Great price…F Nvidia and greedy Jensen.
And I will wait for 6080 Super, If its overpriced I will wait for 7080.
I will just wait…. Forever!
Personally, I'm waiting for the 10080, because the 1080 was so good, so surely 10x gotta be great too…. right?
Just keep swimming waiting
Just keep swimming waiting crying
Not even the same class of card. What a silly comment. 5070 Super might be the comparative card, but let's not make assumptions about either performance or pricing.
Sub 1k 9070 XT is known good value.
Tempting to replace my gigabyte model… will my indecisiveness make me miss this deal again?
There will always be another deal
XFX Swift also available for that price https://www.mwave.com.au/product/xfx-amd-radeon-rx-9070xt-sw…
Also gigabyte gaming, but noisy cooler and would not recommend unless it’s last resort:

I have a gigabyte 6800xt and I de-shrouded it and used my own fans and its got way better thermals and way quieter.
The Swift is ever so slightly better in temps than the Pulse, according to Hardware Unboxed. But its not much of a muchness. I'd hazard to guess that its entirely dependent on the luck of the buyer.
Two hdmi outputs is pretty good, sometimes only one can be limiting
Peeps been getting mwave orders no probs ? Albeit sometimes a bit delayed of late?
That’s the big question for me.
I purchased an ethernet cable from them on the 28th, it was marked 3-5 days dispatch from supplier and still marked as processing
=/
Hai. I used to work for Mwave years ago. (though with digi buyin em/over time changes, what I say may be incorrect as a disclaimer. I've not had direct association since 2016 though).
3-5 days from supplier means 3-5 business days not including ordering/processing/packing time specifically.
If the item is niche/not common (maybe a super fancy cat7 50m cable or something or rather) it usually means it's not in a standard purchase rotation/bulk buy and would be ordered in for you specifically (not held at warehouse). 3-5 days usually means a domestic supplier, but often not in Sydney where Mwave is based. Syd also had a public holiday 6th. Different suppliers also tend to only ship once a business week in bulk based on orders, rather than 'oh this guy ordered this thing, let's send this one item to mwave warehouse'.
Sooo you're at around ~6-7 business days actual atm - assuming you paid CC it'd be instant but Bpay/direct debit also adds another full day to process/approve initially.
I'd say if not shipped by end of week it's worth following up.. But given the PH you're at the end of what I'd expect a 3-5 dayer to take unfortunately. Best to assume any 'at supplier' items are almost always the latter number + 1 day for delivery to them/processing/packing at minimum.
Ideally only ever buy 'In Stock at Mwave' items with paypal/cc if you want to ensure stock.
Yep was going to leave it until the end of the week to followup if needed, and cable is 30m cat6 for the curious
Ordered something on a weekend. It shipped Monday, arrived Tuesday (I'm in Sydney, though, so didn't have to travel interstate)
Ordered a 9070 last week, received it within 2 days. Biting my ass because I should have waited for this XT…
That sold it for me. Ordered one. Thanks for the feedback!
And shipped this morning!
Just ask if you can return for a full refund, good chance they'll honour it.
I ordered a 9800x3d from them last month and got it within a week using standard shipping.
A lot of other people from other posts have also confirmed that they've received their orders with no issues :D
My company uses MWave and I mentioed the receivership to our IT guy.
He says he got a letter last week confirming they had been purchased. He is getting orders shipped weekly with no delay.
YMMV
Save yourself the hassle of dealing with Mwave, I've reported them to Fair Trading and ACCC. They're definitely pulling off some dodgy stuff, I've ordered stuff from them on the 21st of September, they're literally 15mins from my place. Its 8th of October, I've had stuff ordered from the UK get here more than a week ago. I've tried contacting them over a week to finally get a reply 5 days later. Blaming the supplier and saying thank you for your patience… My whole rig was shipped from around the world and the one closest to me, still hasn't been delivered. Reported them to Fair Trading and ACCC, knowingly putting dispatch times that aren't achievable is false advertising and then feigning ignorance thinking they can get away with it.
Ordered 9070xt nitro+ on 26th sep (fri) as soon as i saw the sale(which seems to have un-expired).
Received the gpu on friday 3/10 and installed it for the weekend gaming sesh, she's been purring ever since. Though at one point it said delivery would have been Tuesday 7/10.
Pretty happy with the delivery time tbh.
Damn, now I just need @Nebula PC to update their 9800X3D BYO GPU deal 😬
Bro its not happening hey. I've asked them twice and both times they've said they'll "get it done" then a couple of others have piped up and it was "we'll look into the feasibility". It's been more than a week now since then.
Seriously all I've been waiting for as well man.
Nice to see 9070XT dropping below 1k
How does the Pulse rank among the other 9070XT's?
All 9070XTs tested by HUB were decent. Pulse lands in the middle.
I would say avoid the gigabyte gaming. The DB value makes it seem acceptable, but the tone is rather high pitched and is annoying if you’re not wearing headphones.
Heavily outselling the 5070Ti according to Hardware Unboxed which is pretty cool. So expect some price drops for the GeForce cards in the near future if you are in the market for one.
It's crazy that its outselling current gen Nvidia but doesnt make a dent on the steam hardware surveys.
Lot of that figures are from 8gb low end nvidia cards. Probably from prebuilts and laptop gpus which nvidia traditionally dominate. Take most of those out and it dont look too impressive.
