First post. Long time lurker.
New ATL for 9070XT?
Looks like there's only 6 available at the time of posting.
They also have a few other models of the 9070XT as well.
For example the XFX Mercury Radeon 16GB RX 9070 XT OC Magnetic Air GDDR6 RGB Video Card for $1067.82
It should; yes.
EDIT: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/sapphire-radeon-rx-9070-x…
The 6900 XT is ~30% slower relative to the 9070 XT.
IMO; I'd wait for the next gen? 30% isn't nothing but it's not game changing either. I would be aiming for 2x personally, but I only change my GPU once every ~5 years at most so..
I am worried about GPU price going up significantly due to current VRAM pricing. I was looking forward to buying RTX 5080, but that card is full of shit.
Hmm yeah pricing wise 5080 is just way too much.
I guess the key takeaway from your reply is 'current VRAM pricing' - current being the keyword. They could settle in 6 months, AI bubble could burst, orrr could get exponentially worse! We don't know haha.
Really depends if you're struggling with current gaming or can wait a while.
Massive improvements in FP32 throughput, and if it' matters for ML, tensor cores included. Gaming wise, good uplifts in most titles, ranging between 10-30% improvements in FPS.
That said, will continue hodl. Not struggling with my 6900xt as I'm still on 1440p screens and use LSFG on a second card happily.
did you end up getting the gpu? I've seen some sources saying shopping-express customer service isn't very reliable
Was this sposed to be a reply to fitbaaboo? I already have a 9070 non XT heh. But if it matters; I've only used Shopping Express a couple times; had no issues with those deliveries at the time. I've not applied for warranty; however so I cannot comment on that.
@ReaperX22: Ive decided against it tbh just gonna for local retailers since they're cheap enough. Im really tempted to go for the 9070 non xt to be honest, ~10% performance difference for $130 cheaper and 100W less. How are you finding the card?
@tightassnerd: I'm in ITX cases specifically; so the non XT was a no brainer; easier to move around and fit; less heat to manage. And was a good price (830 at the time for me; but I'd be looking at sub 800 for a true deal). It's extremely quiet and was a massive jump from my 3060 Ti (just got the Sapphire Pulse model). The Honeywell PTM7950 TIM they use is putting in the damn work honestly. GPU temps don't go past 60; hotspot up to 80; sure; but ive got an Ncase M1 original so the airflow is kinda meh - waiting for stock one day of the Formd T1 to swap over to which will help with separating the heat. (GPU only just fit in tihs case as it was; so the only XT version that was going to fit was the Powercolor..) But I don't feel I've really missed out on anything going for the non-XT
@ReaperX22: Do you think sub 800 is going to happen at this rate with local retailers? Cyber monday ends today, and I know that theres going to be 10% price increase sometime next year so Im not sure if I should wait. I was about to buy the $839 model from umart ($789 with st george) today
@tightassnerd: If you're coming from anything 2+ generation ago and the same or lower tier card, I'd just do it.. Like if whatever you're running now is holding you back at all. Yolo!
@ReaperX22: just found out umart has 30 day change of mind returns, as long as I dont open it I can keep looking for discounts ;)
If you're not interested in FSR then I'd take a look at the 7900XTX instead.
That said, I wouldn't upgrade at all at the moment. AMD spent this generation catching up on frame generation and ray tracing, not brute force (as shown by the 9070XT being slower than the 7900XTX in terms of raw power)
Looks like the competition dropped their prices too
Scroptec $989
https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/graphics-cards/amd/11706…
yes I believe most of the competition has dropped their prices with their 'Black Friday' sales but I was quite underwhelmed
Black friday gets more enshitified every year
Anyone know if a 9070 XT works well on an X370 motherboard?
Don't see why it wouldn't..? PCIE is a backwards compatible spec. Should be fine (be wary of riser cables, though if you're in a sandwich case/have a vertical mount)
^this. If you get black screen issues, connect GPU directly to MB to see if the riser cable is the cause.
I had this exact prob.
