[Hardware] AMD Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT Listed On Amazon - One Buyer Snags a Unit

[TheWild ™]

 

We live in crazy times, that's for sure. We have already witnessed a plethora of listings for AMD's RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT GPUs - both set to hit shelves early next month - indicating a decent value proposition compared to NVIDIA's RTX 5070 family, if the leaks and rumors are anything to go by. More recently, as spotted by @momomo_us, Amazon briefly listed a bunch of RX 9070 and 9070 XT cards from XFX. The pricing details are as follows:

XFX Swift AMD Radeon RX 9070 OC - $649.99

XFX Swift AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT - $749.99

XFX Quicksilver AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT - $769.99

XFX Mercury AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT OC - $819.99

XFX Mercury AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT OC Magnetic Air Edition - $849.99As expected from previous whispers, the base RX 9070 card is priced at a relatively okayish $650, and the RX 9070 XT is priced $100 higher. However, things soon took an interesting turn, when a Sapphire Nitro+ RX 9070 XT also got listed on Amazon CA - and a curious Redditor actually managed to purchase the thing. The triple-slot, triple-fan card, was priced at a whopping $1,365 CAD, or roughly $962 - which is quite an absurd price for what the card is expected to offer. Of course, the listing was not meant to go live before official release, which was originally intended for late January before being pushed back to early March. Needless to say, it is highly likely that the Redditor's order will end up getting cancelled, or perhaps, shipped only after the official release.
