If you held off on Nvidia's Blackwell GPUs to see what AMD had in store, you made a wise decision. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT graphics cards are the new mid-range champions of this generation, delivering exceptional performance at a more affordable price than their Nvidia counterparts. **Mark your calendars for March 6, as these GPUs will be available starting at 6am PST**. The Radeon RX 9070 is priced at $550, while the RX 9070 XT comes in at $600. Let's hope AMD manages its supply better than Nvidia has in the past.

While it's uncertain if inventory will be sufficient, these GPUs are so well-positioned in the market that they're likely to sell out fast. Below, I've listed the best places to snag one of these cards. The current trend suggests that if you're looking to buy a GPU on launch day, you can't afford to be picky about the brand or model. If you find one in stock at a price you're comfortable with, it's best to act quickly and purchase it.

**TLDR;** This article assumes, not guarantees, that there will be graphics cards available for purchase. You might visit this page and find that every model at every retailer is sold out.

How much will these new AMD GPUs cost?

One of the key reasons these new AMD cards are expected to be popular is their impressive price-to-performance ratio. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 matches the price of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 but delivers superior performance and more VRAM for the same cost. Even more impressively, the Radeon RX 9070 XT competes with the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti while being $150 cheaper. While we hope these suggested retail prices remain stable, if they do, the choice is clear.

AMD Radeon RX 9070 - $550
AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT - $600

Where should I preorder these new AMD GPUs?

The retailers listed below offer the best chances to secure one of the new AMD GPUs. Three of them (Best Buy, Newegg, and Amazon) will have listings online, while Micro Center will only carry them in-store. It's hard to predict the exact number of units available at each retailer, but according to Wccftech, "AMD and AIBs are reportedly shipping more Radeon RX 9070 XTs than all Nvidia's RTX 50 series GPUs combined."

To increase your chances of getting a new AMD card on launch day, check each retailer and purchase the first card that allows you to complete the checkout process. Keep in mind that you'll be competing with thousands of others clicking on the same links.

Amazon is a one-stop shop for nearly everything, including AMD GPUs. However, finding these GPUs on Amazon can be challenging due to the lack of a dedicated page for video cards and the presence of marketplace vendors with inflated prices or scams. To simplify your search, I'll update this section with specific GPU models as they become available. Always ensure that the vendor is "shipped and sold by Amazon."

Best Buy

Based on past GPU launches, Best Buy is likely one of your best bets for purchasing these new AMD graphics cards online. They should carry every brand available at launch, including Sapphire, XFX, Asus, Asrock, Gigabyte, and Powercolor.

Best Buy's inventory varies by region; if you live in an area with lower demand for graphics cards, you might have a better chance of securing one here than anywhere else. Additionally, Best Buy typically ships GPU orders quickly, with items listed as either in stock or out of stock, ensuring you receive your card within a week.

Newegg

Newegg is another priority for securing these GPUs. Like Best Buy, they are expected to carry every make and model of the Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT graphics cards. As an authorized reseller, buying directly from Newegg ensures you're covered by the full manufacturer's warranty. Orders usually ship within the week, unless the product is backordered or out of stock.

Even if standalone cards are sold out, Newegg may offer these AMD GPUs as part of bundle kits that include a motherboard, CPU, RAM, or power supply. If you're building a PC and haven't bought all components yet, these bundles could be advantageous. They tend to sell out slower than standalone cards.

Micro Center (In-Store)

If you live near a Micro Center, it's your best chance to get an AMD GPU on launch day. Micro Center typically reserves all GPU sales for in-store customers. Even if you're local, arrive early, ideally when the store opens, to maximize your chances.

We reviewed both AMD graphics cards

We rated the AMD Radeon RX 9070 an 8/10. It matches the price of the new Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 but offers better performance in most games we tested and comes with more VRAM (16GB vs 12GB), making it more future-proof. It also consumes about the same amount of power as the RTX 5070.

**AMD Radeon RX 9070 Review by Jacqueline Thomas**

"The AMD Radeon RX 9070 is an outstanding 1440p graphics card that renders the competition irrelevant. It delivers excellent 1440p performance, often achieving high refresh rates even without frame generation, and includes an AI upscaler for enhanced image quality. The only downside is its proximity in performance to the Radeon RX 9070 XT."

We gave the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT a perfect 10/10 score. Despite being $150 less than the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, the 9070 XT outperforms it in several games. In some benchmarks, the difference is significant. The 9070 XT also features 16GB of VRAM, matching the 9070 and 5070 Ti. However, it does consume more power and runs hotter on average than the RTX 5070 Ti.

**AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Review by Jacqueline Thomas**

"Since 2020, PC gaming has seen a decline, but the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT serves as a beacon of hope. This graphics card can handle any game at 4K with ray tracing enabled, and does so at a price that puts the competition to shame. While it's uncertain if the launch price will hold, the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT is a clear sign that we need more affordable, high-performance graphics cards."
