Where to buy AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070: these are the best retailers in the US and UK

When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works.

Sales are live in both the US and UK
A retailer has reported over 1,000 cards in stock
Prices start at $549 / £525
Cheaper cards look to have higher demand

Editor’s note: cards are now available to buy at multiple retailers – scroll down to see where to buy them! We’re updating this page as we speak in real-time.

We’ve had multiple graphics cards from the other brand in 2025 but now it’s time to bat for team red. Regardless of whether you’re on the hunt for the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT or RX 9070 you’ve come to the right place as we’re rounding up where to buy these cards for both the US and UK just below.

As an overview, the RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 start at $599/£569 and $549/£525 respectively, although some cards are ranging all the way up to $829 / £799 at several retailers today. Unfortunately, no first-party AMD (IE: Founders Edition-like) cards are available at launch and the cheaper GPUs are very, very popular.

In terms of stock levels, as of writing several retailers still have cards available to buy but most of the cheaper options are already sold out at Newegg and Best Buy. Over in the UK, stock is a little better but note that several retailers are experiencing extremely high load on their sites right now so you may have to join a wait list before you can pick up a card.

You can check out our recently published AMD RX 9070 XT review for a full rundown of TechRadar’s views on the card as well as full performance benchmarking. In short, the higher-end card is easily competitive with the Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti. We haven’t tested the standard 9070 yet but our sister site Tom’s Hardware found it equivalent to the RTX 5070, which as you probably know already – was released just yesterday.

AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT stock at Best Buy
Best Buy is an all-around great choice for bagging a graphics card at release. It usually stocks a wide range of boards with relatively good availability, although it has been known to prioritize My Best Buy members at key launches. We haven’t heard or seen anything that suggests that either card will be exclusive to members, but it’s worth keeping an eye out.

AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT stock at Newegg
Newegg is likely to be the first port of call for stock hunters, and with good reason. Not only does it usually offer a wide range of stock on third-party cards, but this retailer also offers a GPU trade-in scheme that can offset the price of your new GPU. Newegg also has pre-builts listed already, if you’re interested in checking out those.

AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT stock at B&H
Although B&H is best known as a photography retailer, it also stocks computer hardware – most crucially graphics cards. Since it’s not one of the better-known GPU sellers, it can be a good place to track down stock of high-end cards.

AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT stock at Amazon
Amazon is often a mixed bag for GPU launches. Yes, it does have a wide range of stock available, but it’s also partial to third-party sellers scalping in-demand cards. We always recommend checking out Amazon for cards, just be wary of paying much more than the recommended retail price.

AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT stock at Overclockers
One of the best retailers for securing a new graphics card in the UK, Overclockers usually has decent stock as well as pre-built options. This retailer has hinted that it could have 1,000s of cards in stock for this release so it’s likely you’ll easily be able to score a GPU if you’re quick. Note, you may have to disable your adblocker for Overclockers links to work from this page (our links are affiliated).

AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT stock at Ebuyer
Another one of the UK’s best retailers, you can expect Ebuyer to be a good source for cards if stock levels are robust. This retailer does also stock pre-builts, if you’re looking to upgrade your entire set-up. Note, adblockers tend to block our affiliate links through to Ebuyer so you may have to temporarily disable your adblock.

AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT stock at Scan
Scan has all its cards neatly lined up and ready to sell when the time comes. You can already browse its stock right now – which includes a wide range of third-party boards from Asus, XFX, and others.

AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT stock at CCL
CCL is a lesser-known retailer versus the big names and it’s often a good option if stock is running low. The retailer has limited graphics cards to one per customer with recent Nvidia launches to combat scalpers, although there are no signs of the latest AMD cards, yet.

Newegg has finally sold out…

Yep, unfortunately so. The retailer’s cheaper $599 cards sold out within minutes but there were a few $700+ cards knocking about for a while. It looks like people eventually bit the bullet and forked out the extra for one of the higher-end models.

Struggling to get on Overclockers and Scan? Try CCL

Just a quick note – the retailer CCL has a ton of cards still available today and its site doesn’t seem to be experiencing the same heavy load as both Overclockers and Scan in the UK.

Cards are Newegg are selling out – although some remain

As I expected, a lot of the cheaper MSRP GPUs have been quick to sell out at Newegg. There are, however, quite a few cards still available at the retailer at $729 and above.

