My local Micro Center had the new AMD cards for about 2 days and since then not a single SKU shows up on the website search.
Two days is pretty crazy for a new GPU. My local store (Canada) was sold out in about 15 minutes.
Keep checking, found quite a lot of them online in Germany.
Interesting, that actually does change up the decision-making calculus a bit between the 9070 and 9070 XT. 10% improved fps and much lower TDP is always nice
The XT probably undervolts a lot better. Higher end cards almost always undervolt very well. Especially considering the XT doesn't have that many more cores, but has a LOT higher clock speeds.
Are there any people trying the same thing on the XT?
You can do the same with the XT for very similar results.
My 9070XT is holding 3400mhz at -100mv 110% power, +100mhz memory for a (title dependent) 10% performance gain.
Why are people talking about undervolting hardware now? It is because of Nvidia burning connectors?
huh? Undervolting has been part of overclocking for as long as I can remember
I think undervolting is bursting out of the niche area now for some reason, I've seen articles about it in unrelated sites.
It is because it’s only recently been effective. In the past people would swear by under volting but there was no actual performance increase with minor temp improvements.
I hope AMD keep making powerful gpus, Nvidia seems to be creating some sort of scarcity consumer mentality only to compensate with upscaling tech, while AMD does that in some level I hope their don't downgrade the hardware in the same way.
