Seems to be the only msrp model since PCCaseGear got their cards straight from powercolor, you can see the price now by googling the model at PCCaseGear

“ Stock levels are excellent - this is the best GPU launch availability we've ever seen for a GPU. We still have some shipments rolling in, so there may be further stock available the following days/weeks - we'll update this space if all our launch stock is sold out and we need to manage some timed releases, but we're hoping that will not be necessary.” - from https://www.pccasegear.com/rx9000

    • Still to expensive for this much performance,

      What else would you recommend then?

      • +3

        A box of Zyrtec and go play outside?

      • 7800XT 16GB is selling for around $700 today we are talking about almost $500 cheaper

        • +1

          And if someone wanted 9070 XT performance and not 7800 XT performance, then…?

        • +6

          Cheapest current price for a 7800XT new is $729, so that's a touch over $400 cheaper.

          With early reviews, the 1440p performance of the 9070XT hovers around 50% above that of the 7800XT - and in 4K it extends the lead. Add on ray tracing on top of that and it slaughters the 7800XT.

          https://www.neowin.net/reviews/amd-finally-gets-it-just-righ…

          • @nezumi: Real-world 1440p non-RT gaming performance difference between 7800XT and 9070XT is much much smaller.

            • @Heatherfield: In what "real world"? Most of the games in the article I linked are run without ray tracing, and in all but a few instances the 9070 XT easily beats the 7800 XT. It's not going to massively outperform it in everything - and there are still a couple of games where the drivers need work, but on the whole it performs at the same level as the 7900XTX at a lower cost.

              • +1

                @nezumi: It doesn't beat 7800XT by 50% in gaming without RT, more like 20-30%, which is far less than the price difference. Sometimes there is not much difference at all like in CS2.

              • +1

                @nezumi: https://youtu.be/VQB0i0v2mkg?t=883
                HUB benchmarks shows an average ~28% performance difference between the two at 1440p for example.

              • @nezumi: Not sure what the MSRP of the 7800XT was at launch it was under 1k I think, it would have been good to see AMD match the MSRP of the 7800XT while giving an increase in performance.

          • @nezumi: According to Hardware Unboxed the averages at 1440p in the 18 games tested are 93FPS for the 7800XT and 119FPS for the 9070XT. The 9070XT is 27% faster while it cost 56% more currently.

      • +5

        A Delorean to go back in time lol.
        I recommend people stop paying ridiculous prices for graphics cards. I feel that my 7800XT was to expensive sooo yea

  • Hopefully there are more than 1 white model available that is on pccasegear

  • There goes my sub 1k dream

    • Every time that I look in the mirror…….

    But $1400 is more than my laptop.

    Seen lots of cheap Chinese self driving cars lately. I smell an AMD's competitor is coming in the next few years.

      Lol.

    • +4

      Yes. Because I am feeling charitable, I will swap you by 9070XT (when it arrives) for your RTX4090 :)

    • Your 4090 is the second best card on the market, better than the 5080 and worse than the 5090

    TPU Relative Performance
    9070 XT 16GB vs 7800 XT 16GB

    1080p +41%
    1440p +45%
    4K +49%

    7800 XT average bargain price $700

    This 9070 XT is 63% more expensive than the 7800 XT for <50% gains

    Gaming power consumption - both raster and RT - is equal (!) to the highly inefficient chiplet 7900 XTX that also has an extra 8GB VRAM plus wider memory bus to light up

    FSR 4 is only in 30+ games with more "coming soon" and is guaranteed to be inferior to the DLSS4 Transformer model already running on RTX 20/30/40/50 series

    ROCm is again not supported on launch for the 9070 XT

    Neg away AMD Defence Force - as confirmed for the last 2 years, RDNA 3 was a failure and RDNA 4 is just playing catch up

    With the 9070 series, you get a set of marginally overpriced cards - rather than the FO pricing from NV - and the YouTubers and fanboys automatically start cheering

  • Sapphire Nitro XT+ $1559. Pure $1339. Pulse $1299 @ PC Case Gear

    Really hoping that MSY/Umart in TAS has some stock in. Only place I'd be able to pick one up tomorrow, otherwise I'll be waiting for shipping from the mainland.