A card appears on Amazon US

Amazon has been a little slow off the mark with its RX 9070XT stock today but it looks like the retailer is finally starting to list cards. Right now, the only one is this pricey XFX Mercury AMD Radeon RX 9070XT edition for $820 but I expect other cards (hopefully cheaper ones) to land soon.

Stock is holding right now in the UK – but sites are experiencing heavy traffic

Overclockers has a wait list on its site right now and I can’t even get onto Scan… Not the best sign but fingers crossed there are cards left. Note that there are still cards up for grabs at Ebuyer and CCL.

Best Buy has sold out

Sorry to be the bringer of bad news – stock at this retailer has dried up already. Was that 15 minutes? It looks like Best Buy didn’t have the highest stock in the world, listing 5 cards in total.

More retailers join the fray – CCL, Ebuyer, and Newegg

I’ve just updated the list at the top of the page with more retailers who have just gone live. You’ve got plenty of choice now so it’s time to go if you’re picking up one of these cards!

Cards are live at Overclockers in the UK

Here we go, folks. One of the biggest retailers in the UK now has cards live. See them here.

Sales are live! I’ve just spotted in-stock cards at Best Buy

Here we go folks, the first US retailer that I’ve seen go live is Best Buy. Note, you will need to be a member to order these cards, so bear that in mind (membership is free).

30 minutes to go – here’s how I think things will play out

OK folks, so we’re just on the cusp of sales going live for both cards. From everything I’ve read so far, it’s looking like stock is pretty good. But, I have to say – demand is also looking incredibly high and the cheaper $599 / £569 cards in particular look to be on the majority of people’s shopping lists today.

Based on retailer tidbits, stock will likely hold up for a few hours but I expect those cheaper cards to probably be snapped up pretty quick. After the Nvidia launches, nothing surprises me anymore. If you’re more interested in one of the higher-end third party cards then you may have a little more leeway in terms of time.

I’ll be updating this page with stock updates at all the major retailers throughout the next few hours. Hopefully you’ll all be able to get yourselves a shiny new GPU – good luck!

Another great post from one of our writers – FSR 4 is looking strong

While you’re waiting for stock to drop, I highly recommend checking out this recently published post from our computing writer Isaiah. He’s essentially reporting on the latest industry news regarding FSR 4 – AMD’s latest update to its upscaling tech.

AMD’s FSR has traditionally lagged behind Nvidia’s DLSS when it comes to image quality but it’s looking like that gap is really starting to close. Isaiah reports that FSR 4 makes massive improvements on its predecessor when it comes to ghosting and draw distances, which was a common issue with both FSR 3 and the older DLSS versions. While the visual improvements come at a slight performance cost, the RX 9070 XT isn’t going to have any issues with that.

Our benchmarking showcases the RX 9070 XT’s price to performance

We’ve got about an hour and a half until these cards go on sale so I’m going to shamelessly promote our benchmarking here on TechRadar. You can check out our full AMD RX 9070 XT review if you want a full spread of tests but I’ve shared the overall final scores above.

While the RX 9070 XT doesn’t quite overpower the very highest-end cards from Nvidia, it does get extremely close to the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 4080 for a very, very compelling price. For reference, we tested the cards on several creative benchmarking tools as well as eight different games at both 1440p and 4K.

It’s pretty obvious why these cards are so hyped right now – they’re looking to offer excellent bang for the buck. As gamers, we’re obviously starved for a decent GPU right now so I hope AMD hits the ground running for this particular launch.

Hmmm, where did Micro Centre’s listings go?

You know, I swear Micro Centre had a number of cards listed earlier with prices. I’ve just tried to find them on the site and they’ve seemingly disappeared. Am I going crazy? Perhaps.

Anyway, regardless of where the retailer has put its listings, you can see a nice little preview of what to expect courtesy of the Radeon subreddit. A user has posted a mobile screenshot (attached above) that clearly shows how many cards at MSRP that the retailer has (or had) listed. The good news? There are plenty of $599 cards here so it should be possible to get yourself a relatively cheap graphics card – at least, for this initial batch.

More details on UK stock – it’s good news and bad news!

Our writer Darren Allen has just posted an interesting news piece on UK stock levels that’s well worth checking out. To summarize, it states that Overclockers in the UK has in fact over 4,000 cards in stock and the retailer thinks that “stock will be fine for a few days”.

That’s the good news. The bad news is that the retailer expects the MSRP cards (IE: the cheaper ones) to sell out first and that “MSRP is capped quantity of a few hundred, so prices will jump once those are sold through.” Darren thinks the prices will settle at around £600 for the cheaper models but I’m not so sure – OCUK does have a track record of hiking prices to a certain degree.

