I don't make a habit of quoting myself, but no sooner than I post this I see this news.

Even if the pricing is at the $550 level, this is a major fumble. This gives Nvidia all of February to themselves. This is huge missed opportunity for AMD if they wish to gain marketshare. They had an uphill battle anyway and now people waiting to upgrade will just  buy 50 series cards and be done with it. There has to be some sort of driver issue, retailers are already getting cards in stock. WTF AMD.

Like clock work. Every dang generation, they just have to goof something up. Launching in March when retailers already have AIB versions of their cards in hand? Are they fucking serious?

I saw where a Ukrainian retailer has gotten 9070 series cards. Given what going on there, retailer avaialibility in general has to be wide spread. You can not make this "stuff" up.
