that moment when you ordered new RX 9070 XT just to get hit with a

[AllergicToBrainRot]

Insufficient stock to process your order(s) email -.-

Update: I was ordering what I could and managed to pre-ordered an:

XFX Swift AMD Radeon RX 9070 OC White Triple Fan Gaming Edition with 16GB GDDR6 HDMI 3xDP. (I realize It's the non XT version. It's too late as XT version is SOLD OUTeverywhere).

Which releases on the 8th. I never pre ordered a gpu before and I don't know when it will charge me. I assume on the release date? I hope this one was a good pick.

Update: I canceled my order on the non xt version. I really want that XT version for 1440p gaming. Wish me luck on getting the XT version! Thank you everyone!

UPDATE!: Newegg stocked two 700+ RX 7090 XT at 12pm central time and i managed to order the gigabyte RX 9070 XT OC for 790$ ! It charged me so that mean's it didn't auto cancel it! Coming to me match 3rd. Only thing left is to buy an extra gpu cable since it's 3 8-pins.

Update 3/14/25: My GIGABYTE RX 9070 XT OC came in the mail about last night. I found out the extra PCI-E was the wrong brand and almost fried my PSU and GPU!. I had to google to find the right one for my PSU. It's gonna take a week to arrive. All well. ♥♥♥♥ happens!

Unlike other posters who want to engage in brand wars. I would like to extend my sympathies as it is frustrating. I experienced the same myself three times during coffin cough. I also know what it is like to have to settle for a lesser card, because this nonsense leaves you out of position. There are few things that feel like such a letdown. Then having to pay for something that you were not in the market for.

You did relatively good all things considered, and hopefully you wont get a second email. Here I am sitting waiting for mine to ship, and dreading that possibility myself, because if I can't get one at launch. Then it will end up being an eight or nine month wait. As I can't hang out online trying to catch drips and drabs, and by the time that's not the case everything will be marked up. For a product that has an appreciably shorter lifespan.

There are few things more dejecting then getting turned back at the door.

Ah OK, well then I guess £700 for the 9070 not too bad. Is that 9070 or 9070 XT ?

9070 or the 9070xt are of equal dollar to performance value at 1080p, so both of them are a good buy, and you should take whichever one you can find

If you are going for 1440p or 4k, then the XT pulls ahead, and you definitely want the 9070XT at those higher resolutions.

The 5080 is just under £1400 compared to £700 for the 9070xt.

Scan has a 5080 Zotac OC for £1100

ETA end of march

Missed that one, amazing what difference a manufacturer can make. Even so it's still 400 above the 9070.

Yeah Zotac are close to MSRP.

But the 5080 is much more powerful than the 9070XT, so a 5070ti would be better comparison and is around £900.

Aren't the 5080s also catching on fire?

which is about a third higher than the 9070xt..... For the price & performance, your getting a good deal with the AMD offerings.

Also, the 5070ti is a 300w card,which is around 50w higher TDP than that of the 9070xt.
For those with high energy bills, that will be something to take into consideration, especially when your shelling out more for the Nvidia card in the first place.

the 5080 is a 360w card, which... well, that's higher than all the others, including my 7900xtx...

Nvidia hasn't managed a good release here. The performance isn't there for the cost, and the energy use (with the drive to green energy causing bills to go up) is not a good thing either.

If i was looking to replace my xtx, i'd still pick AMD on cost grounds, bad drivers and all. My last Nvidia card will remain the 1080.

5080 is barely above a 4080 Super; so yes 5070 Ti ain't worth nothing close to 1000 in Dollars, Euros or Pounds.

However, the 5070 Ti "can" technically run as good as a stock 5080 given the OC head-room all the RTX 50 cards have for the most part. It just needs to be User OC'ed

I still say all the prices are a joke and how releasing these RTX 50 made everyone go and ramp up prices for RTX 40 series; just really ridiculous. Even a 3060 12GB or 4060 are like $350-450 now; what a joke.

That's why I didn't mind grabbing the 9070 XT for around $599 (659 British Pounds I think it was after I had a friend grab one and pay the taxes) since in USA I could only get the $549 9070 non-XT

Even with inflation; there is NO reason any consumer grade GPU should be above $1000

1080 Ti was around $699 when 1st released. So a 4090 should be like $999 at most.

Then you have companies like META (owners of Facebook and Instagram) buying 350,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs for AI needs. Why not mark up THOSE GPUs so consumers can get fair pricing on gaming GPUs. Those companies can afford it, WE can't

Yeah AMDs launch is definitely better than nvidias.

Idk about this bad drivers thing, i don’t think that’s really an issue anymore.

Why do you believe that all 5080 or 5090 would catch fire?
It's been proven to be isolated cases of user errors.
Maybe stop believing all the trash click baiting videos you see on the internet.
I've been benching and stress testing my 5090 almost non stop since I got it and guess what? Nothing wrong to report, temperatures are good no fire to report.

How so? All these AMD GPUs sold out nearly everything in 24-48 hours.

But that also happened when AMD released the Vega 56 and 64. At least the Vega 64. I bought 4x of them for I think $699 or so. 1-2 days later everyone was putting them back online @ 1099+

How?!? They've literally been stockpiling them at retailers for almost 2 months now.

Did they? There’s loads of stock in the UK and I saw people saying there is way more stock in the US vs nvidia.

9070 is in stock right now at UK retailers

„Nobody” wants 9070. People want 9070XT at MSRP (£569). Paying more than that for a weaker 9070 base is crazy IMHO.

There’s no way they’ll get MSRP for a while. That’s why i brought up 5070ti since it’s also in stock.

But I’m hearing different things, is it a bad launch or a good launch lol. Seems to depend on who says it.

I want the non-XT because I use a super SFF case. I am built in Xkors S300 case, and I play at 1080p.
