As far as I know they are still in stock from yesterday afternoon. The scalpers must be on pause or not able to move what they have because up until yesterday cards were selling out as fast as bots could buy them.
I went with the 5070ti as it's slightly faster and has higher room to OC, plus it's not $150 over its MSRP. If the 9070xt was $600 it would be an easy call to get that instead.
Just some info if you already have a build and just want a GPU.
No, with this cpu you will get an improvement in fps and since the kind of people that buy prebuilt pc's wouldn't know or even want to learn how to swap a CPU's this makes it a great combo. All a user had to do is swap out the very easy to upgrade GPU in a few years and their awesome cpu will still hold up.
Edit: Unbelievable how people downvoted me for telling the truth. People at least used to value good info. But now people just wanna hear what they wanna hear.
Buying a 9070XT is like buying a 4070 Super with +4 GB VRAM that has worse upscaling and a rasterization-only overclock.
We're already seeing games that REQUIRE ray-tracing, like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. It cuts development time (no need to spend tons of time hand-crafting lighting like with rasterization), so of COURSE game developers will migrate to RT/PT-only.
In 2 years new consoles come out with much better GPUs, and RT/PT-only will become standard for new games. If you absolutely need a gaming rig now, you could do worse; this is not a "bad" deal, just not Hot. But the long-term performance of this GPU isn't as good as it first appears, and it may not be as easy as normal to sell an old GPU to some sucker 2 years from now for a new GPU, given tariff wars. Value the GPU accordingly.
Besides switch 2 what new console comes out in 2yrs???
