I can say locally here in Arctic Mexico, the 9070XT remains the only card I can find available at or around MSRP. You can find plenty of stock for $1000 moose shekels (about $720 in real money). By contrast, the absolute cheapest 9060XT 16GB card I’ve seen is $675CAD (about $486USD), well above the launch MSRP, and an insane price for a budget card, absolutely not worth the cash savings at all compared to a $1000 9070XT.

Nvidia? Forget about it. Unless you’re using the card to generate money, just get a 9070XT at this point and deal with the funky drivers. The 5070Ti alternative to the 9070XT will set you back about $500CAD extra. Yes, it will render leather jackets with DLSS 5 and ray tracing, but that isn’t worth 500 bucks.
 
A look at the current graphics card market reveals a development that can now be called clearly positive compared to two weeks ago. — as per an analysis by 3dCenter.org of GPU prices

The question that arises from this is, of course, how sustainable this development is - or whether this would not simply level out the additional price exaggerations from mid-May and then nothing further (downwards). The delivery quantities cautiously speak a different language, apparently now substantially more goods are arriving. This was indicated by a tweet from VideoCardz during the week . Of course, everything now depends on whether these delivery quantities of the completed week can subsequently become permanent. Only then can the mountain of demand that has been pent up for several months be removed - which will then break out as soon as street prices drop to a reasonably tolerable levelshould .
