This matches the lowest pricing offered for this card, and is also the original MSRP marked for the 9070 XT at launch. However, that price increased to $799.99 when the card was actually released.

The Radeon RX 9070 XT is based on AMD’s Navi 48 GPU, featuring 64 RDNA 4 compute units, a 2.97 GHz boost clock, and 20 Gbps GDDR6 memory across a 256-bit interface. With a Total Board Power (TBP) of 304W, the card delivers a strong balance between performance and efficiency. On paper, the RX 9070 XT offers up to 48.7 TFLOPS of FP32 compute performance, marking a significant generational leap.

We gave the RX 9070 XT 4.5 stars in our review for its price-to-performance ratio, now that you can get the card for its original MSRP, the GPU represents good value for money, with excellent 1440p performance, and decent 4K performance at a much more palatable price compared to the competition.
