Well even if AMD prices the card competitively, it doesn't really matter anyway because it'll end up in the retail market at vastly inflated prices
...and people will buy it anyway because well the GPU market is completely upended by the chip shortage and the mining boom

The counterintuitive thing is that the card's pricing and availability is actually decent compared to the alternatives because of low demand caused by the negative reception of the card

IMHO this GPU generation starts to feel like a lost generation in the GPU history because of the prolonged availability issues of the card - we could have seen some much needed competition in the GPU market, especially the high end of the spectrum (which AMD sorely needs, after they left the high end market several years ago), now it's became a battle of which company can produce enough cards to cope with the demand, no matter how bad the pricing is

I think those who are interested in PC gaming should come back in 2022 (optimistically), or realistically, 2023

600 USD for 9070 XT? OK
550 USD for the vanilla model?

It feels like AMD wants to upsell us the more expensive model... although RIP 5070 Ti if AMD AIBs can supply enough of them

Unlikely, but we may see something in the line of the 9060 (XT) in the near future

More crucially they'll probably be easier to buy over the near vaporware grade 50 series
Nice, looks like a 9070 XT will be my next upgrade, now all I need is some AIB card reviews

The vanilla 9070 needs to be about 50 USD cheaper, but the 9070XT pricing is definitely very good considering inventory levels

Guess you never seen RTX50 'pricing' right now, most cards are sold at vastly inflated prices, worse still most retailers are bundling them with parts that you do not need or only available as part of a complete system
If all else fails I can always try to import one from Taobao

Probably, but I need to rebuild my PC for MHWilds

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?)

Asked one of the sellers, they say must bundle with full PC unless supplier stock 'stabilizes'
Scalping by local suppliers?

FOMO pricing by retailers probably

Much better, while RT performance still leaves much to be desired compared to the 5070 Ti, the fact that there is decent availability (at least outside MY) should hopefully pressure Nvidia into improving their inventory levels

I may consider going for a 5070 Ti as I owned a couple of Radeon GPUs if I can get one at a more sensible pricing (hopefully they can sort out the missing ROPs and the software problems)

A little heads up, possible price hikes after the limited MSRP supply exhausts:

10PM tonight

It depends on which part of the EU though, some parts of the EU are not as rich as what most people think here

I really doubt AMD is responsible for the pricing, as regions like Taiwan/Singapore share somewhat similar price tags with us (yes I know their purchasing power is different)

Meanwhile in Taiwan... retailers are forcing bundles everywhere:

Capitalizing on FOMO

Seriously this has been the case since the RTX 30 series/RX6000 launch, so don't act surprised

Just don't buy it, and wait for supply normalizes, GPUs are not food and water

Nice, how much did you pay for your 9070XT? I was quoted RM3499 for a bundle free Sapphire 9070XT Pulse at my local shop

Well certainly cheaper than a 5070 Ti (the exact shop quotes me RM5299 for a MSI one), and no need to deal with 12VHPWR is an added bonus