    Here's optimum's review, looks to be a pretty good deal. Could be better, but given Nvidia no longer cares about their consumers and is chasing the AI gravy train, this is about as good as we'll get. Will they respond with price drops? Will Intel? (kidding).

    • i highly doubt it

  • Powercolor - Is it worth spending more for hellhound or red devil?
    $1139 reaper, $1239 hellhound, $1299 red devil.

    The product page shows hell hound and red devil has thicker heat pipes, and triple ring fans instead of normal fans.

    I have corsair 7000d case and put 7 fans on the side and the top.

    • +3

      I'm in the same boat as you - don't love how the reaper looks and wouldn't mind a more premium card. But paying that extra entirely kills the value proposition for me since we're already being slapped with the $180 australia tax

      • I just did some search, it seems the core temp and noise on 9070 XT Reaper seems alright.
        About 61° 42db.

        Vram temp was 92°, but not sure if it's sth concerning.

    • +1

      I’d personally go with the Reaper. It offers the best value while still delivering strong performance. The Hellhound and Red Devil have better cooling, but with your Corsair 7000D case and seven additional fans, airflow shouldn’t be an issue. At that price range, you’re also getting close to Nvidia options, and it gets tough not to start considering them.

      • +1

        yeah definetely sucks as i've only just had a taste of DLSS transformer model on my 3070 and now i'm going team red

        But I'm only going AMD for the value, and nothing more. If we're going to play the "pay $50-100 more for a slightly more premium model", you'll end up at the Nitro+ for nearly $1.5k. Might as well get a 5070ti then.

        • Hey man, I also have a 3070, and I used to have a PowerColor R9 390. I LOVED it. Can’t wait to get back to Team Red!

    This does raise the question, how many people actually cares about all the extra features?

    From a pure rasturisation POV, this is ok value. Nothing like the fps per dollar like 6600 or 6700 of ye ole (or the legendary Polaris/Pascal for that matter). The 6800xt launched at $1080aud, so this mid range card is more expensive than the flagship from AMD 5 years ago.

    If you care about things like ray tracing, streaming, media codec, FSR suite, and AI, this card has alot of value. But if all you care about is just pure rasturisation, a 6800xt holder is only looking for 30% fps increase for about the same price. Definitely a noticeable upgrade, but a disappointing improvement for 5 years of waiting.

    • I'm upgrading from an RX 480 8GB. It has been amazing, but started to have a few monitor issues, so not sure if something is starting to go now.

      All of those features… I don't care about them. I only use Linux, for gaming, personal use, and work, so I wouldn't go Nvidia, even if I wanted to pay them their crazy prices. It does mean that none of those features are really that well supported, if at all. I just care about the drivers and their Linux support. If I get another 8 years out of it, I'll be happy.

    • Just fyi $1080 in 2020 is around $1290 in today's money going off the RBA calculator, so not quite more expensive (but close!)

      Good fps per dollar is but a pipe dream these days .😭

      • Damn, just checked my RX 480, that was around $377 back in 2017. Today that would be $470. Boy would I like a new card for that price.

        • +1

          Arc B580 12GB $439

          240%+ faster than your RX 480

          Solid open source Linux drivers

          • @You Were Warned: Be careful with suggesting that to a rx480 user, their CPU might not be good for it lol.

        • Yeah the Polaris and Pascal prices were insane. Second hand builds were 300 bucks and a full PC with the cheapest parts for best spec was $1000.

          If I didn't care about strategy games and modded Minecraft, I would've just stuck with console gaming. The software prices are just as competitive, and the hardware is flat $750. No need to over compensate with unoptimised garbages with $3000 worth of brute force GPU processing.

      This does raise the question, how many people actually cares about all the extra features?

      Enough that AMD has been dragged kicking and screaming to support them

      RT = we were told raster was king with the 7900 XTX so why the full 180 with RDNA 4?

