The highly anticipated AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 graphics cards have made their debut on a Danish retail website, revealing placeholder prices and an “In-stock”status. Additionally, Geizhals showcased an AORUS RX 9070 XT model, which features a PCI-E 4.0 interface and 16 GB of GDDR6 memory.
Radeon RX 9070 GPUs Listed by Danish Retailer Fonix Ahead of Upcoming Launch
Recent speculation regarding the launch of the Radeon RX 9070 graphics cards appears to be accurate, as they have surfaced in the inventories of multiple retailers. Not only have these listings disclosed key specifications, but they also hint at their expected release date. Reports indicate that AMD will officially unveil the Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 cards on January 22nd.
The planned retail availability is suggested to occur two days later, following the distribution of review samples to tech evaluators. A noteworthy update from a Danish retailer suggests a stock date of January 23, 2025, as shared by industry insider @momomo_us.
The available GPUs, both manufactured by Gigabyte, include the Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16G and the Radeon RX 9070 Gaming OC 16G. While the design of both models is similar, they are expected to differ in specifications. Retail listings suggest that stock will be replenished on January 23rd, indicating that the initially available units have already been purchased.
This sequence of events aligns with previous rumors predicting an official retail launch on January 24th. Current pricing indications for these cards appear to be provisional. The RX 9070 XT is being quoted at 9299 DKK (approximately US $1281), while the RX 9070 is listed at 7599 DKK (around US $1047). However, AMD has indicated in recent discussions that the RX 9070 series will not exceed a $1000 price point. Given their aim to compete with NVIDIA’s RTX 5070—which is priced at $549—it is unlikely these AMD offerings will be overly expensive.
While the precise Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for these models remains unconfirmed, the RX 9070 XT is anticipated to sell for between $479 and $499. Notably, a retailer previously listed the Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16G priced at $529. To secure a competitive edge, AMD is expected to undercut the pricing of the RTX 5070 while delivering comparable or superior performance.
