I don't mind buying from Taobao if the MY prices are absurd. Perhaps can share shipping cost 😄

Will take years of AMD constantly competing before the tide changes IMO. The software suite especially, which is what’s preventing me from jumping over to team Red.

9070 XT beating 7900 XT. Not sure if the benchmark is legit.

If anything, the consumers deserve this current state of market. Many are not putting the wallet where their mouth are

AMD already stated before they've given up on the high-end and flagship GPU space. They are gonna compete at the mid range only

Buy overseas incur import tax, after plus shipping, the cost might be about same anyhow

Indeed. But locally I can see why; when AMD Msia smoking stronk weed and pricing Radeons very close to its Geforce tiers when globally its priced one tier below, like who would buy into AMD then?

Fixed that for ya

Perfectly fine, especially when you consider the completely out of shape GPU market right now

?? The 7800XT is very well priced here though (especially with the MH Wilds combo), and a few years back the 5700XT is actually priced about RM300-RM500 below the 2070 Super (or even the 2060 Super)
Same goes to the RX6000 series (remember the 6600 and the 6700 XT?)

Dont compare 7800xt today prices. Try with its launch MSRP here, its totally obscene. Radeon MSRP seems reasonable up to 5700xt, then Covid crypto boom happen and prices became bonkers which never came back normal again.

Wondering when Malaysian retailers will start showing the price for the 9070xt.

Both starts selling on 6 Mac so expect Msia to sell by 13 Mac. MSRP prices here are a joke, you only need to care what are the street prices and if need bundle.

MSRP for 9070 in Malaysia hopefully dont spike to 5070ti level

I will not buy it from retailers who sell like this for the 9000 series cards. Out of principle, I do not condone such selling tactics.

Due to the delayed launch, I suppose distros here got plenty stocks so no need to bundle but then the pent up demand for RTX 5000series might cause shortages to Radeons too so if you fast buy early prolly can get stock at near MSRP otherwise once the shortage happens then good luck waiting.
Either their revenue bottom drops or you drop wallet and pay what their asking for.

Found a small store in Kepong who is selling one 9070 non XT for RM3300. Already sold his one 9070XT for about RM4000. Quite the markup for the XT when it's only USD50 diff. At least its the first indiciation of the Malaysian prices for the 9000 series cards at launch. And no need to buy with other parts or bundle.

LOL! Makes little difference. When they arent forcing you to bundle for MSRP, their scalping you with overprices.

Ouch, 4k thats a large markup.
I check PJ store yesterday (for now is just Section 17 digital mall). Only a few shops are ordering and maybe getting it by next week. Other big retailers are planning to do bundle set.

For the price of 4K on XT card, that is almost equivalent to the 5070Ti.
This is quite hard to justify on going to AMD considering that Nvidia offer much more feature.

Yeah, I also don't feel quite worth it to buy it at that price. I may as well wait until the price becomes more sensible then only buy.
