If you decided to wait on Nvidia's Blackwell GPUs to see what AMD had in store, you made a smart move. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT are poised to be the mid-range champions of this generation, offering stellar performance at a price that undercuts their Nvidia counterparts. **These cards will be available for purchase starting March 6 at 6am PST**. The Radeon RX 9070 starts at $550, while the RX 9070 XT is priced at $600. Let's hope AMD manages its supply better than Nvidia has in the past.
It's unclear if inventory will hold up, but given their strong positioning, these GPUs might sell out fast. Below, I've listed the best places to snag one of these cards. At launch, you often can't be choosy about brand or model. If you spot one in stock at a price you like, it's best to buy now and think later.
**TLDR;** This article assumes, not guarantees, that there will be graphics cards available for purchase. You might find that every model at every retailer is sold out when you visit this page.

The appeal of these new AMD cards lies in their impressive price-to-performance ratio. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 matches the price of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070, yet delivers superior performance and more VRAM for the same cost. Even more compelling, the Radeon RX 9070 XT rivals the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti but is priced $150 lower. If these suggested retail prices hold, the choice is clear.
To increase your chances of securing one of these new AMD GPUs, check the following retailers. Best Buy, Newegg, and Amazon will offer online listings, while Micro Center will sell them in-store only. There's no way to know the exact stock levels at each retailer, but according to Wccftech, "AMD and AIBs are reportedly shipping more Radeon RX 9070 XTs than all Nvidia's RTX 50 series GPUs combined."
For the best shot at getting a card on launch day, monitor all these retailers and buy the first available option that allows you to complete checkout. Remember, you'll be competing with thousands of others clicking the same links.

Amazon is your go-to for a wide range of products, including AMD GPUs. However, finding these GPUs directly on Amazon can be challenging. There's no dedicated page listing all available video cards, and search results are often cluttered with overpriced third-party listings. I'll update this section with specific GPU models as they become available, but remember to ensure that the product is "shipped and sold by Amazon" to avoid scams and inflated prices.
0See it at Best Buy
Based on previous GPU launches, Best Buy is likely one of your best bets for purchasing these new AMD graphics cards online. They should carry all the brands available at launch, including Sapphire, XFX, Asus, Asrock, Gigabyte, and Powercolor.
Best Buy's stock availability varies by region. If you live in an area with lower demand for graphics cards, your chances of securing one here are higher. Additionally, Best Buy typically ships orders quickly, meaning you could receive your GPU within a week if it's listed as in stock.
0See it at Newegg
Newegg should also be high on your list. Like Best Buy, they are expected to carry every make and model of the Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT. As an authorized reseller, buying directly from Newegg ensures you get the full manufacturer's warranty. Avoid marketplace vendors to stay safe.
Even if standalone cards are out of stock, Newegg might offer these GPUs in bundle kits with components like motherboards, CPUs, RAM, or power supplies. If you're building a PC and haven't bought all your parts yet, these bundles could be a strategic purchase. They tend to sell out slower than standalone cards.

If you live near a Micro Center, it's your best shot at snagging an AMD GPU on launch day. Micro Center typically reserves GPU sales for in-store customers. Arrive early, ideally when the store opens, to maximize your chances.
We rated the AMD Radeon RX 9070 an impressive 8/10. Priced the same as the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070, it outperforms in most games we tested and comes with more VRAM (16GB vs 12GB), making it a more future-proof option. It also consumes similar power to the RTX 5070.
AMD Radeon RX 9070 Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"The AMD Radeon RX 9070 is an outstanding 1440p graphics card that makes its competitors seem irrelevant. It delivers excellent 1440p performance, often reaching high-refresh rates without frame generation, and even includes an AI upscaler for enhanced image quality. The only drawback is its proximity in performance to the Radeon RX 9070 XT."
The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT earned a perfect 10/10 from us. Priced $150 less than the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, it outperforms in several of our tested games, with some benchmarks showing a significant lead. It also features 16GB of VRAM, matching the 9070 and 5070 Ti. However, it does consume more power and runs hotter than the RTX 5070 Ti.
AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"Since 2020, PC gaming has been in a luxurious decline, and the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT reminds us it doesn't have to be that way. This graphics card can handle any game at 4K with ray tracing enabled, all at a price that makes the competition look greedy. While only time will tell if the launch price holds, one thing is clear: we need more graphics cards like the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT."
