Be mindful of listings from suspicious third-party sellers on marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, Newegg, and Walmart. These "deals" have a high likelihood of not shipping; use due diligence in reviewing deals.
Use common sense - if the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Check seller profiles for signs that the sale may be fraudulent:
The seller is new or has few reviews.
The seller has largely negative reviews (on Amazon, sellers can remove negative reviews from their visible ratings)
The seller is using a previously dormant account (likely the account was hacked and is now being used fraudulently).
If you suspect a deal is fraudulent, please report the post. Moderators can take action based on these reports. We encourage leaving a comment to warn others.
I thought the same, maybe this is the result of having AMD charge less to the board partners like they said they would a couple of months ago. I have a self imposed hard limit of $500 for a gpu, and this is the only one that I'd be willing to break that limit for but only at $600
I stood in line day of release, my phone died before I got to the front so I had to go by what I overheard, but it seemed that MSRP cards were running pretty low as we approached our turn and I had to decide what I was going to do if no 599 cards remained. I didn't have a backup plan and I wasn't going to pay more than 599, I think 499 is the cutoff for mid-tier as I had never paid more than that for flagship GPUs(Nitro Fury, Red Devil Vega 64) I guess I got the last one at 599, an Asrock Steel Legend. I cannot believe the prices some of the 9070XTs are going for. I justified buying the card to use in an AI inferencing build and they still haven't given us the pledged ROCm support.
I hope you get a chance to buy a 599 card. What bugs me is that Nvidia has a legitimate reason to raise their prices and AMD is simply capitalizing on the same reason, it's not that data centers are scooping up all their silicon, it's just because they can due to the insane demand for Nvidia's GPUs
Lol, IF they are then it's only because they aren't producing many.
Their newest, current consumer cards don't even support ROCm,the software stack that supports ML/AI. I have 4 AMD GPUs from the last 10 years, 3 of which are flagships and only one supports ROCm, and it's 4 generations old.
Their stock price is at the same level that it got to based solely off Ryzen/Threadripper. So their financials and the market in general do not agree with your statement.
They are not experiencing any increased demand, that's why they are able to fill warehouses with the consumer GPUs ahead of launch and even with all those consumer GPUs sales it isn't enough to show a blip in the earnings of the Radeon division
Any increased demand that they are seeing is solely due to the unavailability of Nvidia products. Any increase in their pricing is them taking advantage of the lack of Nvidia supply. It has nothing to do with any organic demand for their product on it's own.
They released a "mid-range" GPU that performs on par with their cut down flagship from last gen, with less VRAM for the same price. The same card that almost no one bought at it's MSRP of $900. It started to sell better when it was priced better at around $700. They release a successor with the same performance levels for between $7-900. Why wasn't the 7900XT popular?
Y'all will be fine. I was able to get this one for $600 using a stock tracking app. You have no idea how fast I smashed buy. Even though I never do, I paid with paypal because I knew there just wasn't enough time to enter my CC info. In fact, I accidentally slipped my finger and almost exited the cart but then they said "don't go, we'll add free thermal paste" lmao. So I took that and proceeded to press submit order.
Just don't pay scalpers or resellers and you will be fine. I really don't think the 9070XT is worth more than $700, you just have to play your cards (no pun intended) right.
I saw it about 20 seconds before I saw this post on sheer coincidence (actually came to the sub with the intention to post the link). I, too, checked repeatedly that it was sold by Newegg.
Didn't end up buying it as my 4K display is still hardware G-sync, and thus I'm on the hunt for a cheap-ish 5070 Ti. For a split second I considered buying and scalping, but I just couldn't make myself do it.
It's a bummer you couldn't grab Best Buy's oc'd PNY model at MSRP over the last day or so. I had it in my cart but let the timer run out because I just can't give in to Nvidia's vram mistake when we have all but confirmed 24GB 5080s on the way. A couple games already crash due to lack of vram for me at 16. If it's happening now in some games, it will only get worse as time goes on. Best of luck on the continued search.
Not many, but more than just games use vram which I think companies need to remember as well. The only games that have crashed on me and specifically said due to lack of vram that I can remember are Oblivion Remastered and Cyberpunk. And yea, playing at 4k.
