Canadian retailer has listed several custom AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 GPUs, starting at CAD $839, all the way to CAD$1,049.
PowerColor and XFX Radeon RX 9070 Series GPUs Listed By Canada Computers, Revealing Early Pricing Trends
Apart from AMD, its AIB partners now seem prepared to launch the Radeon RX 9070 series GPUs. While we are roughly a month away from seeing these GPUs on the shelves, some retailers have already started listing some of the custom editions. It should be no surprise to see these GPUs on retailers since AMD's board partners already showcased them at CES.
AMD has delayed the launch several times, citing reasons such as driver stack optimization. However, if AMD goes by its current plan, the RX 9070 GPUs will launch in March. At the moment, the popular Canadian retailer Canada Computers has listed several custom RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 editions on the website. These include GPUs from PowerColor and XFX and reveal the early pricing trends, but unfortunately, the listings have now been taken down.
Please keep in mind that these prices can be placeholders and are subject to change since we are several weeks away from the official launch. As you can see in this screenshot, the PowerColor RX 9070 GPUs start at CAD $839 for the Reaper edition, which translates to $586. This is the cheapest RX 9070 GPU from the vendor, while the most expensive RX 9070 GPU, the Red Devil edition, is sitting at CAD $919 or $642.
Meanwhile, AMD's Radeon RX 9070 XT GPUs start at CAD $999 or $698 for the Reaper edition and up to CAD $1,239 or $836 for the Red Devil edition. On the other hand, the XFX series is a bit on the expensive side, with the cheapest RX 9070 card listed for CAD $949 or $664. The cheapest XFX RX 9070 XT is the Swift White Gaming edition for CAD$1,099 or $769.
These prices aren't final, but if these come out to be true, then it's probably going to be over for AMD. We did hear reports about AMD going aggressive in pricing, which should bring out much lower prices than we are seeing here. One thing to note here is that the AIB editions do go higher in MSRP than the reference GPUs, and it's best to wait for AMD's official announcement on the prices.
