AMD RDNA4 Information...Pre/Post Launch

[67Elco]

I purchased one from them on launch day but they cancelled it 15 minutes later. They sent me an email about today's restock.

Same for me, but I received no such email...

Maybe yours ended up in a spam folder?

I'm in Central time zone so I should see activity in about 15 minutes.

Edit: Nothing happening on the site...11:15 Central. 11:30 CDT, still nothing.

So.... no email notification, but your newegg account says it's cancelled?

In general just sick of the entire experience and don't expect any improvements in the situation.

Youre preaching to the choir... but....there's this....

AMD Says Radeon RX 9070 Series MSRP Pricing To Stay Consistent Even After Launch; AIBs Are Working To Replenish Inventory Levels

AMD says that rumors of the Radeon RX 9070 MSRPs being "launch-only" prices aren't true at all, saying that they are working with AIBs.

Supposed to start 10:00am Pacific, so isn't that Noon Central?

Yep...my mind is scattered. Been looking a hour to soon.

Two models of Gigabyte are all that showed up...not interested.

For me the GB 9070 XT Elite is interesting. The same as Powercolor Red Devil or LE, XFX Mercury, ASUS TUF and Prime. All of them, unless I find out any of them has a locked power limit at the lower models level (read 2x8 power connectors). I know the limits of all of them except for ASUS cards.

I just noticed, power use on these isn't great at all. Feels like there wasn't an efficiency increases (not that NV had much/any either).

For something that's a couple/few % slower than a 5070 Ti, the 9070 XT uses ~26% more power (351 vs 279) in gaming according to TPU. Wow!

The good news is that's about the only drawback!

I have zero experience with GB video cards which is why I declined. GB had very durable motherboards for extreme overclocking two decades ago...I have no clue what the status is nowadays.

Yup, mine is 330 watts by default & I can increase the power limit to 360 watts in the control panel.

The base XT models are supposed to be 304 watts.

What we got for options with purchasing amd 9000 series starting in 36 hours?

 

[67Elco]

Sapphire Pulse RX 9070 XT's available right now on Newegg...only in a bundle with a Corsair power supply.

 

[unsafesteagle]

Now aware there was a Newegg shuffle today , I don't see the invite email either , did receive a was not selected email.
Not clear what that was

 

[67Elco]

Nothing yet saying the order can't be honored. I did notice right after the purchase it was listed again as out of stock.

 

[unsafesteagle]

Hoping something remains early Wednesday!

Get something to move thank upgrade later if need be

 

[JLK03F150]

Nice, as combos go that's a good one. Usually the add-on to the combo is hot garbage, but I would buy an RMx if I needed a PSU.

 

[unsafesteagle]

Id also look to trade with cash offset , possibly

No email yet saying otherwise, so I guess it's a done deal. I will say I have spent more on pc parts these first two months of 2025 than most should spend in two years or better. Given that the parts for the Phantek build are already paid for I'm comfortably numb I won't be purchasing any more computer parts for the forseeable future lol. I do have a fellow supposedly coming Friday to buy the recently completed Thermaltake CTE550 which will take away some of the sting.
