      9070 XT, not 7900 XT :)

      They are different cards

      • +3

        oops, I was looking seriously at a 7900 XTX but these deals look pretty good now on the 9070 XT!

  • +11

    Dam the price keeps dropping. Bought mine round new years for 1k due to the ram crisis but it just keeps dropping!

    • ram crisis giveth, ram crisis taketh away

  • +3

    Why is the price dropping so much?

    • +51

      No one can afford building pc anymore

    • +12

      Well it only seems to be dropping for the Rx 9070 XT and non Xt really, none of the other cards seem to be going down in price.

    • +1

      I thought it might be to do with the exchange rate but nothing else seems to be going down much

    • I noticed gpu mining is kinda dead as well this is only at a glance at a youtuber who gpu mines a lot or use to now.

      • +1

        GPU mining was dead long before this generation of card came out. ASIC mining is the only thing that keeps up with the hashrate and you have to invest a lot of cash into it. You'd also want a good solar setup so you aren't losing all your profit on the power used to generate it.

    • AMD still making these Radeon GPUs.
      While Nvidia has mostly stopped production of their equivalent 5070 Ti to redirect towards other AI accelerators and enterprise GPUs.

      • it still doesn't really answer why the price is going down…. supply is still not healthy. RAM, SSD, HDD, other GPUs all going up. Ocean Freight has been slowly decreasing, but I don't think that is the reason.

        • -1

          AMD consumer cards are nigh on useless for local/personal AI use

          • @visitorsonlyparking: They’re still great for inference (but then again, so is anything with RAM), but you’re right when regarding training.
            At least until ROCm improves, but AMD could just instead make the CPUs that run the “AI factories”.

  • +2

    is it worth upgrading to this from an rtx 3080?
    Or better to run the 3080 into the ground and wait for 5070ti to come down in price too?

    • +4

      im upgrading from a 3070 FWIW. Thought id try an AMD card for a change

    • +1

      probably yes - you can still sell 3080 for a decent coin i recon so the upgrade is not much

    • +1

      Waiting for 5070Ti will not get you much else. Either get this now or hope for some decent next-gen.
      But it looks like the Next-Gen NVidia will just be another round of the same lightly polished architecture pushed further by new manufacturing process. No revolution.

    • +2

      I went from gaming trio z 3080 (370w) to taichi oc 9070xt and its night and day better.

      • +1

        How much of an upgrade would this be over my 6900XT?

        • +1

          This German site (it allows for easy on-site translation, or you can just use the numbers + models without translation) aggregates numbers from reviewers to get reasonably accurate performance comparisons between a wide range of GPUs: https://www.3dcenter.org/artikel/fullhd-ultrahd-performance-…

          By their numbers, about 1/3 faster at 1080p raster and about 2/3 faster at 4K raster (raster being "normal" graphics stuff - no raytracing). Unless you're struggling with the performance you currently have I'd personally be looking for a bigger upgrade (maybe unless you're already playing at 4K), but if you want it to be reasonably priced it might be a bit of a wait lol, so idk.

          • @MHLoppy: Thanks. I will use that website you linked to. Seems awesome.

            My monitor is 1440p/165Hz. I never got a 4K monitor as I knew I didn't have the graphics horsepower for it.

            I see what you're saying, though, about upgrading to something better. What would you say would be the best value to performance upgrade?

            I'm assuming this is the best value upgrade, but not value for performance, as I'm assuming something else would be better there when factoring in performance as well as value?

            • @Ice009: I'm not fully sure what you're considering "value" if it's not performance vs price here 😅

              A 9070 XT is probably the best you're going to get under $1k for a while, so unless you find a unicorn deal on a 5070 Ti for $1k, it's probably this or spend nearly twice as much to get a 5080 (which isn't that much faster than a 9070 XT in raster, so I personally wouldn't consider that a good financial decision but it's not my money :P)

              I guess if you factor in FSR 4 support on the 9070 XT (which currently is not officially available for the RX 6000 series) you can effectively get a bit of extra performance if you're willing to be generous by how you measure it - but of course it will only work for games that support it and it's not directly equivalent to raw performance. Based on the 3DCenter numbers I'd guess for 1440p you'll get something like 50% better performance than your 6900 XT excluding any FSR 4 gains, but you can check individual GPU reviews to get specific numbers for specific games etc. If there are some specific games you have in mind to play, it might be worth checking the performance difference for those specific games as performance might be noticeably better or worse than the average depending on the game.

