Also sourced from Chiphell, the Radeon RX 9070 XT is expected to command a price tag between $479 for AMD's reference card and roughly $549 for an AIB unit, varying based on which exact product one opts for. At that price, the Radeon RX 9070 XT easily undercuts the RTX 5070, which will start from $549, while offering 16 GB of VRAM, albeit of the older GDDR6 spec.

I've had 2 cards in the past 10 years. One was AMD and it was a nightmare to find the one driver that didn't crash my PC at least twice a month. The other card was NVIDIA and never had a crash on any driver ever.

Maybe it's just bad luck but I won't buy AMD again after that crap and probably won't go green either. I'll keep waiting to see how Intel advances.

Fair enough. I'm not necessarily advocating for people to buy AMD cards, just that realistically the price is pretty irrelevant for a lot of people buying GPUs. They're going to read AMD and bow out.

I'm also very interested in how Intel shapes up, though.
