The RX 9070 is one of AMD’s better GPUs for many years and is not that much slower than the XT version. It’s been so popular that it took months for the price to drop to anywhere near AMD’s MSRP. Sadly, prices are right back up again. You need to have a Newegg account and use the same email address to claim the $30 promo code.

I hoped, but did I expect Prime Day graphics card deals? In all honesty, given that we’ve been tracking GPU prices on a week-by-week basis since August last year, we knew that the base price of pretty much every graphics card had more or less plateaued. So, I had an inkling there would be a few actual price drops over Prime Day this year, and lo, it has come to pass.
And it has come to pass on our favorite graphics card of this generation, where the AMD Radeon RX 9070 has come in with a $570 price tag at Newegg thanks to its membership promo codes. Unlike Amazon’s own Prime Member deals, you don’t actually have to pay for Newegg’s, just given ’em some data (name and email address) and you’ll get a $30 promo code that knocks the price down from the listed $600.
That means you’re only $20 north of the original, and very much ephemeral, $550 MSRP the card launched with back in March of last year. And that makes it a very, very good card in this market, especially when it’s only a little short of the more expensive RX 9070 XT, which itself is only a little behind the hilariously expensive RTX 5070 Ti.

And when it comes to the poor RTX 5070 this is a GPU that can outperform it on the regular. Luckily, for those of an Nvidia persuasion, you can now get the RTX 5070 (again with a Newegg member promo code) for just $550. Though the fact you can also bag an RX 9070 GRE now for just $500 via Newegg leaves the green team’s card sandwiched between those two impressive AMD GPUs.
For me, well, I’d be spending my money on the RX 9070; it was too expensive when I first reviewed it, having already shrugged off its MSRP just after launch, but now it’s far too great a competition for Nvidia’s similarly priced offerings. It’s got 16 GB VRAM, it’s got a ton of 1440p gaming performance, and it has the undervolting potential baked into the Navi 42 GPU that makes it a really fun graphics card to just play with, too.