Works fine, might be an issue with the 4090/5080/5090 due to the higher memory bandwidth, but even those cards you're looking at a very small loss in terms of frames
yep it'll work at pcie 3 speeds, you may lose like a few % performance, if that, depending on the type of game etc.
is there any deals on CPUs yet? not seeing much this november lol
There was the 150aud 7500f last week, 7800x3d also hit ATL. Get out from under your rock, man
Aliexpress did have 7500F, 7700 and 7800X3D between $220-$400
There are a few CPU sold by Shopping Express but don't seem very good.
You can price track local stores

These black friday sales have been very underwhelming this year
EDIT: I bought my 7800X3D with the AliExpress sales
Yeah would be nice. I'm looking for mad deals on a 9800X3D, motherboard and 5080 / 9070 XT
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/932582
This was about as low you can expect a 9800X3D to go currently.. I think the 7800X3d is a way better value.
Honestly, RAM is gonna be biggest price concern with new builds! The kit I bought https://www.pccasegear.com/products/70055/team-t-create-expe… in August, was ~165 back then. Insanity!
The one I bought for 329 on PCCG is now 949 lmao.
@ReaperX22: https://www.pccasegear.com/products/70487/g-skill-flare-x5-6…
Actually insane. Almost the same price a 9070XT or a 9950X3D
@adehmar: So glad I upgraded when I did. haha.
I should've gone all in on my all-SSD NAS before the hike started on SSDs though.. ah well. My spinning rust lives on.
Wish that Futu Online store had stacking codes on their listings.
with amd dropping support of cards way faster now, i really am doubting the long term value of amd cards when nvidia has now shown way better support when when its not their main focus anymore
Is it worth $300-400 more
so is a camry to a MG, some considerations bake in value not at initial cost or price / preformance
The flip side is that AMD does often see performance improvements overall over time, historically.
I suppose their backtrack was that it's not that they're 'dropping support' more than 'game ready' drivers aren't explicitly being made for older(I know, 'older') GPUs - in theory older GPUs are more stable anyway and maybe they're falling back onto a 'keep it simple' way of driver updates.
My fundamental issue with this isn't actually directed at AMD (though the news was.. a kick in the teeth after nabbing a great 9070 non XT deal, thinking back on it its' not a massive deal for me) - for years Nvidia/AMD have been 'optimising drivers' for new games/game ready drivers - how about developers just optimise their games to work with the platforms they expect? I.e. Vulkan, DX11/12 etc, OpenGL whatever it is you'd expect to be running your games.
Then AMD/Nvidia/Intel could just.. focus on their baseline performance and let Devs actually optimise their own damn games!
yeah hisorically, because they had to be compeitive.
now with ai, either comapny doesnt really need to appeal to gamers, or drivers yet one actually is
Yeah.. That's true; unfortunately. AI will ruin the world in one way or another.
@ReaperX22: get ready when the private equity exposure in your superfund asks for money back on the loans took out to build the datacenters.
@AnnoyingEshayLad: Yeah but don't forget to do your part! Reduce your carbon footprint yeah!? Use less water! Use less electricity! Snoreeeeee.
I don't know why people voted negative with you.
I agree with you, that AMD dropped support for 6000 cards way too early, although later they withdrew the decision due to users' pressure. But I start to trust them less - that earlier decision had already showed that they don't care about older products' customer much.
Guess why people didn't trust Intel's video cards? Good price/performance, but intel had a bad tradition not supporting their older products over 2 years.
Heavily debating the Mercury to replace my 3080 10gb but it's just so ugly to me
So far the computer part black friday deals have been incredibly mid. This deal is no different.
I wasn't expecting much for SSD's and RAM deals, though.
Yes I totally agree with you!
But I also worry that the AI caused RAM/SSD/HDD shortage will kick in and we will go through the bit coin heat once again.
Everyone is panic buying due to the ram/ssd craziness. No need to even offer any deals.
Wish to see another RX 9070 deal again, $7xx. Those 9060 XT and 5060 Ti 16GB in upper $5xx performance is not good enough for the price.
Gave up waiting for a $7XX RX 9070 and pulled the trigger on a Reaper 9070 for $849 gg
OOS
Damn that was quick. Slow hands here
Would this card perform better than RX 6900 XT (without FSR) in 4K?