Best Buy doesn’t have many cards listed – let’s hope they have the stock

I’m a little puzzled by Best Buy’s initial listings for the RX 9070XT. First up, they do have a sole card listed at $599, but it’s only for the Black color of the XFX Swift. The White version is listed at $749, which is bonkers to me. Are people so desperate for a white card that they’ll pay an extra $150?

On top of that, it looks like the retailer is only stocking five XFX cards at launch, which isn’t much. My hope here is that each individual listing has plenty of stock to back it up! Best Buy is one of the bigger retailers obviously so it usually gets good stock – let’s hope so, at least.

Here are those five XFX cards listed out, if I see any other brands at Best Buy I’ll be sure to post an update.

A correction

Just a minor correction to my last post. I incorrectly stated that no US retailers have listed their stock. There are in fact cards you can already check out at both Best Buy and Micro Centre right now. That includes prices – which I’ll be taking a look at in my next post!

US sales will likely open at 9AM ET / 6AM PT

I’ve just been digging around to find details on availability in the US – specifically, when these cards will go on sale. As a bit of context, we already know that UK stock will be going live at 2PM in the UK since the retailer Overclockers has officially confirmed that.

None of the major retailers have listed times or stock just yet but this widely upvoted Reddit post states that sales will open at 6AM Pacific Time 9AM Eastern Time. These times line up with the confirmed UK time so this is almost certainly when you can expect sales to open.

There’s a wide range of prices on cards already listed

I was just browsing Overclocker’s stock of cards in the UK just now – and as expected, some of these AIB cards are much, much higher priced than the £569 MSRP that AMD stated.

There are a few cards listed at £569, like this Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 9070 XT at Overclockers but they range all the way up to £799 for this Asus Radeon RX 9070 XT TUF, which is quite a variance for a card of this price point. Just based on traffic, it looks like the cheaper cards are getting more attention at the retailer right now so it could be worth jumping on those quickly if you’re interested.

It’s looking good for stock at one UK retailer

We’re used to getting burnt when it comes to GPU launches recently – most people are still waiting to get their hands on one of the latest Nvidia cards, for example. It’s too early to say whether the AMD RX 9070 and AMD RX 9070 XT will be any different, but Overclockers in the UK has teased that they have over 1,000 cards in stock on its official forum.

This is a stark contrast to the RTX 5090 and 5080 launches last month where most retailers were reportedly selling stock in the single digits. Again, it’s too early to say whether these cards will sell out but availability is looking much, much better this time around.

When are retailers going live with sales?

Right now, the only retailer that I can see with a confirmed time for sales is Overclockers in the UK, which has stated that cards will be available to buy from 2PM GMT. That will be 9AM ET for those of us joining in the US.

As of writing, I haven’t seen any word from US retailers but I expect that 2PM GMT / 8AM ET is the world wide embargo for sales. We’ll of course be on the lookout for stock in the meantime, however.

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 Would Be a Great Choice of GPU—If the RX 9070 XT Didn’t Exist

AMD’s latest $550 graphics card is a strange beast, and that’s the fault of AMD. The Radeon RX 9070 is a solid brick of gaming potential that can hold up in some 4K scenarios for your desktop PC, though it truly shines for gamers who plan to play at 1440p. Despite that, the RX 9070’s main competition isn’t Nvidia. AMD’s Radeon RX 9070 XT at $600 offers a major performance bump above the slightly cheaper card. Unless the XT’s prices inflate wildly post launch on March 6, you should opt for the $600 graphics card without hesitation.

On its own, the Radeon RX 9070 is a relatively solid GPU for sub-4K resolution gaming or other intensive graphics rendering tasks. You may have read the same line from reviews of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 that launched on Tuesday. These cards are already equivalent in manufacturer-suggested price. However, in our tests, the RX 9070 has the edge in synthetic benchmarks and in some games. If you want to upgrade your PC and avoid Nvidia’s woeful stock situation, that may sound like music to beleaguered PC gamers’ ears.

Despite those gains over Nvidia, pushing the RX 9070 to 4K with the highest in-game settings will result in too much settings fiddling to be worth the hassle. If your choice is between Nvidia and AMD, you then have to decide if you really want DLSS 4 and multi-frame gen capabilities. If you’re into single-player games and you have a high-refresh rate monitor, it’s a real consideration despite the significant improvements to AMD’s own FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 upscaling software.

