RX 9070 GRE | 12 GB: was $729.99 now $499
The RX 9070 GRE is the latest entry in AMD's RX 9000-series, and for the money, you're getting a great mid-range graphics card. If it stays at this price, then it will be the sensible choice over the 16 GB RTX 5060 Ti. Let's hope that there's enough supply, as stocks are already looking a bit thin. GOES LIVE AT 9AM PT, NOVEMBER 9
Key specs: 3072 shaders | 2920 MHz boost | 12 GB GDDR6

Get in the queue GPU people, because the RX 9070 GRE is going to be discounted down below its MSRP at 9am PT today, November 9, 2026. I don't know how long that's going to last for, or even how long stock will last, but if you're after a quality new mid-range graphics card you won't find better for cheaper.
The Radeon RX 9070 GRE started out life as a China-exclusive graphics card. A cheaper, weaker alternative to the RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT from AMD's latest RDNA 4 GPU lineup. But then in June this year it was unleashed worldwide, meaning that all of us have a chance at bagging a quality 12 GB graphics card with some impressive gaming chops.
It's actually a much better card than the RTX 5060 Ti, in either 8 or 16 GB trims, and does get mighty close to the RX 9070 in terms of raw performance. Especially when you start messing around with undervolting. In fact then you're looking at RTX 5070 levels of gaming performance, which isn't bad considering the RX 9070 GRE can be picked up for just $499 today in one of Newegg's Doorbuster sales.
The RTX 5070, by contrast is over $900 at its cheapest, and the RX 9070, the next step up in Radeon terms, is $853 at the moment. Of all the GPUs of this generation you can buy right now, the RX 9070 GRE in this deal is the only one that you will find below its MSRP.

It's been a very long time since any of the other current-gen GPUs have been under their own respective initial sales prices, and while I'm hopeful we'll see some more graphics card deals around Black Friday this year, I doubt any other card is going to come down to even match its MSRP, let alone beat it.
Which makes the RX 9070 GRE a beautiful anomaly, and well worth trying to get in the queue for at Newegg when this deal does go live at 9am PT today.