              Since we're already near the top of the currently available GPUs by talking about the 9070 XT, your options for something even faster than it are quite limited, and price:performance starts to rapidly decline from around this point with current GPUs/pricing. If you're keen for an upgrade then a 9070 XT might still be one of your best options, but whether it's ultimately worth dropping nearly a grand for it or not will be up to you (Y).

              • @MHLoppy: I guess I was thinking of the next card up and comparing the two - 5070 Ti and if you thought it's better value at it's higher price for the overall performance it brings. I also wasn't referring to raster only. Sort of overall what the 5070 Ti can do as Nvidia seem to have better performance for things other than raster, don't they? I also don't know how FSR 4.0 compares to Nvidia's DLSS and all that. Not sure how much better it is in ray tracing and the other features it has over the 9070XT? Is it worth that extra cost I guess is what I was asking?

                I should have been more specific when asking. Hopefully I have explained it a bit better.

                And yes, I do understand what you said before about the 9070XT being the best value to performance card right now. I am seeing the performance isn't going up much as the cards get more expensive, so for people on a tight budget, most of the other cards don't seem to be worth spending the money on.

                • +1

                  @Ice009: Hm okay I kinda see where you're coming from now.

                  In terms of DLSS vs FSR, FSR 4 is generally considered to be very good - a large improvement in overall image quality over previous versions. DLSS 4.5 is still a bit better, but it's not "pay a lot more money" better.

                  Ray tracing would be moderately (?) better on average with the RTX 5070 Ti over a 9070 XT but unless it's something you're personally really into, very few games are a significantly better experience with it enabled (and even with an Nvidia card the performance hit remains substantial) so it's unlikely to be worth much of a price premium either.

                  Nvidia's hardware video encoder (if that's something you'll use) is likely still a bit better than AMD's, but that's another area where AMD generally made huge gains recently and it seems to be near-parity for most users. If you do professional video work then Nvidia's 5000 series added support for 4:2:2 chroma subsampling on both encode and decode, but if you don't know what that means it's unlikely you'll use it.

                  If you're not using CUDA for professional productivity stuff or AI stuff (one key area where AMD is still very behind Nvidia), then the full package — including price — is a lot more favorable for the 9070 XT imo. If you're using it 95% for games then subjectively the Nvidia card needs to be at most 20% more expensive to even be in consideration, and ideally only like 10%. But right now 9070 XT -> 5070 Ti is >30% more expensive, and actually about 50% more expensive if you're buying one today which would be extremely hard to justify just for mostly-gaming.

    • +2

      Pretty big upgrade over the 3080, especially with VRAM.

    • +1

      Worth it, I did 3080 10G to 9070xt (asus). Was like $475 changeover since the 3080 still sold for $500 online.

      • -2

        Keep in mind 9070 xt is not an xx80 class GPU but given nvidia are the only ones with that offering its not a bad upgrade

      • Where did you sell the 3080? I don't know where to sell my card (6900XT) if upgrading. I wouldn't want to keep it as I'd rather get something for it than have it sitting around.

    • +4

      I upgraded my 3080 to a 5070ti for like $1250 and it's been an amazing upgrade, the 9070XT at this price is a no-brainer. The NVIDIA stuff is obviously preferable but nowhere near $400 better - if I had my time again I'd get the 9070XT

    This, the sapphire pulse or the xfx? Looking to grab one later today

    • +1

      For me this was better due to case size limitations (Fractal Meshify C). Size aside, there isnt much difference between the 3

      • +1

        There is this table about Reaper has a much higher returned rates for customer services. But yeah in the case not having issue, then both have similar performance overall.