      Streaming = AMF still sucks. AMD's hardware encoder still produces the worst quality video compared to NVIDIA and Intel

      Media codec = this works because AMD had to get this right for their iGPU power consumption

      FSR = still garbage. FSR 4 machine learning upscaling only supported in a small amount of games and does not work on RDNA 3 cards - even expensive ones - like the 7900 XT and 7900 XTX

      AI = 9070 series along with most RDNA 3 consumer cards not supported on AMD's own ROCm platform. Anything cutting edge or worth playing with is CUDA based

      TLDR, AMD feature support and software is garbage because fundamentally they are copying NVIDIA's features with a massively smaller and lower quality pool of developers

    • A launch price of $1080 for the 6800 XT converts to close to $1300 accounting for inflation (approximately).

      It was also basically impossible to get for that price, out of stock for months and months, and subsequently only available at extreme scalper mark ups (I had a Sapphire Nitro+ on order with Scorptec for the better part of a year before they finally cancelled my order on me). It also launched in like October or November of 2020 so we're closer to 4 years than 5.

      If you managed to be one of the lucky few to snag a 6800 XT at launch prices, hold onto it for another generation and hopefully you'll have some more compelling upgrade options.

      I ended up with an RTX 3070 a year later for $1229 (or around $1400 with inflation). While one of the sale prices on a 4080 or 4080 Super for ~$1350/$1400 6-9 months ago was probably the better overall package in this class of performance, I don't have a Tardis, and a 9070 XT is currently the closest thing to the ~90%-100% performance increase I'd be happy with at a similar price to my 3070.

      So I'll give it a go, and if I miss out, I guess I'm squeezing 2025 and 2026 into 8GB of VRAM!

  • I'm thinking of selling my 3060ti to get this, very tempting

  • I really want to go to 1440p, and this is probably one of my best value options for a GPU, but after I factor in the cost of a new 750W PSU, and monitor it's probably going to set me back $1539 - $2169 depending on if I go OLED or not.. why does the base model 9070 have to be such poor value at $1049 ugh!

    • 9070XT + 1440p ultrawide non oled (~$500)
      Then upgrade to OLED later when you feel

  • Have a 3090 watercooled Neptune.. reckon i should get this and sell my 3090 while AI is still hot for 3090s?

    Probably can still get $1500 for it.

    I want to try VR skyrim/fallout with mods

  • Here is the Powercolor Reaper review, 10/10 MASTERPIECE:
    https://www.ign.com/articles/amd-radeon-rx-9070-xt-review

    • Likewise, in Monster Hunter Wilds, the 9070 XT was able to get 94 fps at 4K max settings with both FSR 3 and ray tracing enabled, but dropped to 78 fps when using FSR 4 – a 20% drop in performance.

      Surprise

      When you actually need ML upscaling, FSR 4 crumples because RDNA 4 cannot handle heavier simultaneous RT + AI upscaling workloads

      9070 XT = 20% cheaper than the 7900 XTX for 10-15% less performance

    WOW the website is down

    • Aaaand it's gone…

  • +1

    Website is down, but I managed to order a XT Reaper through scorptec. Stock of all the cheaper models went quick though.

    Still a few of the more expensive ones available in stock

  • Managed to order Reaper XT from PCCG. Lots of refresh and re-entries….
    UPD. Received confirmation email @ 1:03am.

  • Sites dead lol

  • Site down. Payment seems to have gone through but site crashed after that.

  • I placed a pickup order after 2 mins. Haven't paid but I'm not sure if it puts me ahead and reserves a card? Received the order confirmation in email.

  • scorptec have lots, sites running fine.

    • sadly too late, their website was a joke I searched and it took me direct to some CPU water cooling parts…

  • SITE DOWN and sold out……..not sure WTF was going on as I was able to enter the checkout page but the submit order button simple didn't response…

  • is it worth pair with 5900x? i play on 1440p

  • +2

    Had one in cart going through checkout…sold out :(

    • same here

  • Looks like I placed an order, I have one in my account, but it is listed as "Pending", so perhaps I was too slow :shrug: If I don't get it, Umart seem to have (had?) some Sapphire cards, so might try there in the morning.

