AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT reportedly launches March 6

Hopefully they price this right. Assuming 9070XT is around 5070 Ti performance and 5070 Ti is $750, if they price is like..

$700 = 9070 XT DoA
$650 = Good but not killer price
$600 = 5070 Ti and 5070 DoA

I made some little back-of-the-envelope calculations with the leaked performance of the 9070XT, and if those are correct then the 9070XT should be ~5-10% faster than the 5070Ti (extrapolated by comparing the performance to the 4080, then taking the performance difference between the 5080 and 4080 and then comparing the specs of the 5070 Ti to those of the 5080), while the 9070 non-XT should be 12-20% faster than the 5070.

One question about the price of the 5070Ti (and possibly the 9070XT, though probably to a lesser extent) is that "Will they even sell at MSRP?". Most 5080 and 5090 non-FE models have a frankly ludicrous markup, so if the same happens with the 5070Ti then even a $700 pricetag could be well below the price most 5070Ti will be selling at. But I agree that it would be a bad view for AMD and my price expectations are more like $600 for the 9070XT and $500 for the 9070 non-XT, which if my performance predicitions stay true seem like a good price to me.
