No way to know until we get pricing info and independent benchmarks for the 9070 XT.

In theory, it would make sense to return it and wait for the 9070 XT, but we can't know for sure.

I have a 30-day return window, so maybe we have some benchmarks, independent or at least from AMD themselves by the end of February. The 20 GB on the old cards are nice and water coolers are readily available. The question is, how will the 9070 XT perform and will it be reasonably priced?
