AMD Radeon 9070 GPUs Have Arrived, But Retailers Are Selling Out Fast

The highly anticipated AMD Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT graphics cards are now available--if you can find one in stock. Much like Nvidia's new 50-Series GPUs, the Radeon 9070 is selling out fast at major retailers. At the time of writing, both Best Buy and Newegg are completely sold out--and Amazon will likely follow suit. With impressive tech specs for the price, AMD's 9070 cards could be a popular choice for PC gamers looking for a mid-range GPU.

Powered by the new AMD RDNA 4 architecture, the GPUs support third-generation ray tracing and a variety of AMD-specific features designed to bolster mid-range performance. The new architecture is paired with AMD’s second-generation AI accelerators that aim to improve functionality outside of gaming. If you're a streamer or like to record gameplay, AMD says the upgraded display engine offers enhancements for creators.

The RX 9070 Series features 16GB GDDR6 memory, which is said to offer a 20% performance boost over the older RX 7900 GRE. The RX 9070 XT bumps that to a 40% performance increase. Other highlights include FSR 4 for upscaling, a Software Manager that ensures your cards are always running the latest drivers, and pricing that starts at $549 for the RX 9070 and $600 for the RX 9070 XT.

Prices are a bit higher than that, however, as companies like ASUS, Gigabyte, and PowerColor are selling their models for around $700. Despite the heftier prices, they’re still selling out remarkably fast. Amazon seems to be the last one holding on to inventory--here’s a quick look at what’s available at the time of writing.

All AMD 9070 GPUs at Amazon

• ASUS TUF Radeon RX 970 OC Edition (16GB, 4,000MHz) -- $710
• Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 OC Edition (16GB, 2,600MHz) -- $670
• Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT (16GB, 2,600MHz) -- $730
• ASUS Prime Radeon RX 9070 XT OC Edition (16GB, 4,000MHz) -- $720

If you’re looking for gear to pair with the new GPU, check out the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X 8-Core Processor. Released last year and often sold out, it’s currently available at Best Buy and even has a slight discount. For something a bit more robust, the Ryzen 9 9950X 16-Core Processor is discounted to $541.75 (was $649) at Amazon. Slotting between these two CPUs is the Ryzen 9 9900X 12-Core Processor for $378.75 (was $499)--all three should make for a great pairing with the above GPUs, so give them a look if you’re putting together an entire rig.

It's also worth noting that the faster Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 9900X3D CPUs are expected to arrive later this month.
