- AMD has preemptively announced official pricing for the RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT.
- The GPUs are priced at 4499 RMB and 4999 RMB, respectively. These translate to $549 and $599 in the US.
- An official worldwide reveal is also scheduled to go live in just a few hours.
The RX 9070 XT is shaping up to be one of AMD’s most interesting graphics cards in many years. Expected to challenge the RTX 4080, this Radeon offering was rumored to cost as much as $699 recently.
However, AMD has officially confirmed the prices in China, and the situation is far better than anticipated. The RX 9070 XT is now confirmed to cost $599.
Why it matters: AMD’s pricing could give it a major edge over Nvidia this generation. It seems the gaming giant is finally looking to capitalize on Nvidia’s obscene pricing strategy.
AMD announced the prices during a recent event for distributors and partners. The RX 9070 XT officially costs 4999 RMB, while the RX 9070 is set to cost 4499 RMB. Converted to USD, the two GPUs will cost $599 and $549, respectively.
These prices also include tax, so AMD has managed to offer a cheaper GPU than the RTX 5070 Ti in China. Moreover, the event states that both graphics cards will officially go on sale starting from March 6.
To nobody’s surprise, reactions to this pricing have been quite pleasant. Following recent leaks, PC gamers had begun to prepare themselves for the worst, but it seems AMD is looking to capitalize on the Blackwell generation’s recent debacles.
Still, there has been concern about the RX 9070’s pricing. If it ends up being significantly slower than the XT counterpart, AMD might be forced to lower the graphics card’s pricing later down the line.
AMD’s official reveal event for the RDNA 4 lineup goes live in just a few hours. Official performance benchmarks, specifications, and pricing details should be available at this event, giving PC gamers a chance to consider more options after Nvidia’s recent disasters.
Nvidia is also expected to launch the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB next month. Needless to say, PC gamers have plenty to look forward to, even if Nvidia’s offerings have not been the most exciting lately.