Also 9000 series are not correctly showing because it shows as radeon cards. I have integrated graphics on my ryzen 7600 and it picks up the info as radeon instead of 9070xt. The steam survey radeon ones at 2% and 1.95% are most likely 9070 and 9060 cards.
I'm on my fourth gaming pc build, and I've only been promoted to do the survey twice.
Nah, those of us who even consider buying a GPU for more than four hundred bucks are just a much smaller niche than we seem.
OzBargain GPU threads like this, reddit post comments about gaming hardware, and such, are our little bubble, not a significant chunk of the whole market.
No surprise there. Gamers are just buying the better option out of 5070ti and 9070xt and its same for 5060ti and 9060xt.
Amd is not the cr*p cheap alternative that you get now. Its a competitive product that will give you a similar gaming experience for a lot less.
Comparative raster, rt and fsr 4 and less to none cpu overhead that you see in nvidia gpu's. Good all rounder card that packs a punch.
Outselling in retail in Australia yeah, probably not in the Gaming PC market like Lenovo and Alienware.
I've had this since launch and it's a ripper GPU, and this is a legit price. Doubled the performance of my 2080ti, couldn't be happier, highly recommended.
Xfx should be the best of the $979 bunch?
nitro+ also available for 1160
Reckon its worth the extra near $200? Near 20% increase.
Probably not, but it does look very nice. One small tiny worry is that it has the 12V-2x6 power connector.
It does have some of the best performance of the RX 9070 XTs, like the PowerColor Red Devil and XFX Mercury OC.
personally dont think so
Would Black Friday be better time and price to buy GPU ?
Probably yeah, but thats a whole just under two months away.
Base on my experience of the last 2-3 BF, it's rarely have the better price than other times like Prime day or Afterpay Day. Especially ATL for GPUs seems randomly hit over the year, not specifically any promotion days
Is this 9070XT 16GB going to be $900 better than my current (5 year old) RTX 3070 8GB card? 1440p gaming.
Any newer games are being set as 'mid' type settings for them to work best. Most issues I remember having was with The Suicide Squad which just stuttered like no tomorrow, but it could have also been the fact the game wasn't very well made.
This is about 50% faster than a 3070. Is that worth $900? You're the only one that can decide that.
$900 could've gotten you a 3080 back then
This is almost twice as fast as the 3070 in 4K/1440p and 50% faster than a 3080, not to mention the vram
https://www.techpowerup.com/review/sapphire-radeon-rx-9070-x…
Average fps will definitely be much higher, as for the stutter most UE5 games will still stutter
I moved from a 3060 Ti to a 9070 non xt and got massive gains.
A 3070 to 9070 xt should be fairly similar tbh.
That said, there wasn't really a game my 3060 Ti couldnt run at 25601440 reasonably well. I moved to 34401440 and so the jump was worth it for me.
In your case, if you dont care for medium vs ultra settings and it all runs fine minus the odd hitch, you could always wait for a black Friday deal.
My 3060 Ti went to my partners rig to replaced her 1050 Ti but you could make a good chunk back selling the 3070.
I think the upgrade is worth it in a straight numbers game, but it's subjective as to whether 900 something is worth the frames or fidelity over what you run now.
That 1050Ti had a good run! Was alright value back in its heyday.
It performed surprisingly well at 1080p when it was new! A 200 dollar AUD card that could run every game (albeit on low/medium at the time) but it was more than enough for a while for my brother - til I gave him my 1070. Then I had it spare, threw it in a fractal terra with a SF450, my old ryzen 2600 and 16GB of RAM and boom wife had a half decent gaming computer - she loves cozy games so they're often just pixel games!
But we might wanna play Enshrouded on full release together so figured I'd just give her my 3060 Ti and lower the power limit substantially to reduce power use/heat/temps.
…Turns out her PC runs cooler than mine! She also got my old 5600X lol. And my 27" 1440p 170hz monitor! Set for years.
Saving the 1050 Ti for troubleshooting days heh. Small and no PCIE connector makes it an amazing test card/bench card for a display (if no igpu like the 5600x)
The 3070 was a beast in it's generation but the 8GB VRAM is really holding it back these days. I have an ultrawide monitor and could really feel it struggle in some of the latest titles.
No point replacing a 7800XT, is there?
No 7000 series gets new life by being able to enable fsr 4. Its still a great card but even better with being able to use fsr 4 now.
I thought the 7800xt doesn't support FSR4? Needs to be a 9000 series card?
There's a workaround that doesn't perform as well as native FSR 4 but looks very close. Either way, miles ahead of FSR 3 and will work for any game that currently supports FSR 3.
YouTube explains it better than I do
Even without the whole FSR 4 modification, no. The jump isn't big enough to warrant it IMO.
Unless you're the buy every generation type, typically buy every 2-3 generations, and aim for like 70+% performance boost minimum. Ideally head towards that doubling of performance for worthwhile upgrades IMO for GPUs.
Bought this at launch for $300 more and have no regrets. This price is an absolute no brainer. Wish FSR4 was better adopted though.
It is more than 400 games now. You just gotta know where to look.
Still on AM4 platform. Can these newer cards still work on AM4 while im yet to migrate to AM5?
yes, of course
Hoping the 9070XT Reaper will hit that price
I'm considering the Hellhound, what makes you lean to the Reaper?
Probably the SFF factor.
Yep it's the only 2 slot 9070XT on the market
If I wasn't so heavily invested into the NVIDIA software suite and this deal had been a month earlier, I probably would've nabbed this.
Hmmm tempting, still waiting for 5070ti to be on a better price
