AMD is soon set to foretell more detail about the upcomingRX 9070 XT , which might end up rivaling some of thebest computer graphic cardsin the mainstream section . More than the eyeglasses , the hearsay mill has been buzzing with whispers about how much the GPU is going to be . Today , a well - bonk leaker weighed in on the matter , and it seems like AMD may undercut Nvidia — but only just about .
According toDavid Huang on X(formerly Twitter ) , the card will cost $ 699 . This was posted in response to another user , who guessed that it ’d be priced at $ 649 . According toVideoCardz , AMD claims to need to target a sub-$700 cost range with its new flagship , which gives more weight to these rumour .
Assuming that the $ 699 turns out to be right , this might put the RX 9070 XT in an interesting , albeit a bit dangerous , position in the market . Nvidia ’s RTX 5070 Ti launched at $ 750 , and the RTX 5070 will soon follow with a $ 550 Leontyne Price tag . Meanwhile , AMD ’s RX 9070 XT is said to go down somewhere between those two GPUs in condition of performance , which makes a $ 700 Leontyne Price tag justifiable … but perhaps not idealistic .
This strategy , mean AMD dropping its monetary value to be just slightly cheap than Nvidia , was used in RDNA 3 , but its success is debatable . AMD always end up lowering the price more over clock time , and the GPUs that offered great public presentation per dollar from the get - go were the ones that became devotee front-runner in the end .
Undercutting Nvidia just a footling chip is a upright matter , but may not be enough for people to call on toward AMD . Nvidia enjoys the perks of being the big fish in the GPU market , and many gamers default to Team Green whenever they ’re buying a young carte du jour . AMD may postulate more than a $ 50 Mary Leontyne Price cut to shake those gamers in its own charge .
Moreover , as is often the case with AMD , RDNA 4 may put up from the fact that RDNA 3 card are still so promptly available , and at much lower price than they used to be sold for , too . The RX 7900 XTX , the RX 7900 XT , and even the RX 7900 GRE may mold as replacements for AMD ’s novel GPU , although the latter is said to be getting obliterated in benchmarks .
Of course , AMD may still win against Nvidia — even with a $ 700 flagship GPU . This is because both the RTX 5070 Ti and the RTX 5070 are likely to be overpriced or difficult to buy for a while to come . This is just one of theseveral egress confront by the RTX 50 - series post - launch . If AMD can offer better accessibility and board sold at MSRP , even a $ 700 price tag might do the trick .
While those Twitter insider have antecedently partake in accurate information about upcoming release , it ’s important to take it all with a cereal of salt until we ’re sure . It wo n’t be long now : AMD will reveal the card on February 28 during a peculiar issue .
