AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT & 9070 Prices Leaked by Canadian Retailer

AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT & 9070 Prices Leaked by Canadian Retailer

AMD will be launching its new generation of "RDNA 4" Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 graphics cards next month, but we will likely hear more about technical details and price points from official insights around late February. Team Red had scheduled a special " launch event ," but Radeon RX 9070 series leaks continue to flow online. Earlier today, reports alluded to an XT variant that allegedly sports a generous VRAM pool of 32 GB. -off, courtesy of Tomasz Gawroński and the AnandTech forums. Based on screenshots, Canada Computers has inadvertently revealed regional prices (minus tax) for PowerColor and XFX's opening round of custom Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 [website] Red is reportedly lining up an aggressive price strategy ; industry insiders reckon that that baseline MSRP for the Radeon RX 9070 XT will be $599. Its non-XT sibling is expected to launch at a minimum point of $499. The Canada Computers leak seems to contain a small selection of models that hover closer to AMD's guidelines, but the majority of listed cards seemingly demand a premium upcharge. PowerColor's barebones models appear to conform closest to Team Red's recommended baseline—'s conversion-crunching, the Radeon RX 9070 XT Reaper will cost $999 CAD (~$697 USD). The RX 9070 (non-XT) Reaper will come in at $839 CAD (~$586 USD). We spotted no surprises when looking up and down the list of leaked PowerColor RDNA 4 SKUs; TechPowerUp staffers handled Red Devil, Hellhound and Reaper samples at CES 2025. In sharp contrast, XFX appears to have all sorts of options lined up for launch (refer to VideoCardz's chart, below). Two unnamed demonstration units—in black or white —were on display at AMD's recent partner roundup.PowerColor Red Devil RX 9070 XT 16 GB - $1,239 CAD (~$865 USD)PowerColor Red Devil RX 9070 XT 16 GB - $1,099 CAD (~$767 USD)PowerColor Hellhound RX 9070 XT 16 GB - $1,049 CAD (~$732 USD)PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 XT 16 GB - $999 CAD (~$697 USD) ⬅️MSRPPowerColor Red Devil RX 9070 16 GB - $919 CAD (~$641 USD)PowerColor Hellhound RX 9070 16 GB - $879 CAD (~$614 USD)PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 16 GB - $839 CAD (~$586 USD) ⬅️ MSRPXFX Mercury RX 9070 XT OC White Magnetic Air RGB 16 GB - $1,229 CAD (~$856 USD)XFX Mercury RX 9070 XT OC Magnetic Air RGB 16 GB - $1,199 CAD (~$837 USD)XFX Mercury RX 9070 XT OC White Gaming RGB 16 GB - $1,189 CAD (~$830 USD)XFX Quicksilver RX 9070 XT White Magnetic Air 16 GB - $1,159 CAD (~$809 USD)XFX Mercury RX 9070 XT OC Gaming RGB 16 GB - $1,159 CAD (~$788 USD)XFX Quicksilver RX 9070 XT Magnetic Air 16 GB - $1,129 CAD (~$748 USD)XFX Swift RX 9070 XT White Triple Fan Gaming 16 GB - $1,099 CAD (~$767 USD)XFX QuickSilver RX 9070 OC Gaming 16 GB - $949 CAD (~$662 USD)XFX Swift RX 9070 White Triple Fan Gaming 16 GB - $949 CAD (~$662 USD).

These could have been the original prices before the AMD delay. If so, it makes sense that AMD would want to reevaluate based on the 5070 series prices that Nvidia provided at CES. , 21:18 Reply.

PowerColor's barebones models appear to conform closest to Team Red's recommended baseline If both Reaper models at ~15% markup are the closest to the baseline, I fear for the pricing on every other model out there.

I would not be surprised if the rumors that original MSRP was higher turn out to be true and that AIB partners overbuilt and over-specced their cards and now that AMD surprised them with a lower MSRP they will scramble to get every little margin they can. I grimly foresee that MSRP models will be unobtanium of the highest order.

I'm not spending 700/800 euros on a AMD mid range gpu and if I were i could buy a used 7900 xt/xtx and have lots of money to spare. You can keep them.

if you're selling me a FIAT you'd more effective have a insanely good price, this isn't it. And they wonder why they don't sell cards. , 21:33 Reply.

