If you waited on Nvidia's Blackwell GPUs to see if AMD's new cards delivered, you made the right call. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT are the new mid-range champs, offering incredible performance at lower prices than their Nvidia rivals. **They launch March 6th at 6 AM PST.** The RX 9070 starts at $550, and the 9070 XT at $600. Let's hope AMD handles supply better than Nvidia.

Availability remains uncertain, but given their competitive positioning, expect quick sellouts. Below are the best places to find them. Currently, securing a launch-day GPU means less choice; grab what's available at a fair price—think later, buy now.

**TLDR;** This article assumes, not guarantees, GPU availability. Everything might be sold out by the time you read this.

How Much Will These GPUs Cost?

Their price-to-performance is a key selling point. The RX 9070 matches the Nvidia RTX 5070 in price but offers better performance and more VRAM (16GB vs 12GB). Even more impressive, the RX 9070 XT rivals the RTX 5070 Ti while costing $150 less. Assuming MSRP holds:

• AMD Radeon RX 9070 - $550
• AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT - $600

Where to Buy

Your best bets are: Amazon, Best Buy, and Newegg (online); Micro Center (in-store only). Availability is unpredictable; check each retailer and buy immediately if you find one. A Wccftech article claims AMD is shipping more RX 9070 XTs than all Nvidia's RTX 50 series combined.

Amazon

Amazon is a one-stop shop, but finding these GPUs requires effort. Their site lacks a central GPU page, and marketplace sellers often inflate prices or scam buyers. Prioritize listings "shipped and sold by Amazon." Specific models will be added as available.

Best Buy

Best Buy is a strong contender, likely carrying all major brands (Sapphire, XFX, Asus, Asrock, Gigabyte, Powercolor). Inventory varies by region; less-competitive areas offer better chances. Orders typically ship quickly.

Newegg

Newegg is another excellent option, expected to stock all models. Buy directly from Newegg (not marketplace vendors) for warranty coverage. Shipping is usually fast unless backordered. Consider bundle deals if you're building a PC.

Micro Center (In-Store Only)

Micro Center is your best bet if you're nearby. They prioritize in-store sales; arrive early.

The RX 9070 XT received a perfect 10/10, beating the RTX 5070 Ti in many benchmarks for $150 less, though it draws more power and runs hotter.

AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Review by Jacqueline Thomas: "PC Gaming has been in a decadent spiral since 2020, and the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT is a reminder that it doesn’t have to be that way... What I do know is we need more graphics cards like the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT."
