DIAMOND BAR, Calif., March 6, 2025 – Newegg Commerce, Inc. (NASDAQ: NEGG), recognized as one of the leaders in e-commerce for technology products, has officially launched the eagerly awaited AMD Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT GPUs. This launch occurred on March 6 at 6:00 AM PT and is set to revolutionize the market with AMD’s groundbreaking RDNA™ 4 architecture.
These next-generation graphics cards promise to deliver remarkable performance for gaming, streaming, and content creation, offering incredible value to users. The latest AMD GPUs are priced competitively, with the RX 9070 starting at $549.99 and the RX 9070 XT at $599.99, at Newegg.com where they are now available for purchase.
The RX 9070 models are engineered with 16GB of VRAM, enabling efficient handling of demanding games at both 1440p and 4K resolutions. The flagship RX 9070 XT includes 64 Compute Units, whereas its non-XT counterpart features 56 units, providing gamers with substantial options for performance at varying price points.
Utilizing AMD’s exclusive HYPR-RX technology suite, these graphics cards skyrocket gaming performance through features like Radeon Anti-Lag, Fluid Motion Frames 2, and FidelityFX Super Resolution 4. These innovations effectively increase framerates with the aid of advanced AI machine learning techniques for frame generation and upscaling, exceeding expectations on visual quality and frame rates.
With the RX 9070 and 9070 XT, AMD aims to surpass competitors by not only delivering superior performance but also ensuring lower prices than comparable Nvidia models. Indeed, reports indicate the Radeon RX 9070 directly competes with Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5070, offering superior VRAM for the same price. The RX 9070 XT tussles directly with the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, priced significantly lower by $150.
Newegg has partnered with some of the leading graphics card manufacturers including ASRock, Sapphire, PowerColor, XFX, ASUS, GIGABYTE, and AORUS to offer customers the widest selection of models available. Each card is equipped with high-performance cooling systems and sophisticated power delivery for optimal performance.
“With the launch of the AMD Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT, we’re providing customers access to significantly powerful and efficient graphics at exceptional price points,” stated Andrew Choi, Director of Brand and Website Experience at Newegg. “Our customers are eagerly anticipating this release, as it’s expected to set new benchmarks for performance-per-dollar.”
The excitement has translated to demand, with many consumers eager to secure these new offerings. Reports from all major retailers, including Best Buy and Micro Center, indicated swift sell-outs post-launch, especially for models priced at MSRP. Retail websites were inundated with traffic, leading to rapid out-of-stock notices within minutes of availability. For example, popular retailers like Newegg sold out of the Sapphire Pulse, XFX Swift, and GIGABYTE Gaming models of the RX 9070 XT almost immediately after release.
Micro Center appears to be the best place for customers wanting to experience buying these GPUs firsthand, as they have likely reserved significant stock only accessible through retail locations. Despite high inventory expectations before the launch, many buyers reported disappointment at having missed the limited availability which ranged merely several minutes after launch.
Currently, consumers are advised to purchase any cards listed at prices they find acceptable regardless of brand or model due to the competitive nature of this GPU launch. Given trends, it is possible the initial supply could sell out swiftly, pressuring customers to act fast.
The RX 9070 series is available via various online and physical retailers, but those hoping to secure one may face challenges similar to releases seen with previous models, such as Nvidia's RTX 50 series during its launch.
Inventory levels remain uncertain as reports indicate similar patterns to the past GPU shortages caused by demanding customer needs. While AMD has committed to combating supply issues, market realities suggest consumers may continue to face challenges accessing the latest graphics technologies.
Despite these potential hurdles, the excitement from gamers and content creators shines through, emphasizing AMD's efforts to improve accessibility and performance. Determining whether these new graphics cards will match consumer demand remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: AMD is poised to be at the forefront of the GPU market.
Stay tuned as Newegg updates its inventory and continues to support customers through its GPU Trade-In program allowing exchanges for credit, which makes accessing high-grade technology easier and environmentally sustainable.
For those with specific commitments to gaming, streaming, or content creation, grabbing the AMD Radeon RX 9070 or 9070 XT early may well be the path forward for seamless performance.
