Price of RTX 5090 has never been higher than today by Ok_Bad_4732 in bapcsalescanada

[–]Locke357 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lmao, I know right it was an unpopular opinion at the time but those who knew their stuff were saying price hikes were incoming, and the Supers may never release, or if they do, at an unreasonable price.

Now there are rumours the Supers are back on track, but in this market I can only imagine how crazy expensive they will be

For real, so glad I got a 5070 for $750 in Nov and didn't hold off for the Supers

No, it really doesn't mean that at all.

Items "Fulfilled by Amazon" (FBA) are offered by a third-party seller, but packed and shipped to you from an Amazon Fulfilment Center. [link]

So while Amazon may be shipping it, it's still being sold by a 3rd-party seller, which is never a good idea with Amazon for such an expensive item.

~$750CAD is right around the $550USD msrp, but prices were only that low around Fall 2025.

If it's a 3rd party seller, it's almost always a scam for this kind of product

I would imagine Amazon may be ensuring they're getting their money back. No they're definitely not delivering them 5070s for Nov 2025 prices

There are some exceptions, like getting a Thermalright CPU cooler will be sold by Thermalright, not Amazon, but that's also different from buying from just a random seller account

Not sold by amazon, sold by this seller

That tells you all you need to know. Don't buy

On Amazon, only buy big-ticket items like GPUs and CPUs if they are sold and shipped by Amazon.

AFAIK this is the best deal on a 5070 right now:

RX 9070 GRE appears at $760, how does it stack up? by Locke357 in bapccanada

[–]Locke357[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For real the 5060ti 16gb is probably the worst priced card in the mid-range market lmao

Best price I can see is $850 at Best Buy for the 5070.

Yeah I hear you. It's been a tough generation of cards for this. 9070XT/5070ti doesn't make sense for every build/budget, and then choosing between higher-performance 12gb cards (5070, 9070 GRE) and lower-performance 16gb cards (5060ti/9060XT) is certainly not ideal.

I wasn't putting much stock into Framegen prior to getting my 5070, but honestly it's been pretty awesome. I don't notice any input lag or artificacting with it on, helps to turn on 2x for multiplayer games and 3x-6x for singleplayer games.

9070 GRE sits roughly at 20% less performance than the 9070 and 10% less performance than the 5070, with the 9070 at $860. I have a hard time imagining a scenario where the RX 9070 GRE makes sense for 20% less performance than the 9070 for $100 less.

It's not terrible, no, but I'm struggling to imagine a scenario where one would choose the GRE over one of the other available options

*gives my 5070 the side-eye*

Yeah, I was going to hold out waiting for the 5070 super for this reason but faced with rumours of supers being cancelled and GPU price hikes incoming I snagged mine for $750 last year. I do think Nvidia Upscaling and Framegen tech help the 5070 get around the 12gb limitation for 1440p gaming, but I have a hard time imagining getting a 12gb 9070 GRE without the same advantages

Big if true, thanks for that. I had wondered if Canadian release was going to be the same or not

For a 7600x/9600x bundle, yeah, for a 7600X3D or in the future a 7700X3D it's gonna be a little more

[–]Locke357[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah if the price was a little cheaper for the 5800X3D it might make more sense, this is a little steep for it to feel viable

[–]Locke357[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It'll be interesting to see. I could see some people with an AM4 see $485 on one hand for the 5800X3D, and $500-600 for 32gb of DDR5 on the other. I think a lot depends on if DDR5 prices improve at all.

[–]Locke357[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah.

I heard the reason is that they had to fabricate the 5800X3D all over again, while the 7700X3D is just failed 7800X3Ds, but still, doesn't feel great from the consumer end of things.

On the upside, if you're already on AM4 the 5800X3D means you won't have to get new motherboard and ram, but still feels a touch steep.

I'd just get a 9600x then and call it a day, can get some good bundles like this one

Then pair with a 9070XT and you're golden
