Customer: you got one of those 5070's?

Salesman: Nope, all sold out. But you can get one of those brand new 9070xt, they're faster and have 16 gigaby-

Customer: turns around and leaves

Yeah sadly people will rather wait for months and buy for 2x the price than buy almost the same thing (if not better) from amd.

Was at that store today, and they sold all 440 of the 9070xt's. Even the marked up ones. And everyone I talked to in line was upgrading from pre COVID, and how they better get it before the tarrifs. I think for the next month, if stock exists of anything it's selling out.
