AMD teases Radeon RX 9070 focusing on sub-$700 price point

Least the official msrp won't be above $700 but without the reference model from AMD, there's a chance AIBs takes pricing into their own hands like with 5070 Ti.

But ultimately Radeon needs to make sure they price it correctly. Personally $700 would be DoA for 9070 XT. $650 is decent but really, if they want to truly gain market share, $600 or less would be ideal imo and some reviewers like HUB are even suggesting $550 which would be nuts. But we will find out in a couple days.

Indeed, it's their tried and proved to fail strategy of Nvidia's MSRP -$50, that leads to nowhere other than people holding their purchaes because they know AMD will lower the price soon after launch.

But well, it's their company and they're allowed to run it in the worst possible way they seem fit. If the leaked prices and performance numbers are to be believed.

Let's hope they've really fixed that problem and the fix doesn't cause more issues (you can't rule out anything this gen with Nvidia).

DOA. Expect AMD's exit from the DGPU market next gen; unless people actually buy these. Their market share is dangerously low; they need a massive success.

I'm baffled by some of the mark-ups some companies are trying. But since the store removed some of them, maybe they were just wild placeholders.

Still, I'm not sure if AMD is out of its mind or just plain dumb. The small $50 between the two 9070 is ridiculous. Not only because we saw how the upselling strategy failed badly with the 7900XT and 7900XTX to the point they had to lower the price of the former not even three months later to be able to sell some units, but because the 9070 will likely go face to face with the 5070... which is a $549 part! It's just nuts!