    • +3

      If size doesn't matter, then probably the XFX Swift, otherwise the Reaper.

      • How big is the Swift? 3 slots or more?

        I have a Creative Sound card under my current card (Sapphire 6900XT) which is 2.7 slots.

        Anyone know what I'd be able to sell the 6900XT for? What would be the going price these days?

    • +1

      I went with the Sapphire in yesterday's deal because HWU had it as the coolest of the 3 when noise normalised despite it being clocked higher.

    • What if we put the Red Devil on the table as well ? Keen to grab one too

  • +3

    HODL at this point it will get as low as 16GB DDR5 6000, and will come with a free 9070XT Attached to it!
    /Sarasim

    good price!

  • +1

    My 7900xtx has been with manufacturer for repair/warranty for the past 5 weeks. I call for updates but just get response that 'it's still being assessed'.

    Thinking of getting 9070xt for more up to date tech and capitalise on reduced pricing, but the 7900xtx is still good for me for DCS VR…. if I ever get it back. Damn FOMO and my gaming addiction.

    • +2

      7900xtx is still ahead of this card in most cases, but man it sucks ass it's been in rma for 5 weeks

    • +3

      That’s crazy, keep pushing them. Grounds for a refund if the RMA isn’t complete after 2 months if you bought in the last 3 years

  • +1

    Need to see some good pricing on 5060XT 16gb then i bite

    • 9060xt or 5060

      The 5060XT doesn't exist my dude.

  • +2

    If the ram prices keep climbing these will come free with any purchase at this rate

    • +3

      Graphics Cards will also be affected by the RAM price climbing as a graphics card uses RAM chips for the graphics memory. These graphics cards will only go up in price soon.

      • So when do you guys expect the graphic card prices to go up? When current supply is exhausted?

        I'm thinking two things right now. I'm thinking video cards are cheaper/good prices because RAM prices are high, and stores are having a hard time selling systems or not as many people are building systems because of the RAM prices so they may be letting graphics cards go for decent prices because of that?

    • +4

      It's because there isn't as much of a shortage as we're led to believe and we're just being gouged on consumer RAM

      • +3

        The graphics card manufacturers are just using the stockpile of RAM chips which they obtained from the RAM manufacturer before the shortage began. Once that stockpile is used up then that's when the price hike begins.

        • +5

          If they were running out of available cheap memory stocks they would hike prices now because build costs will be more.

          Like the servos after war breaks with Iran they didn't wait until they were receiving the fuel that was leaving the Gulf to hike prices they do so straight away.

          Reality is they can't hike prices any more than they have or sales will die out more than they already have.

          • @buffalo bill: Lol dude GPUs aren't fuel. GPUs on longer shelf life impact financials of a business severely. Once shops collect cashflow from liquidating stock they then reorder lower volumes of new stock with new updated packaging with high prices.

            • +1

              @plmko: Sure.. we'd never be seeing these "sales" if there was genuine scarcity

    Great price, paid nearly $250 more on release :| oops hehehe … wonder what happens once all this stock is clear and if the restocks aren't jacked up in price due to the whole Ai poop show. Brilliant for iTX builds.

    Great 4K card by the way.

  • Hmm. I have an Alienware R10 with 3060 ti. I wonder whether I would be able to fit this in the case.

    • I've got one in my Intel Nuc 11 Extreme, the card is 304mm and takes up 2 slots.

      • I think R10 is worse with internal space than Nuc 11 Extreme.

        • That's surprising as the R10 case looks much bigger than the Nuc.

          • @yippy: Yes, it is isn't it. It's amazing how Dell makes the case look big yet it's actually so cramped inside. So much space is taken up by the swing arm design PSU.

  • Holding off until sub $800. Surely

  • Not sure if its worth the upgrade from 3080ti. The free copy of Crimson Desert is super nice though.

    • Same thought here! Could be a near free swap once you sell the 3080ti and get the free game too though

      • Might just hold and see what else is coming out. Ideally I dont want to sell the 3080ti, and would much rather make use of it in another setup for the GF.

