"Best Places to Buy AMD Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT Graphics Cards"

If you held off on Nvidia's Blackwell GPUs to see what AMD had in store, you've made a smart move. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT have emerged as the mid-range champions of this generation, delivering outstanding performance at a price that undercuts their Nvidia counterparts. **They'll be available for purchase starting March 6 at 6am PST**. The Radeon RX 9070 starts at $550, while the RX 9070 XT is priced at $600. Let's hope AMD manages its supply better than Nvidia did.

While it's uncertain whether the inventory will last, these GPUs are well-positioned to sell out quickly due to their competitive edge. Below, I've listed the best places to snag one of these cards. The trend suggests that if you're set on buying a GPU at launch, you can't afford to be picky about the brand or model. If you spot one in stock at a price you're comfortable with, it's best to act fast and think later.

TLDR: This article assumes, not guarantees, that there will be graphics cards available for purchase. You might visit this page only to find that every model at every retailer is sold out.

How much will these new AMD GPUs cost?

The allure of these new AMD cards lies in their exceptional price-to-performance ratio. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 matches the price of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 while delivering superior performance and more VRAM. The Radeon RX 9070 XT, priced $150 less than the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, goes toe-to-toe with it in performance. If these suggested retail prices hold, AMD's offerings are clear winners.

Where should I preorder these new AMD GPUs?

Your best bet to secure one of these new AMD GPUs is to check the following retailers. Best Buy, Newegg, and Amazon will have online listings, while Micro Center will sell them in-store. Although the exact number of units available at each retailer is unknown, it's reported that "AMD and AIBs are shipping more Radeon RX 9070 XTs than all Nvidia's RTX 50 series GPUs combined." To maximize your chances on launch day, check each retailer and purchase the first card you can successfully check out with, keeping in mind that many others will be doing the same.

Amazon

Amazon is a go-to for many, but finding these GPUs can be tricky due to the lack of a dedicated video card listing page and the presence of marketplace vendors with inflated prices or scams. For ease, I'll list specific GPU models as they become available. Always ensure the vendor is "shipped and sold by Amazon."

Best Buy

Based on past GPU launches, Best Buy might be one of your best online options. They should carry all brands available at launch, including Sapphire, XFX, Asus, Asrock, Gigabyte, and Powercolor. Your chances of getting a GPU here are higher if you live in an area with lower demand. Best Buy's quick shipping means you could have your card within a week.

Newegg

Newegg is another top priority, expected to carry all models of the Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT. As an authorized reseller, buying directly from Newegg ensures you get the full manufacturer's warranty. Like Best Buy, expect quick shipping unless the product is backordered or out of stock. Newegg may also offer these GPUs in bundle kits, which can be advantageous if you're building a PC.

Micro Center (In-Store)

If you live near a Micro Center, it's your best bet for getting an AMD GPU on launch day. They typically reserve sales for in-store customers, so arrive early—ideally when the store opens—to secure your card.

We reviewed both AMD graphics cards

We gave the AMD Radeon RX 9070 an 8/10 rating. It matches the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 in price but outperforms it in most games we tested, with the added benefit of more VRAM (16GB vs 12GB), enhancing its future-proofing. Power consumption is similar to the RTX 5070.

AMD Radeon RX 9070 Review by Jacqueline Thomas

"The AMD Radeon RX 9070 is an exceptional 1440p graphics card that renders the competition nearly irrelevant. It delivers stellar 1440p performance, often reaching high refresh rates even without frame generation, and includes an AI upscaler for enhanced image quality. The only limitation is its proximity to the Radeon RX 9070 XT in terms of performance."

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT earned a perfect 10/10. Priced $150 less than the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, it outperforms it in several games we tested, with some benchmarks showing a significant lead. It also comes with 16GB of VRAM. However, it consumes more power and runs hotter than the RTX 5070 Ti.

AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Review by Jacqueline Thomas

"Since 2020, PC gaming has been on a downward spiral, but the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT reminds us it doesn't have to be. This card handles any game at 4K with ray tracing enabled, at a price that makes competitors look exorbitant. While it's uncertain if the launch price will hold, the industry needs more GPUs like the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT."
