's recent history it wont.

I think it's going to be interesting ... @Gibbo reckons he has a lot of stock to shift so you boys may get your cheap cards afterall

 

[Sumanji]

AMD were selling the gre at $550 and that's 525mm.

Not apple to apples at all.

Firstly, ~40% of that die area was on the older N6 process, so a fair bit cheaper. Secondly, the main die was ~80% disabled. Lastly, these were lower bin chips that may have ended up in the trash if the GRE didn't exist.

Those prices just simply aren’t correct.

The 9070XT is a Steel Legend which is a tier up from the challenger (which the 9070 listed is). That would mean the price difference between the non-xt and XT would be LESS than $50 which obviously isn’t correct.

 

[nomadd]

we asked Delores in the canteen..

..who uses the same hairdresser as Lisa Su.

Finally, a reliable pricing source!