    • I am still rocking the original 3080 with 10GB VRAM, at this price I am still not convinced with 9070XT upgrade.

      • Same boat here. Was tempted to but the 9070 XT is still very far behind for AI workloads compared to the 3080 surprisingly. But if purely for gaming, I actually think it's a decent upgrade for the money.

        • And what about ray tracing performance too.

          • @edfoo: Yeh. Like dont get me wrong, its a good price, but the 3080+ cards are still doing stupidly well. Its like 30%ish of an upgrade and ideally if Im going to upgrade, I'll probably go for a whole new system once the 39" 5K ultrawide OLEDs come to a decent price.

            • @ibilateral: LOL even RTX5090 is struggling with some modern games in 4K with ray tracing, cards that will run well in 5K RT with most games don't exist yet. Not even sure if next gen RTX 6000 series cards will perform well in 4K RT, when they are available.

    • I went to 9070xt from a normal 3080, it wasn't worth the upgrade imho.

      basically putting it @4k the 9070xt = 3080 + DLSS

      if your on 1440p or below you won't see any practical difference, the 3080 is still an amazing card

  • +5

    Entering the territory of yes I will definitely get this over the 5070 ti. Honestly wish this price cut was sooner, too bad I just upgraded my system.

    • What upgrades?

    • +3

      Until yesterday my most recent non-NVIDIA card purchase had been an ATI 5850, but this is now well within no-brainer territory for gaming uses… $480 extra for DLSS and ray tracing?!

      • +2

        With OptiScaler, FSR4 can be injected into DLSS titles anyway (single player only). It's only going to get better from here as more people snap up these cards at a discount and development spikes in interest.

  • Continue with my 7900GRE or this…

    • +3

      7900GRE is still plenty capable, not worth the upgrade IMO…

  • just took delivery of my $908 one…

    • Same :’(

  • Is this better than RTX 5070?

    • +4

      Yes, the 9070 XT is about 23% better in relative performance according to Techpowerup's GPU database.

      • I used to use TPU's database from time to time. I was always wondering, is it fairly accurate way to compare graphics cards to each other, or should I really be looking at individual benchmarks?

        • +1

          It's a good baseline but it would be preferable to look at specific benchmarks for your use case.

  • Do I want one yet to upgrade the 6700xt…..? hmm

    • +2

      I would, given I've considered this at the price point made coming from the 6900xt from 4 years ago.

      Just need to look at what resolution you're needing, and games you play.

      If you're into Ai/llm, I'd look at something ideally with more vram

      • Mostly gaming, running 1440p 144hz and obviously cant reach that natively in most titles.

        The answer should be yes as there is not much else to improve on my AM4 setup

        • +1

          Same boat. Still using AM4. I was going to upgrade the CPU to a 5800X3D, 5700X3D or 5900XT, but I think I missed the boar and none are available anymore?

          I was going to look at AM5 instead, but with the price of RAM, I don't think that'll happen any time soon as I need 64GB minimum :(. I haven't even looked at what the prices of 64GB is as I last looked about a month ago at the prices of 32GB and said F that.

          • @Ice009: If it is for primarily gaming, you could get a 5500X3D for ~A$259.03: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/950349

            It looks like the 5950X and 5900XT are still available on amazon for under $500

            • @qwijibo: Thanks, I'll take a look. I've currently got a 3900XT, so I don't really want to go down to less than 8 cores. It's not primarily for gaming, that's why I was looking at the 5900XT over the 5700X3D when they were all available, but I couldn't decide. I didn't expect them to all disappear that quickly.

              I wonder how the 6 cores on the 5500X3D would go for productivity and how far off it'd be to the 3900XT. If it's close, I might get it, but I assume it can't make up an extra 6 cores.

              Do you think it's worth buying a 5900XT for under $500? If I asked this question before RAM prices and storage prices went up, I'm pretty sure most people would have said to upgrade to AM5, and I was thinking the same last year. When I saw there's no stock around of the 5700X3D and 5800X3D, that was my thinking, to just start looking at AM5 instead.

