RX 9070 GPU price may rise soon after launch

AMD's Radeon RX 9070 GPU launched today at a suggested retail price of $549. However, retailers indicate this price may only apply to the first batch of select models, with future prices potentially increasing. Some retailers, like Inet.se, confirmed that the MSRP will not be honored for subsequent shipments. For example, PowerColor's second batch is already priced higher, while other brands may maintain the MSRP until their initial stock runs out. In the UK, retailers have limited quantities available at the MSRP, with prices expected to rise once those are sold. The RX 9070 is only $50 cheaper than the RX 9070 XT, raising questions about its value if prices increase.
