9700XT and non XT completely out of stock at newegg.

Edit: Best Buy sold out too.

Inventory is expected to be high at launch, so we shouldn't see widespread stockouts like with Nvidia's RTX 50 series GPUs.

Aaaaand, it isn't looking like a legitimate launch, how unfortunate for AMD.
nvidia will win out again.

I'm willing to call this one a launch since you technically didn't need a bot to secure one. And although we don't have actual numbers, presumably AMD just sold a lot more cards than Nvidia did... I mean, at least they lasted about 15 minutes compared to seconds.

But when you stockpile a product for 2 months only to have it OOS in 15 minutes.... I don't even know what to do with that.... I'm pretty much decided to wait for a 5080 since I can afford one, but when? It feels like at this rate I'll be waiting 6 months to a year.

I actually woke up this morning ready to buy a new GPU for the first time since 2018. By the time I got to my computer, 4 minutes after they started selling, all the MSRP models we're out of stock. This is dumb.

 

[Jabberwocky79]

We haven't even seen a single restock of the 5080-5090s and it's been over a month. Do we even have proof they are making another batch? 🤔 😆

It doesn't look promising, stock wise.

However without know exactly how many were in stock, and then sold, we're simply speculating.

It is, Microcenter has tons worth of cards on hand. There was plenty of supply, notice it's only OOS from online vendors? You know those that are susceptible to scalping bots who are hording the cards and going to be reselling them on ebay or amazon at crazy markups.

But when you stockpile a product for 2 months only to have it OOS in 15 minutes.... I don't even know what to do with that.... I'm pretty much decided to wait for a 5080 since I can afford one, but when? It feels like at this rate I'll be waiting 6 months to a year.

Just wait, scalpers / resellers just sucked up all that inventory and now have to move it. There is going to be a wave of cards showing up on ebay / amazon at $300+ markup. As AMD releases more, and what little nVidia bothers to make, the scalpers won't be able to suck up more inventory and the prices will start to go down. Basically it's a speculation bubble that is being fueled by low stock vs demand. As stock keeps pouring in that curve will stop being so lopsided which brings converts the bubble into a bust.

I'm weak and so I succumbed to FOMO and ordered a 9070 XT for $841. Someone talk me off the ledge! 🥳

I blame AI.

At least with all of these unwanted helpers offering to collect more of our data in exchange for costing us time, our data will be devalued and maybe we will be bothered less for it?

Don't regret it if you can afford it. That's a sweet looking card.

It shows up once you login. It shows up for me and my business price is $761

That's what i'm wondering if it costs more just for the looks and is the performance boost worth $240 extra?

Ultimately up to you, but the situation won't really fix itself for at least another month or three.

The scalped cards are now showing up on ebay with like $700 starting bids on a 9 day period with $1000~1200 buy outs.

Hmm... dunno. I am logged in and it says "unavailable."

That's okay, I'm holding off until I can get a combination of new GPU + guaranteed water cooling support.

My local Microcenter has a bunch still in stock. My nephew waited in line for 3 hours and grabbed one of only 6 Sapphire Nitro+ 9800xt cards available.

As of just an hour ago, many $599 XT cards still available.

I might swing by later tonight or tomorrow and grab one.

That's got the new magnetically attached fans though... those are awesome. If I was sticking with air cooled that would be the only way I'd go.

I have an Amazon Business account. I don't know if that has anything to do with it but it let me add it to my cart and I could purchase preorder it if I wanted too.

But is the overclocking performance boost worth $240?

 

[Heat_Fan89]

Damn, the closest MC store is Miami, not worth a 4 hour drive for that.

I would really love to see real numbers of sold units for all the 5090, 5080, 5070 Ti, 5070, 9070 XT, and 9070 cards. Not guesses and made up BS, but factual numbers. I would be very surprised if AMD actually sold more 9070 series cards than Nvidia did for the 5070 series. But that's just a guess.

My reasoning is simple: Nvidia cards command more demand. They outsell AMD by about 8~10 to one is the general consensus. So Nvidia plans for more demand and creates more GPUs, but it's still completely insufficient.

And the story is basically the same for scalpers. Scalpers are more familiar with Nvidia as a brand, there's higher demand, there's less risk of the cards dropping significantly in price. (Remember that eBay takes about 14%, so you really need cards that you can upsell by 30% or more to make scalping viable.)

What's odd is that Nvidia seemed to ship fewer cards to Micro Center than AMD. Again, though, this is anecdotal and I don't have real numbers. Someone said there were 25 9070 XT cards at their Micro Center for the launch. 25 times 28 locations is only 700 cards, not exactly a massive number considering there were 2300+ 5080 cards at MC for the launch, according to the internet.

But I haven't seen any concrete numbers of Nvidia cards at MC locations for the 5070 Ti and 5070 launches, just the 5080 and 5090 launch. Were there 100 per location? More? Less? 🤷 All I know for sure is that the supply of graphics cards is way behind the demand curve right now, across all segments except for maybe budget $300 cards. And tariffs definitely won't help that get better in the near term.

Buckle up, in other words, as shortages are likely for many months to come.

Shoot I dunno, that's up to you... personally I was set on getting a 5080, so if I was going to get anything different I would still want it to be as close to a 5080 in performance as possible. It's still $300-500 cheaper than a 5080, so ANY performance boost would be worth it to me.
