AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Pricing Leak: More Affordable Than RTX 5070? (www.techpowerup.com)

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 like the 16GB mem vs 12GB on the 5070 but it is a bit slower mem. Hard to say how much that will matter in the real world. I'm also dual booting Linux so AMD wins there.

For me it will come down to performance comparisons once they are released. Huge note: I don't really care much about ray tracing. It's cool tech, but not a big enough difference for me in the vast majority of games.

I used to think vram wasnt a big deal, but my 10G 3080 is already useless for some newer games, namely indiana jones

Not literally unplayable, but severely hamstrung, which is not OK for a high end card thats only 2 gen old (soon to be 3 gen, i guess)