              Edit : I found the 5900XT for about $492 on Amazon, but couldn't see a 5950X for under $565.

              • +1

                @Ice009: It's a tricky question. Given the unavailability of the 5800X3D, then you need to compromise - do you want to compromise your gaming, or non-gaming performance? Which do you spend more time on?

                Have a look at the benchmarks between the 5950X and 5800X3D in this Hardware Unboxed benchmarks video: https://youtu.be/l3b7T5OohSQ
                And this one where he's reviewing the 5900XT (has game benchmarks incl 5800X3D): https://youtu.be/11FWyDiT8bE

                You'll get somewhere from a 20% to 30% bump over your 3900XT for 1080p gaming, if you're cpu limited. Upgrade your card first, then upgrade the cpu if you feel it's limiting you.

                Given the batshit insane DDR5 pricing, you could get another year or two out of AM4, then do an upgrade to Zen6/7 once ram prices calm down again.

                • @qwijibo:

                  Thanks. You've put me on the right path to think about what I need to compromise on. I think about 60-65% is non-gaming, so I guess gaming would take the back seat.

                  Thanks for these links. I will watch them on my next day off and take a look at the comparisons.

                  You'll get somewhere from a 20% to 30% bump over your 3900XT for 1080p gaming, if you're cpu limited. Upgrade your card first, then upgrade the cpu if you feel it's >limiting you.

                  OK, that's a good indicator. So a 5950X/5900X would be about a 20-30% bump? That's not too bad at all. I guess I'll watch the videos. My current monitor is 1440p 165Hz.

                  Would the 5950X still be the better CPU over the 5900XT, are they both pretty much identical?

                  Given the batshit insane DDR5 pricing, you could get another year or two out of AM4, then do an upgrade to Zen6/7 once ram prices calm down again.

                  AM5 was the way I wanted to go (I was just going to get a 7800X3D or something, but yep, with this current pricing, you've pretty much convinced me that sticking with AM4 is the way to go for me now, and I'll be OK with that for another year or two if I get a better CPU).

                  I've also got a backup system that I don't really use which has a 2700X in it. I want to also upgrade the CPU in that, but I don't want to spend too much on it. What would you recommend for that, that is inexpensive, but would give a nice upgrade over the 2700X? Would you say the 5500X3D (how long has this CPU been out for? Never heard of it before today)? Not sure if that would be the way to go, or something else?

                  • @Ice009: The 5950X is higher clocked than the 5900XT, so if you can find it cheap, then get it. Set an alert on camelcamelcamel. It has been down to less than $400 in the past … but it depends on how long you want to wait, and risk missing out. Otherwise get the 5900XT if you can't wait.

                    As for your 2700X, you could just shuffle your 3900XT into it. Again, it depends on what you use it for.

                    • @qwijibo: Didn't even think about the 3900XT. It's like once/if I upgrade this system, the 3900XT doesn't exist ;). Forgot I'd still have it. lol Silly question.

                      I'll set up camelcamelcamel alerts. Never thought about that either as I don't use CCC much.

        • For 1440P - for most titles will be a uplift, and future proof in current uncertainty regarding memory pricing and release of RDNA5, given that my 6900xt in comparison had positive increases from 10-40% in some titles.

          Personally GPU upgrade is more reasonable then platform upgrade given current DDR5 pricing. Yes there's some performance on the table to be gain by upgrading to AM5, but the 6700xt at the moment would be your bottleneck (assuming your current cpu is decent - otherwise side upgrade to a x3d AM4 cpu + a 9070xt sub $880 will keep you going for another 3 years at least).

          My personal uses, I've decided to keep 5900x + 6900xt and save up money for complete new build once next generation is announced. Bought a Intel B60 pro for my AI needs.

    • theres either reward or risk in waiting, i guess it depends on your needs. 9070xt performance is night and day though!

  • +1

    Daym tempted to switch from a 4070 ti to one of these. Better SteamOS support.

  • all the prediction during Christmas on 9070XT price hike lol, i gues over supply