The Radeon RX 9070 XT plays ball with the RTX 5070 Ti, but for $150 less MSRP. The RX 9070 performs above Nvidia’s latest RTX 5070 GPU in several benchmarks and games while sharing the $550 price point, and yet it still may not be the one you want if you’re looking to spend less on a GPU. Read on, and I’ll explain more.

AMD’s new graphics cards, or GPUs, run on the company’s recently revealed RDNA 4 architecture. It’s an upgrade over RDNA 3 with new pipelines to improve the speed and performance of the cards’ ray tracing capabilities. Unlike Nvidia’s Blackwell architecture, which itself is passed down from the company’s AI training chips, AMD’s RDNA architecture operates on “computing units.” AMD claims its latest computing units are more efficient than previous generations, meaning it doesn’t need as many inside each package to increase overall performance over the previous generation.

The RX 9070 has the same VRAM specs as the 9070 XT, including 16 GB of GDDR6 VRAM with a 644.6 GB/s memory bandwidth. Compare that to the 12 GB of GDDR7 on the RTX 5070, AMD’s card has more headroom for higher resolutions, though that’s brought down by the other specs. The RX 9070 has 56 compute units compared to the RX 9070 XT’s 64. The RX 9070 includes 112 AI accelerators, whereas its more expensive sibling has an additional 16. For $50 less, you get a drop in boost clock speeds from the 9070 XT’s 2.97 to the regular 9070’s 2.51.

At least, the Radeon RX 9070 draws less power at 220 W than the XT’s 304 W. AMD recommends a 550 W minimum PSU for the RX 9070, but if you’re building your desktop from scratch, you may as well go for a 700 W power supply for the sake of future usability and upgrading. That’s also what the Radeon RX 9070 XT suggests you get (as if you needed another hint to aim for the XT instead).

For review, AMD sent us the Acer Nitro Radeon RX 9070 16 GB graphics card. It’s a two-slot, three-fan GPU configuration that looks as common as any other card on the market. It gets the job done, though. The card was grave-silent inside my PC tower, the Origin PC Neuron 3500X. The card includes three DisplayPort 2.1 ports and a single HDMI 2.1 port. You certainly don’t need any bloatware like Acer Intelligence Space, but luckily the card did not automatically install any unwanted software on my PC once I slotted it in.

Unlike Nvidia, AMD doesn’t offer any first party Founders Edition graphics cards, so thermals, layout, and other technical details will vary from card to card. Also unlike Nvidia, AMD sticks with the dual 8-pin power connectors to power the GPU. At least you shouldn’t have to worry about all that hullabaloo surrounding claims of melted power connectors on the RTX 5090. Anyway, you shouldn’t really complain too much about plugging in two power connectors rather than a single 12VHPWR cable.

We ran our AMD and Nvidia benchmarks all on the same PC. Our specs included an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K CPU and 32 GB of DDR5, 6400 MT/s RAM. It’s what managed to power the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, so it was more than up to the job of AMD’s $550 graphics card.

Benchmarks love AMD’s cards. 3D Mark and Geekbench AI shows the lower-level RX 9070 beating Nvidia’s RTX 5070 in several scenarios, including those that stress ray tracing capabilities. In 3D Mark Port Royal, the RX 9070 scored 17819 compared to 13835 on the RTX 5070. It also managed to equal the 5070 in 3D Mark Speed Way tests and run 900 points above Nvidia’s latest, low-level GPU in 3D Mark Steel Nomad.

As for AI performance, benchmarks show AMD’s cards hold a strong edge over Nvidia. That’s ironic, considering AI is Nvidia’s whole bread and butter, and is what Blackwell was initially supposed to support. The Radeon RX 9070 issued a 25961 quantified score in Geekbench AI. That’s just 684 points short of the RX 9070 XT, though it’s close to 4,000 points higher than the $750 RTX 5070 Ti.

For gaming, how well each AI processing unit performs is far less important than how graphics card makers use them. We’ll talk about AMD’s improvements to its FSR upscaler later, but what you really want to know is how the RX 9070 performs in game. In our tests, the Radeon RX 9070 managed to beat the RTX 5070 in some games like Horizon Zero Dawn: Remastered, netting 89 FPS at 4K without any help from upscaling and 116 with FSR on balanced settings. This also beat the RTX 5070 Ti.

