The 9070's on eBay are getting cheaper and cheaper the further we get from the launch. I think scalpers underestimated AMD's stock and they are slowly discovering that.
Immediately after the launch the XT seemed to be starting at $1,200. Now they are down to $800. The non-xt is down to $650.
Depends on how much stock AMD can provide in the coming weeks and months, but I'm still thinking I'll be able to get one at MSRP this year.
I'm not sure where you are seeing this but on eBay they are still showing a ton of cards from 12-1800.
This shit is a problem and only the apathetic retailers can fix it.
Being bought, or being sold? There's a difference. If they're not being bought at those numbers, they'll still show up the most.
They also said "starting", which implies that's what it's being sold at, not what you see the most listings for.
It still see them more around 800-900€ which is more than what i paid for a 7900XT wtf
In Germany the official Gigabyte shop sells those for 1141€. This is completely nuts.
