A Bulgarian retailer previously stated that AMD delayed the launch of the Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT, and that the latter was priced at 500 Bulgarian Levs more than the 7900 XT. VideoCardz calculated that this meant the RX 9070 XT would retail at around $899, while the vanilla RX 9070 would be $749. Moreover, the original launch date of the first RX 9000 cards was claimed to be January 23. However, AMD Chief Architect of Gaming Solutions and Gaming Marketing Frank Azor has now clarified that an $899 starting price for the RX 9070 XT “was never part of the plan.”
While we aren’t going to comment on all the price rumors, I can say that an $899 USD starting price point was never part of the plan.January 27, 2025
