Anyone who woke up on time - Were the 599 models gone instantly or did they last 20 minutes at least?

Instantly

 

[Nankatsu]

Man, this Sapphire Nitro+ design is awesome.

Agree, but they need to release a black version of it.

The Asus ones are also damn clean, but the price on those...

 

[CrustyBritches]

So happy to be able to get my purchase in at NewEgg, only to have the fuckers cancel it 15 minutes later. Stopped looking since I had a confirmed order, so now I’m fucked.

I feel your pain. If it makes you feel any better, I got the PowerColor order through in a minute on my CC and immediately went to ordering a Sapphire Pulse using Paypal pay-in-4 as a backup. They killed the order out of my cart by the time I completed the 30sec process right before I hit the pay button on Newegg. This all happened within 3min. of the cards going live.

 

[BeardSpike]

PowerColor Radeon RX 9070 XT Reaper 16GB GDDR6 $880,47
Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC 16GB $932,40
Sapphire Radeon RX 9070 XT Pulse 16GB GDDR6 $958,35

Prices in my country with 23% VAT. I don't see any stock may appear later on.

For comparison 4070 Ti Super goes here from like $1092 to $1165,49 with 23% VAT.

Still worth it I think.

 

[Jinxed]

Also reading on reddit/forums from people who went physically to stores pretty much all got their cards. A lot in stock, some microcenter managers stating they had about 1000 cards in stock. Good job AMD, finally.

Good lord, what a dhit show.

So I was able to get an order on through Amazon for a PowerColor Red Devil for $799. More than I wanted to spend but I’m happy with it.

Red Devil cards are awesome. Congrats.

 

[Mr.ODST]

BOOM just secured the XT version and cancelled my 9070, Overclockers started working and got one for £650, lowest price I could get but tits the PowerColor Red Devil version

 

[Jinxed]

More in stock! Ordered the gigabyte instead of XFX. 20$ cheaper, I'll be able to pick which one I keep later.

 

[Crayon]

Okay let's see if mine gets cancelled in a bit .

Seemed too easy even for a 649 one. get for

Cancelled!

I cancelled it!

Because it was a $650 non xt!

Reading this, i knew that was starting to sound far too easy so i double checked my order and sho nuff.

 

[The Skull]

Ordered the XFX Mercury 9070 XT

 

[Kazdane]

Actually, hope you can get one sooner than later. But yeah, so far it looks like trying to get one online at MSRP anywhere (US or Europe) is pretty much a pipe dream...

Im not super disappointed. it was a hedge bet and i didnt need it... yet. Ill be sad later if theres nothing under 1000 a year from now.

AMD doesn't have the market share of Nvidia and there's already plenty of people trying to downplay these cards. I'd be surprised if the price doesn't come back down to MSRP in a couple weeks. And, supposedly, they also have more stock for AMD than Nvidia, which should help too...

 

[00_Zer0]

Well I tried at 9AM to secure a card and failed then I went to my local MicroCenter during my lunch break at work and didn't bother getting out of the car. There was a line wrapped around the side of the building, there had to be 50 plus people in line. I got a picture of the tail end of it. It's not the best pic, but I was still driving. I wasn't about to take off work the rest of the day just to get one of these cards.

Hopefully. Ironically, I was going to keep it sealed so I could check out the situation for a month. If they were being restocked at MSRP I could send it back lol. Or if the prices just went up a bit. But was going to keep it if prices got stupid. Well that plan is out the window! Just have to hope you're right.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

I will stop by my local MC this weekend and see if they get any $599 models in stock.

Otherwise I’ll keep my ASUS Prime i ordered from
Amazon for $729.

It’s scheduled to be delivered on Monday, so I have plenty of time to change my mind and see.

And no I’m not going to scalp…I ain’t got no time for that.

 

[StereoVsn]

Here in The Netherlands they are selling the 9070 XT for 1029 EUR. Motherfckers.

Clearly it’s the Trump tariffs. Oh wait…

 

[StereoVsn]

Microcenter near me had some cards most of the day, but it’s a 20 min drive and I can’t leave the office and run out today till like 6pm.

[asdasdasdbb]

I wonder how many of those are people who are interested in the card... and how many are scalpers...

 

[00_Zer0]

That's me

 

[JohnnyFootball]

yep it's outdated by now.

you people are hopelessly ridiculous.




FSR4 looks to be quite competitive with DLSS4, which shocked even me.

