AMD’s Radeon RX 9070 graphics cards have begun to appear online at a Spanish retailer, offering a glimpse into the GPU’s specifications and details about the AIB (Add-In-Board) models available.
As AMD’s highly anticipated RDNA 4 GPUs edge closer to their official release, retailers are gearing up by pre-listing these products to brace for what promises to be a notable launch. In this context, Spanish retailer NeoByte has jumped the gun, showcasing three different models—courtesy of the tipster @momomo_us—of the Radeon RX 9070 XT along with its standard version. Among these are options like the Gigabyte AORUS, as well as more straightforward base variants. However, the sticker prices at NeoByte seem to reach eye-watering levels, which is something we should delve into further.
For instance, AMD’s Gigabyte AORUS Radeon RX 9070 XT is marked at an eyebrow-raising €1,119.99. Meanwhile, the regular Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT is priced at €1,069.99, and its non-XT counterpart comes in at €889.99. It’s crucial to keep in mind that these might not be the final selling prices. More likely, they are placeholder figures slapped on by the retailer as we await more reasonable MSRPs, which many expect might fall within the $300 to $1,000 spectrum. Nevertheless, these listings shed light on some details about the RX 9070 GPUs, aligning with past rumors quite neatly. If you want to check out these listings for yourself, you’ll find them here.
It’s not just NeoByte getting in on the action. Over in the Philippines, retailer “Netcodex” has also put up a listing for the Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16GB card for about $530— perhaps indicating a price range more in line with what we’re likely to see at launch. In a recent discussion, AMD’s Frank Azor mentioned that the RX 9070 SKUs are aimed at the $300-$1,000 price bracket. Given that these GPUs are set to compete directly against NVIDIA’s 70-class and 80-class cards, AMD appears poised to adopt a strategy of aggressive pricing, particularly if they aim to capture the mainstream market segment.
The battle for supremacy in the mainstream GPU arena is truly heating up, with big names like NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel all vying to offer the best deals for consumers. For graphics card enthusiasts, this undoubtedly means some exciting times are just around the corner.
