Redditor snaps up early RX 9070 XT GPU for $950 — delivery date slated for March 10

RX 9070 XT Listing.

A Sapphire Nitro+ RX 9070 XT Gaming OC listing accidentally went live on Amazon, and a Reddit user had just enough time to place an order with a reported March 10 delivery date. The shared invoice is quoted at CAD 1,365, which translates to almost $950 before taxes.

The Redditor paid what is equivalent to Nvidia's set MSRP for the RTX 5080, though you'd be hard-pressed to find any model available in stock. Amazon has promptly taken down the listing. The buyer managed to secure an order in hopes of performance similar to the elusive RTX 5080. However, it's a considerable risk since the graphics card isn't out yet, so there are no reviews to see its performance. The user hasn't been charged as of writing, indicating that Amazon will likely cancel the order. Besides, paying such an exorbitant amount for a soon-to-launch GPU doesn't make sense, especially if the card doesn't arrive before the embargo date and lacks driver support.
