According to figures from @TechEpiphany, the RX 9070 XT shifted 245 units in just one week, thrashing the RTX 5070 and leaving the RTX 5080 buried in the charts. Worse still forNvidia: MindFactory didn’t move a single RTX 5090 during the same period, a stark signal of either limited availability or zero demand.

The RX 9070 XT’s popularity may not just be about performance — AMD’s mastery of inventory this round has ensured that buyers could get their paws on the kit. It’s a different story with NVIDIA’s RTX 50 series, where cards are thin on shelves and thick with mark-ups well above MSRP.

AMD has also seen some price creep, but at least its cards are in stock. Meanwhile, the mid-range RTX 5060 was supposed to rescue the situation, but its own MSRP-busting pricing is just souring the deal further.

With RDNA 4 continuing to batter expectations, and the RX 9060 waiting in the wings, AMD is poised to tighten the screws even more in the coming months.
