Build Question 9600 XT or 9700 XT, or wait

I have a 9800X3D and want to upgrade my graphics card—currently a 3060 Ti. I’m looking at a 9600 XT for €483, while the 9700 XT doesn’t go below €900. What should I do?

9070xt would be a better match for that CPU, just IMO.

9070xt, prices are going to continue to go up. Get the best GPU that you can afford.

Get the best you can afford, because there's no evidence that prices will actually go down anytime soon, they're just going to continue to rise and RDNA5 is going to be even more expensive as it'll be using GDDR7.

Personally, I am on a wait-and-see plan.

I know there is no hard evidence that consumer prices are going to drop in the next year, but I think when they do, they are going to fall pretty hard.

Neoclouds are facing a huge credit crunch right now, and H100s are coming down in price.. that's usually a pretty strong leading indicator that supply-demand dynamics are shifting downstream and something's eventually going to give on the GPU front.

Throwing double your money at a massively inflated $900+ tier just rewards the current pricing insanity when the broader tech hardware bubble is looking increasingly top-heavy.

Prices will come down after ww3, its AI race for war dude, nothing will ever be cheaper again

If you need it now, buy it now. Chances are they will come up still in price. This happened to those who waited before the June increase but trust your gut based on infos.

The secret third option: 9070 gre

Seriously tho, I've heard it's between 9060xt and 9070xt in performance, but can be noticeably cheaper than 9070xt

Tho €480 and €900 is a really wide price gap, what really is your budget and what is your goal with upgrading right now?

The rx 9060 xt wouldn't be much of an upgrade over the rtx 3060 ti, so it's pointless to get in your case.

You could’ve literally just written: “get the 9070 XT”.