    Edit: Just got the email confirmation, guess that means I got one.

  • +1

    For those looking, Centrecom still have some decent stock: https://www.centrecom.com.au/amd-radeon-rx-9000-series-graph…

  • Managed to get one with a lot of refreshing the website and patience. I was also looking at all the other stores. Noticed only PC Case Gear had the only model at MSRP. Apparently Scorptec were expecting 800 or so of the 9070xt so the fact they still all sold out is pretty amazing for an AMD card.

  • Thats crazy, scorptec was sold out in 1 minute
    PCCG sold out in 10 because the site was down for ages
    Got one from centrecom which looks to have worked

  • Whats funny is all the vendors bragging about stock and price then people just believed them

  • Centrecom still has stocks, but a bit expensive + surcharges.
    Ended up getting powercolor hellhound at $1239+surcharge, as somehow their reaper was $1199+surcharge.

      they updated price to 1139 AFTER it's sold out lmao

      • lol dang it!

        wtf how is that legal?

  • Reaper sold out on multiple sites within minutes sigh.

  • I think I got a sapphire pulse through PCCG. Took about 5 attempts checking out with Paypal. Went out of stock a couple minutes after i finally got an order confirmation. I really hope they didnt over sell and start cancelling orders..

    • If you're worried, Centre Com still have them in stock at the same price. Pathetically, the Sapphire Pulse was meant to be one of the MSRP models, but the Australian distributors were having none of that. Absolute scumbags!

    Yeah I got a conf email for the reaper xt from pccg. Hope it's legit and they didn't oversell or dupe, bank account has been debited. Was rushing and picked standard instead of express post lol.

      Same. I had it in my cart really quickly, but then took ages to actually get the checkout to process, so not sure if it'll actually be honoured. Email came through at 01:09, so pretty late in the queue :-/

        Exact same here in every respect. Gl. I actually didn't want to risk changing the postage selection in case it needed further loading and gave me another "maintenance" page lol.

    Website really failed me and I missed out on this card which would actually fit my SFF build. Pretty devastated.

    • I did some research and had a couple lined up, but steel legend was my goal. That was sold out within 20 seconds I think.

    • I managed to grab a Sapphire Pulse 9070xt which looks like it will fit in my wifes A4-H2O. I was originally going to try get the Reaper, but Im glad i didnt, because that seems to have been way more popular. It sold out while i was still screwing around with the PCCG checkout page.
      The Sapphire has 2 HDMI ports which will come in handy for me anyway..

    • +2

      there's more stock coming, i wouldnt be too cut. hopefully itll be at or near msrp.

  • anyone want to swap my hellhound for reaper lol, realised hellhound doesnt fit in my case

    • Where abouts are you? Victoria?

  • +1

    Not to be a hater/greedia shill here - but I'm not quite seeing how the 9070xt given current pricing is such a deal? For transparency sake, I am currently using a 4070ti super for 1289$ bought a year back, yet thats not the atl by far when I remember seeing quite a few 4070ti s deals edging around the price of this last year; and at least given from what im seeing from GN and hardware unboxed the 9070xt isnt not doing much above a 4070ti super in most games - or even beaten in a few to make this much of a deal given its 'a gen newer' at the same price - i guess you can argue that 4070ti supers arent onsale now so this would make a deal but given this is the msrp price surely we can do better because you are paying the same for little to no performance uplift now that we are a year down the line? Not trying to go all 'HODL' but given that we are promised sufficient supply for this gen surely this price should stay at the very least?

    • +2

      Yeah I just got a 9070 xt reaper $1139 and I wish I'd just got a 4070 ti super at $1132 last November. Time's passed though and this is the closest I can get. There's probably a lot of people who feel the same as me in hindsight but were told to hodl by more knowledgeable peeps for the 50 series which ended up a disappointment.

      • +2

        more knowledgeable peeps for the 50 series which ended up a disappointment

        man was that a disappointment, probably even the biggest tech scam of all time, havent seen such a bs gen to gen ‘gain' in a long time but probably more of that to come
