- Retailers have secured thousands of RX 9070 XT units.
- They warn that only a few hundred will be sold at MSRP during the initial days.
- The rest will receive a price hike, making the $600 marketing redundant a few days after release.
AMD’s RX 9070 XT has been praised for matching the RTX 5070 Ti at a much lower price. The gaming giant also promised an abundance of supply on day one, especially compared to Nvidia’s RTX 5000 lineup.
So far, AMD’s promises seem to be holding up, but retailers have issued a sudden warning. They state that the RX 9070 XT will soon go up in price, with the $600 MSRP reserved for the initial batch.
Why it matters: Without the MSRP, the RX 9070 XT would lose most of its appeal. The graphics card’s reviews would also need a revision since the media recommended it based on the MSRP.
As reported by Swedish retailer Inet.se, the current pricing applies to a select few units. The retailer states it will receive another shipment from PowerColor shortly, but these cards will not be offered at MSRP.
Sapphire and Asus models will be available at MSRP, but Inet.se states that this stock will permanently run out after the initial batch. This is quite alarming, and Inet.se is far from the only retailer to make such a bold claim.
As OCUK states, of the 4000 RX 9070 XT units available to the retailer, only a few hundred will be sold at MSRP. OCUK expects prices to jump once these units are sold.
We have around 2000 units from Sapphire in stock, 1000 from PowerColor, and 1000 from Asrock. Prices will jump once those are sold through.

Because the Trump tariffs are expected to impact the market in a major way as well, it may be best to attempt and secure a new graphics card as quickly as possible.
There’s little doubt that the RX 9070 XT is a solid choice for $600, so those looking to score a GPU upgrade should waste as little time as possible. AMD is also expected to launch the Radeon RX 9060 XT at cheaper prices in the coming months, but there’s no telling how the market will evolve by then.
