AMD’s top midrange graphics card is getting closer to a price most people can live with. A round of new bundle deals from big US retailers is making the Radeon RX 9070 XT a better buy than it has been in months.
Several versions of the RX 9070 XT are now listed at US$699 on Newegg. Each one comes with a free PC part and a copy of the new game Crimson Desert. The free extras depend on the brand.
ASRock’s Challenger edition comes with a 360mm all in one liquid cooler. Gigabyte’s Gaming OC version includes a 512GB PCIe 4.0 SSD. The Sapphire Pulse model comes with a 750W gold rated power supply.
This is a big change for a card that has had trouble staying anywhere near its US$599 recommended price. For weeks, the RX 9070 XT has been going for roughly US$750 to US$850 in most stores which is more than 25% above the base MSRP.
The timing makes these deals even more surprising. Memory supply contracts that kept GPU part costs steady through 2025 have now ended that has pushed up GDDR6 prices for AMD and GDDR7 prices for NVIDIA.
Late last year, AMD confirmed it had raised the cost of Radeon graphics cards and memory kits sent to board partners by US$10 per 8GB of VRAM. The company also said more price increases were coming in early 2026.
That is what makes it so unusual to see retailers taking on some of those higher costs through big promotions. Amazon is also selling the Gigabyte and Sapphire Pulse models at US$699 with coupon codes but without the extra free hardware that Newegg is offering.
For buyers who have been holding off because of the unpredictable GPU market, these bundles bring the card’s real cost well below its listed price. The ASRock deal, for example includes a cooler worth around US$69.
This puts the card’s true cost closer to US$630. It is not yet clear whether these offers show a bigger change in how retailers are pricing GPUs or are just a short term push to move stock.
Either way, they are some of the best deals the RX 9070 XT has had since it launched.
