AMD Board Partners Silently Increase Prices Of Radeon RX 9070 Series; Base Models Priced At Up To $130 Higher

I understand AMD not wanting to pay or subsidise for none MSRP cards, but it's not hard to guess how things will play out when you don't make reference cards.

And it's not like AMD is in a position to demand anything from AIBs. After all, with a 10% marketshare, it's a wonder how so many of them still bother making AMD cards, and if AMD went to add extra restrictions, Asus or GigaByte may say by and focus only on Nvidia. And now that I mentioned them, not even Nvidia, with its tighter grip, has done anything to force its partners to make more MSRP cards, at least that we know.

So yeah, it's a bad situation and we're basically screwed.

On another note, another round of news tomorrow or is this your last one before your vacations?

Yea, would have been nice if AMD had a reference model that was an anchor but it is what it is. Least supplies are slowly improving so in the coming months, should hopefully settle down and have cards that are at msrp.

I usually don't do news on Saturdays unless it's interesting or worth posting about. So unless that happens, today will likely be my last round of news till April.
