These prebuilt RX 9070 series gaming PCs cost less than the 5090 alone
Table of Contents
AMD fans are currently looking forward to the RX 9070 and 9070 XT GPUs, which are expected to arrive in early March. If you're planning to get a prebuilt PC that comes packed with any of the two GPUs, then you'll be glad to know that we've finally spotted the first few listings on Newegg.
The interesting part is that these prebuilt PCs cost less than the RTX 5090 alone, which has an MSRP of $1,999. On top of that, shortages of the flagship GPU have driven prices much higher, though Nvidia has been quick to make amends by rolling out its Priority Access program, giving fans a chance to grab one at MSRP.

It is, however, important to keep in mind that the three PCs are currently not available for pre-order. At the moment, you can use the ‘Auto notify' feature to sign up for alerts. This way, you'll get notified whenever the PC becomes available so you can order it before it runs out of stock.
How is the RX 9070 series shaping up?
In any case, the RX 9070 and 9070 XT are shaping up to be decent mid-range cards. While AMD has not revealed anything about their specifications or price yet, several leaks and rumors have surfaced in the past few weeks.
According to the latest one, the 9070 will have a game clock speed of 2,070 MHz and a boost clock of 2,540 MHz, paired with 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM and a 220W TDP. The XT model, on the other hand, is expected to have a 2,400 Mhz game clock speed, 2,970 Mhz boost clock speed, the same VRAM, but a higher TDP of 304W.
