Edit: likely will not qualify for 12% Rakuten - price remains at $850

5 remain in stock, this price even beats the Amazon prime day 9070 GRE that I had originally bought.

It does appear that the price hikes have *finally, been felt for the 9070 XT's. Short of a sale which have all but disappeared, $1,000 has been the established status quo for the last several months - which was where we were during the initial launch/scarcity phase. Holding down their price far better compared to the Nvidia equivalents, which have basically gone ape shit over the year. So as it stands:

• Right now, the cheapest entry point for one is $1,050 - which includes the XFX Quicksilver SKU on Newegg (linked in the post) - and the Gigabyte Gaming SKU at Memory Express is also priced at $1,050 - the former is cheaper if you can't buy in-store from Memory Express (no free shipping)
• The cheapest white option is the XFX Swift at $1,070; also at Memory Express

I expect that they'll go back to $1,000 come the holidays, as a "sale". But this will likely be the standard going forward.

I'm not sure how reliable these boards are so your milage may vary... Its about 50$ cheaper at bestbuy then on amazon.

Nice cheap 240mm AIO.

Ranked at B+ on the current SPL Tier List - only things I'd add is that there's only a pair of 1x8 PCIE's; no pig-tails. So something that needs 3 like most 9070 XT's won't fly here - and it only mentions having a 3 year warranty.