As long as performace is not a disaster which doesn't look likekly, I'll be buying a 9070 xt even at the same price of a 5070 Ti MSRP of $750, partly because I mostly operate in Linux but mostly because I refuse to send anymore of my money nvidias way. , 21:43 Reply.

I just understand and remember, that sellers don't want to miss opportunity to earn more,.

so that after announcement of new product they don't want put MSRP or close to MSRP price on.

At least in the 1st month cards will have an additional margin “for those, who can't wait”.

All of them (US)$150 too expensive. AMD should be able to afford going at least a year without high margin on gaming GPUs, so they can gain some market share. , 22:10 Reply.

skizzo you haven't checked prices lately or else you would know you cannot get a USED RX 7900 XTX for under even $900.

maybe if you turn to something like facebook or [website] but certainly not on any e-tailer or ebay I'm in Europe, if seen several 7900xt for 600 euros refurbished (those cards they return almost new) with warranty, now they are getting less and less available. Several used cards for 600 eur used and even less.

xtx's can go for a little more, 700 euros you can get one, in the normal used sites were you buy stuff in your country.

It's not even that hard to find them and I'm not even in one of the bigger countries.

xtx for 700 euros with 23% vat on the prices of new, so in usd should be a lot less I'm in Europe, if seen several 7900xt for 600 euros refurbished (those cards they return almost new) with warranty, now they are getting less and less available.

Right now I was going to say that 7900XTX are like $1200 but it seems like the retailers have pumped the price of those cards into the stratosphere. Newegg has the Sapphire Pure 7900XT for a cool $1799. The 7800XT are still $699 Canadian. If those prices are true they will rot on shelves. Of course Nvidia will help them sell when a 5070TI will be $2000 Canadian. , 22:20 Reply.

With every leak, prices are going up. Started with $479-$549 something, gone to $599-$699 and now we see even higher prices. Maybe AMD believes that Nvidia's 5000 series supply constrains will help them sell those Radeons at higher prices. If they think that, they should resign and go and work as night guards or something. Because they should know by now that the public buys the Nvidia sticker. If they can't find 5000 series cards, they will buy 4000 series instead of buying anything Radeon with a disappointing price tag on it. , 22:24 Reply.

MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GAMING TRIO OC PLUS Pricing Leaks Out in Europe: €1149+

MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GAMING TRIO OC PLUS Pricing Leaks Out in Europe: €1149+

European PC hardware retailers are readying themselves with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti partner models, ahead of the GPU's freshly scheduled launch on February 20 . Tech news sites and industry watchdogs have already sniffed out preliminary pricing; courtesy of accidental listings of MSI custom card designs in France and Austria. We are more than a week away from GeForce RTX 5070 Ti release day, so speculative price points are subject to change. The Austrian arm of MediaMarkt was quick to correct matters after an accidental leak, and proceeded to remove an MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GAMING TRIO OC PLUS product page from its webstore. VideoCardz managed to preserve fundamental details, prior to MediaMarkt AT's de-listing of the offending item. The card's alleged €1169 asking price has raised Central European eyebrows—factoring in the region's customary VAT, we are looking at an approximate 32% increase over NVIDIA's baseline MSRP (€884). It should be noted that a Founders Edition does not exist in Team Green's upper-mid "Blackwell" GPU [website]'s price point for its GeForce RTX 5070 Ti VENTUS 3X OC PLUS card is expected to reside closer to Team Green's recommendation, but this barebones offering sits within the firm's "entry-level" product tier. The manufacturer's GAMING TRIO OC PLUS range tends to slot right into middle of product hierarchies—provisioned RGB lighting, larger heatsinks and miscellaneous fancy elements often demand an upcharge at retail. Tomasz Gawroński (aka GawroskiT) happened upon additional MSI listings in France; an unnamed e-tailer has priced the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GAMING TRIO OC PLUS at €1149 (€20 cheaper than MediaMarkt AT). The upper crust MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti VANGUARD SOC LIMITED EDITION model demands that French people part way with €1199, for the pleasure of ownership.