DLSS4 is still the best, but it's definitely not worth paying a premium for unless you're getting a 4080/5080 or 4090/5090

I tried it on Spiderman Remastered and HFW. Massive difference compared to “normal” FSR.

 

[MikeM]

This card purrs at lower workloads. COD at 4k 120fps capped is only consuming about 120w with brief spikes here and there. Thats a pretty large efficiency difference compared to the constant 300w my 7900xt was always pulling with the same settings.

You bought this despite already owning a 7900 XT? Wild.

 

[CobraAB]

Snagged a PowerColor Resper RX 9070 this morning at Microcenter in Houston.

$549.

They ran out of 9070 XT MSRP cards and was not going to pay $779 for the cheapest XT card they had.

I am happy.

Honestly I have a pretty good eye and I'd call it splitting hairs. Everyone can care as much or little as they want but as we know people can get a little dramatic. DLSS3 was better than native magic sorcery till five minutes ago.

 

[dorkimoe]

i wish these places would just let you place an order with the understanding it could be a bit.

 

[MikeM]

For what I sold my 7900xt for, my net cost for the 9070xt was only about $300 CAD. That includes the Asus TUF tax.

RT and FSR4 have made it worth it.

 

[Luipadre]

I hope the success of these cards will make devs to implement FSR4 to every new title

 

[Hyet]

Is fsr4 compatible with any other video card? It was hardware agnostic iirc

 

[Kilau]

Exclusive to the 9000 cards.

 

[MikeM]

I just did a search and its wild how much more Nvidia cards go for in Canada.

My 9070xt Asus TUF was $1,059 before tax. The 5070ti TUF retails for $1,449 before tax. $390 difference before tax… oooff

I mean you coulda just have bought a 4080 in the first place.

 

[BeardSpike]

Managed to snag a Gigabyte RX 9070 XT GAMING OC, that is if they not cancel my order. Will sell my RX 6700 XT without much loss but only when it arives.

 

[Luipadre]

looking forward to user impressions about the xt cards. Im playing the waiting game still

 

[MikeM]

The reference board was $1,699 in Canada before tax. AIBs were way more. The other problem was stock- impossible to get.

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

I got a Quicksilver XFX 9070XT. It's a huge card but it keeps temps at 60-62 celsius at all times during MH Wilds.

Mmmm to replace 6700 XT. The little work mule held its own for 4 years, but I want to replace it now so bad. Funny enough I am enhancing a game from 2001 and it is actually pushing this card to 97% and 84c when gaming, wild. But congrats dude. Hopefully the order is not cancelled.

It has arrived, my dudes. Funny thing there wasnt any official seal stickers on the box. But GPU is sealed in a foil with original stickers. And there are three power connectors so it's indeed XT model.

Gonna pair it with my R 5 7600 for now since securing GPU was more pressing for me.

Should I upgrade to R 7 9800x3d later on?

Btw, there is already a mod which replaces DLSS and FSR2+ and XeSS in any title with FSR4.

If I get this right, we can use FSR4 in any Nvidia sponsored title like Indiana Jones And The Great Circle now.

 

[b0uncyfr0]

Still struggling to find a xt in Europe under 800. Its damn tough.

I have a company so id like to cut a solid 20% of for VAT too.

Note that this doesn’t work 100% in all titles even if you can replace it. Games can crash. winjer posted about this in the thread.

Still, it’s a pretty cool tool.

It depends on your target. The 7600 still isn't bad.

Can't go wrong with a 9800x3d. You could also target a 7800x3d: cheaper (even used) and easier to find, it's still one of the best gaming cpus out there.

Universal Upscaling - XeSS FSR

This mod replaces DLSS with the latest version of XeSS or FSR in games that don't normally support them.

www.nexusmods.com

Maybe this will be updated, I even used this on Linux and replaced DLSS with XeSS on DP4a pass. Through Wine and I could load .reg file into a Prefix with built in registry manager in Lutris.

Couldn't we drop in FSR4 DLL and use it with this mod?

Yep, and with this card 7800x3D wouldn’t really be CPU limited.

I think yes, that’s part of it, but the issue as far as I know is that AMD didn’t set up .DLL structure with FSR as cleanly as Nvidia did with their DLSS .dll.

Depends on what resolution you're targeting.

If you're gaming at above 1440p the juice might not be worth the squeeze.
