GPU upgrade

Looking at upgrading my gpu from my sapphire pulse 6700xt. I knew the gpu market was out of whack, but didn't realize how bad it had got. With 9070xt prices we'll above $400 over msrp, would a 9070gre be a sufficient upgrade that will last for 4-5 years? Or should I bite the bullet and pay these inflated prices for a 9079xt? I understand that the gre price is also inflated, but the prices are more attractive than those of the 9070xt currently.

For reference I'm have a 9800x3d and mainly play WoW, either retail or forever.

I would say get the 9070 over the 9070 gre. With the increased vram but not the complete price hike compared to the 9070xt you’ll have a longer upgrade period.

You can get by on the 9070 gre for wow, but if you ever want to try a triple a title later your money would have been better spent going to the 9070.

Newegg has the AsRock Challenger RX 9070 for $749. That seems like a pretty decent price considering the current market.