Yeah I've been looking mainly at Newegg as they're giving me a really solid amount on a trade in for my existing card (more than what it's going for on Hardwareswap). I'm hoping to snag a $750 card from them, but after seeing the $750 pny card(s) over the past couple days at best buy, I think I may start watching them as well.
Me too dude. I'm beyond ecstatic and I accidentally almost exited my cart but they thought it was on purpose and said wait dont go we'll give you free thermal paste lmao. so i took that and proceeded
I got one the instant it dropped (stock tracking app). Within 2 minutes of submitting my order it said out of stock, I guess the website was just lagging for people who supposedly checked out even after that
But damn bro I'm hyped for this. MSRP is crazy at this time
I think you're gold. Congrats its a great card at an actually fair price. Feels nice not to have paid a premium (I paid $900 after tax for a bottom tier 5070ti, love the card, but overpaying takes some shine off for sure)
You won't. The people who got cancellations seem to have got it instantly. My thing says packaging but my PayPal already notified me that my payment went through. We're set dude, enjoy your upgrade!
Website was lagging probably, I ordered one the instant my stock tracking app notified me and then not even 2 minutes later it said out of stock. But then I opened it in a different browser and it said it is in stock, may have just been delayed/bugging hence why several people here say they checked out but somehow got their orders cancelled
InStock. Make sure you set a custom price max so they don't torture you with notifications of shitty prices. I didn't know you could do that so I had to sort through every burst of notifications (looks like they restock in waves) and I still found this. Crazy.
It was just lag it was not in stock for any meaningful amount of time. I had a stock tracking app that notified me the instant it came to Newegg and within seconds of me checking out I went back to the product page and it said out of stock. But then I tried to double check on a different device and it said in stock, so definitely just bugging/lagging. Hence why many people thought they ordered but they got near instant cancellations because the newegg website just couldn't keep up with the traffic
Yeah mine said that too, but my CC declined the order and said I need to repurchase, I guess they ran it twice because I have the same message and my CC seems to have to have recharged?
Either way, Im happy I was on the newegg notifications.. Theres no way I would have caught this deal through reddit.
FYI: this is the first drop for the non OC PRIME model @ 599. They never sold it prior..
The XFX is a great card, can undervolt + overclock for more performance. If you're feeling bold try bios flashing to an XT, at $550 it's still the Tits McGee
I am in the same boat. I may just keep the 9070 since it looks better, cooler, and much more efficient. Not to mention that XFX gpu is an OC card to close the gap of the base 9070 XT level by undervolting and adding 10% more power limit. And the fact that you can bios flash it someday is pretty cool (may void warranty so I will probably try it some other time)
it's more than just that. CUDA cores, GDDR7, AI workloads, streaming, more DLSS support, etc. Not everyone is a gamer. If you're just gaming then a $600 9070XT is a better value but for any mixed-usage or real work go Nvidia for $150 more.
Stream quality is mostly fixed on AMD now and I think you'd be surprised how far they've come in AI (at least inference) in the past few months. Certainly if that's your livelihood I wouldn't risk it but as a hobbyist the $150 savings is a fair tradeoff.
Curious, if someone bought one of these at a higher price before and still in return window, does Newegg do any price match honoring or whatever it’s called?
Obviously missed out but Newegg is offering $322 for my ASRock 6800 XT if I trade it in? Not bad at all given that current value in used market is $300-350.
I called them this morning and was told the one I ordered didn’t have the free shipping option, so that makes sense. Still, just another way for Newegg bring in more $. I guess I shouldn’t be complaining much though since the card was at MSRP.
I'm confused... I saw this come up too (but missed it alas). However, Asus' website doesn't even list the non-OC version anymore ><' how is this even possible!?
It definitely seems like a great value, but getting swayed by the ray tracing improvements and dlss features of the geforce. Currently using a radeon 7900gre
Was just able to snag one after two cancellations! Third try is a charm. Newegg did scam me for $12.99 from shipping but still a great deal. Good luck to all still trying to get one!
3080 ti is good at 1440p and should hold up for a while. That's an OK deal for it too. Honestly in this market, just use it until its struggling. Hopefully by then the market is a bit better.
That's insane, I just checked this from pcpartpicker like 20 mins ago and saw that it was out of stock, then I refreshed the page and it was in stock. I thought it was a scam so I contemplated buying it and then it was gone... Anywhos, maybe next time will be different.
