The prices are inflated for Nvidia for sure due to the low stock levels which I think will eventually balance out in the upcoming months and we will start to see models be closer to that MSRP as supply catches up with demand. What Radeon needs to do is make sure the MSRP they are going to announce is based on not the current market prices of Nvidia counterparts but rather MSRP and performance of what Nvidia already announced.

Because if Radeon makes the mistake of pricing 9070 XT at say $700 USD due to current market trends, reviewers will compare to 5070 Ti with it's MSRP of $750 and likely shit on it greatly which is something Radeon can't afford to happen again. Radeon should price the 9070 XT correctly and then let AIBs adjust the prices based on market conditions like they are doing with RTX 5000. That way reviewers won't bash on them while letting AIBs have their way with prices until the market settles down.

I don't think the prices wil come down. I think Nvidia pulled a fast one. It's like the car dealership that advertises a model at a low price when there is only 1 car on the lot at that price and the rest of them are thousands of dollar more. It allows them to advertise an MSRP that is for all intents and purposes BS. Technically that's not false adverstising, but the effect is the same. All that said, if the 5070 TI is $750. The 9070XT should be $600 at most. But it is AMD's Radeon division, so they'll screw it up somehow. Pricing their cards correctly at launch seems to be a completey foreign concept to them.
