How Much Will These New AMD GPUs Cost?
Their price-to-performance is a key selling point. The RX 9070 matches the Nvidia RTX 5070 in price but offers superior performance and more VRAM (16GB vs 12GB). Even better, the RX 9070 XT rivals the RTX 5070 Ti while costing $150 less. MSRP may fluctuate, but if these prices hold, it's a clear winner.
AMD Radeon RX 9070 - $550
AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT - $600
Where Should I Preorder These New AMD GPUs?
Best Buy, Newegg, and Amazon will have online listings; Micro Center will offer in-store sales only. Availability is unknown, but a Wccftech article suggests AMD is shipping more RX 9070 XTs than all of Nvidia's RTX 50 series combined. To maximize your chances, check every retailer and buy the first card you can successfully checkout.
Amazon
Amazon is a one-stop shop, but finding these GPUs requires effort. Their site lacks a comprehensive video card listing, and marketplace vendors often inflate prices or engage in scams. I'll add specific models as they appear; prioritize listings "shipped and sold by Amazon."

Best Buy
Best Buy is likely your best online option. They should carry all major brands (Sapphire, XFX, Asus, Asrock, Gigabyte, Powercolor). Inventory varies by region; less competitive areas offer better chances. Orders usually ship quickly (no backorders).

Newegg is another strong contender, expected to carry all models. Buy directly from Newegg (not marketplace vendors) for warranty eligibility. Orders usually ship within a week, unless backordered.

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT received a perfect 10/10. It undercuts the Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti by $150 while outperforming it in many tests. It has 16GB VRAM, but draws more power and runs hotter.
