The launch appears well-stocked with sufficient quantities of the RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 at their advertised prices. However, there are indications, as reported by some retailers, that these prices may only apply to the initial stock, potentially leading to higher prices in subsequent batches. As the next few days progress, we’ll observe whether AMD can maintain inventory levels to meet the demand from eager gamers for their cutting-edge RDNA 4 series.
