Відеокарта TUF Gaming Radeon RX 9070 XT OC Edition / Asus
As early as Friday, March 7, specialized sites noticed that AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT was heading for leadership on Amazon. Now it has already happened.
The day before, the top American Amazon led by NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti. The new graphics card has already won the race in the German and British Amazon. Specifically, we are talking about the Asus TUF Gaming Radeon RX 9070 XT OC Edition (last minimum price $1338) and the MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16G Ventus 3X OC ($1234), which lost the «crown to the». The latter prices are conditional, as there are currently no offers for both graphics cards.
The situation on Amazon shows illusory nature of recommended prices from both NVIDIA and AMD. The most popular graphics cards are sold for much more than MSRP and are actually at parity. GIGABYTE Radeon RX 7800 XT Gaming OC 16G is in third place in the top, followed by PowerColor’s RX 9070 XT.
The younger of AMD’s two new products, the XFX Swift Radeon RX 9070 OC, is only in fifth place, while the next NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti is only in sixth place. The seventh place is taken by the most widespread GeForce RTX 4060 on Steam. Next up is the RX 7800 XT, followed by the veteran RTX 3060 and the RX 7800 XT rounding out the top ten.
As noted by Tom’s Hardware, despite the fact that AMD RX 9070 graphics cards received a larger stock than NVIDIA’s competitors, they quickly ran out within hours of launch. Speculators are also selling them at almost twice the recommended price. A large British retailer Overclockers UK (via Wccftech) reported selling 5000 units of RX 9070 series graphics cards on the launch day. In fact, OCUC was selling 100 Radeon graphics cards per second.
