Where to buy AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070: these are the best retailers in the US and UK
AMD's hyped graphics cards are sure to be extremely popular
Sales expected to go live at 2PM GMT / 9AM ET
A retailer has reported over 1,000 cards in stock
Prices start at $549 / £525
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 come in at $599/£569 and $549/£525 respectively, although we expect that several third-party manufacturers may price their cards higher than this. Unfortunately, no first-party AMD (IE: Founders Edition-like) cards will be available for this release, so expect to potentially spend a little more.
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.
In terms of stock levels, we're expecting both these cards to be subject to heavy demand. Right now, we cannot say for certain that both won't sell out in minutes but AMD has hinted recently that it has produced these cards at a relatively high volume. Overclockers in the UK has also stated that it has 'over 1,000 cards in stock', which is a very, very welcome sight indeed. Still, it's probably worth picking one up sooner rather than later, based on the hype and recent GPU launches.

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.
