"Best Places to Purchase AMD Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT Graphics Cards"

If you chose to wait on Nvidia's Blackwell GPUs to see what AMD had in store, you made a wise decision. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT graphics cards have emerged as the mid-range champions of this generation, delivering exceptional performance at a more competitive price than their Nvidia counterparts. **They will be available for purchase starting March 6 at 6am PST**. The Radeon RX 9070 is priced at $550, while the RX 9070 XT comes in at $600. Let's hope AMD manages its supply better than Nvidia has in the past.

How much will these new AMD GPUs cost?

--------------------------------------

The compelling price-to-performance ratio is a major draw for these new AMD cards. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 matches the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 in price but surpasses it in performance and VRAM, offering 16GB compared to Nvidia's 12GB. Even more impressive, the Radeon RX 9070 XT not only competes with the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti but does so at $150 less. While we hope these suggested retail prices hold, if they do, the choice is clear.

• AMD Radeon RX 9070 - $550
• AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT - $600

Where should I preorder these new AMD GPUs?

-------------------------------------------

To maximize your chances of securing one of the new AMD GPUs, consider the following retailers:

• Amazon: A one-stop shop for various models, but be cautious to buy only from "shipped and sold by Amazon" to avoid marketplace scams.
• Best Buy: Likely your best online option, carrying a wide range of brands. Stock availability varies by region, and orders typically ship quickly.
• Newegg: Another strong contender with full manufacturer's warranty when buying direct. Keep an eye out for bundle kits that may still be available after standalone cards sell out.
• Micro Center: Your best bet if you're near a store, as they reserve GPU sales for in-store purchases. Arrive early on launch day for the best chance.

We reviewed both AMD graphics cards

-----------------------------------

We gave the AMD Radeon RX 9070 a score of 8/10. It matches the price of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 but outperforms it in most games tested, with the added benefit of more VRAM (16GB vs 12GB) for enhanced future-proofing. Its power consumption is comparable to the RTX 5070.

AMD Radeon RX 9070 Review by Jacqueline Thomas

"The AMD Radeon RX 9070 is a stellar 1440p graphics card that outshines the competition. It delivers superb performance, often reaching high refresh rates without frame generation, and includes an AI upscaler for improved image quality. Its only limitation is its close performance to the Radeon RX 9070 XT."

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT earned a perfect 10/10 from us. Priced $150 below the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, it outperforms it in several games, with some benchmarks showing a significant lead. It also features 16GB of VRAM, matching both the 9070 and 5070 Ti. However, it consumes more power and runs hotter than the RTX 5070 Ti.

AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Review by Jacqueline Thomas

"Since 2020, PC gaming has faced challenges, but the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT reminds us that it doesn't have to be this way. This graphics card can handle any game at 4K with ray tracing enabled, all at a price that makes the competition seem overpriced. While we can't predict future pricing, the RX 9070 XT sets a high standard for what graphics cards should offer."
