RX 9070 XT Drops to $628.49 (Nov 2)

The week ending November 2, 2025 covered all seven daily pulls, with 3,572 to 3,996 eBay listings per snapshot. These were listing-market snapshots, not a full retail shelf survey, so the useful signal is movement inside the same source stream.

RTX 5070 held at $600.00 for 12GB, while RX 9070 XT moved down from $680.99 to $628.49 for 16GB. By the final snapshot, RTX 5070 was $28.49 cheaper than RX 9070 XT.

The memory math kept the trade-off honest: RTX 5070 ended the week at $50.00 per GB, while RX 9070 XT ended at $39.28 per GB. NVIDIA had the lower final checkout price by $28.49, while AMD had the roomier 16GB card and the better memory-per-dollar number. Compare them directly before treating either side as automatic.

Higher up the stack, the cheapest new RTX 5080 listings ranged from $1,641.68 to $1,649.57, while the cheapest new RTX 5090 listings ranged from $3,599.00 to $4,280.60. Those halo floors were useful anchors, but noisy enough that the practical buyer decision still lived in the RTX 5070 versus RX 9070 XT lane.

My read for this week: the RX 9070 XT became easier to justify, but the RTX 5070 remained the lower-cost new listing.