As for Cyberpunk 2077, the RX 9070 sat at around 18 FPS at 4K, which was only 1 or 2 FPS below the RTX 5070. Even when the game was using AMD’s last-gen upscaling tech FSR 3, the 9070 was able to hit 44 FPS in benchmarks, just above 43 FPS on the RTX 5070 with the game running on Nvidia’s latest version of its upscaler. The Radeon card was also a beast at 1080p compared to the RTX 5070, managing 120 FPS to Nvidia’s 110 FPS with upscaling on balanced settings.

I already mentioned in my RX 9070 XT review that Black Myth Wukong doesn’t like AMD cards nearly as much as AMD. There will still be games that won’t meet or beat Nvidia’s similarly-priced GPU. Other games may struggle slightly compared to Nvidia’s RTX 50-series. For instance, Alan Wake II with FSR 2 enabled and all ray tracing settings turned off won’t even get to 60 FPS at 4K. With ray tracing turned on, I saw framerates in the mid to low 30s.

There are some games, especially those few with FSR 4 support, that truly excel on AMD’s latest. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 was managing over 60 FPS even with ray tracing settings on high. In Star Wars Outlaws, with FSR 3 settings enabled, I could hit 80 to 90 FPS average and only take a minor hit when trying out ray tracing.

I also need to mention I experienced hitching and other issues in some games that I can only assume are an issue with pre-release drivers, though AMD didn’t offer clarification on that score before publication. There was frame hitching in Dragon Age: The Veilguard and excessive frame drops in Hogwarts Legacy. I already went into detail with these issues in my RX 9070 XT review, so I won’t stress about them here. Just know AMD’s Adrenalin software is still working out the kinks. That’s fair enough, and Nvidia still hasn’t fully fixed all the issues with black screens on its RTX 50-series cards.

I’m happy there are more, slightly cheaper options for GPUs nowadays. Let’s not forget Intel’s Battlemage lineup from last year, which offered a true budget GPU for playing at 1080p or up to 1440p resolutions. Everybody likes options, and the RX 9070 is certainly a contender at its price point. Still, I can’t say it should be your first choice.

AMD gets a reputation for championing hardware while letting its software struggle, at least compared to Nvidia. Well, Nvidia’s an AI company before it was a gaming hardware company, so that’s not too surprising. It’s also an unfair comparison. Both AMD and Nvidia have long competed to sponsor games and shove their exclusive graphics tech into the latest and greatest titles. AMD’s FSR 4, now enabled by the AI accelerators on RDNA 4, is an improvement over the last generation of software. It’s certainly not as flashy as all the talk of a transformer model DLSS 4 and multi-frame gen. For the sake of stable framerates on these mid-range GPUs, FSR 4 is more than enough.

The only issue is there are so few games that currently support it. It’s available in all of Sony’s PlayStation 5 to PC ports, along with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Monster Hunter Wilds, Kingdom Come Deliverance II, and Civilization VII. That may sound like a full slate until you compare it to the 75+ games that support DLSS 4 at launch, and Nvidia’s only been adding more support over the last two months. AMD has a lot of catching up to do.

But what does that mean for the RX 9070? A lower-level GPU depends more on AI upscaling to hit the highs you need it to. Even with that support, we doubt that 4K will always be within your grasp on this $550. In that way, it’s great for 1440p, just as much as the RTX 5070 was. Only, in that case, there are more games to choose from that support upscaling. The growing number of games that support multi-frame gen make Nvidia’s RTX 5070 a slightly more compelling target for this price point. As disappointing as Nvidia’s performance gains were, there’s a compelling reason to get that card instead of the RX 9070 at that price point.

But that doesn’t matter, since the RX 9070 XT exists for just $50 more. With the stock situation still uncertain before the next-gen Radeon launch on March 6, I suggest you don’t opt for the RX 9070 unless you can find it at its lowest price. If you can find the RX 9070 XT at or close to $600, there’s no question that it should be the card you grab first.

At $600, AMD’s Radeon RX 9070 XT is just where it needs to be to compete for 4K gaming against the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti.

Nvidia’s RTX 5070 won’t hit RTX 4090 levels of performance even with multi-frame gen, but it works well for those who have a 1440p setup.

Apple and Nvidia kept it interesting this month while everyone else just kind of fell flat in the shortest month of the year.

Three people, including one Chinese national, were charged with conspiracy to commit fraud.

AMD’s Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT offer more frames with FSR 4, but will it compete on performance for the lower price?

Here’s how to check if your $2,000 Nvidia RTX 5090 graphics card is underpowered.
