RX 7800 XT climbs 5%, but used pricing lands at $449.99

The Radeon RX 7800 XT just moved the wrong way for new-card buyers. Amazon’s live price climbed from $569.99 to $599.99 today, a $30 increase that works out to 5.3%. That leaves this 16 GB card one cent below $600 and about 20% above its $499 launch MSRP.

The used side is much more tempting. The cheapest eligible eBay listing we fetched today is $449.99, exactly $150 below Amazon’s new price. A 25% discount is large enough to make the warranty and seller history worth weighing instead of dismissing used outright.

The sharper comparison is now AMD against AMD. We verified an RX 9070 at the exact same $599.99 on Amazon, with 16 GB of memory. At equal new prices, the RX 7800 XT is hard to justify. Compare the RX 7800 XT and RX 9070 side by side before buying either one.

The RTX 5070 is still nearby. It held at $635.99 on Amazon, while Newegg’s refreshed listing came in at $629. That puts only $29.01 between Newegg’s RTX 5070 and either $599.99 Radeon, making the choice more about the GPU and software stack than a large price gap.

One housekeeping note matters for the RTX 4070 Super. Its old Amazon page now identifies the product as Renewed and no longer exposes a qualifying buy box, so we replaced it with a verified new GIGABYTE listing at $839. That is a listing change, not a clean apples-to-apples overnight market jump. The live used listing at $539.99 is the more useful number there today.

The RTX 4060 needed the same maintenance. Its old page is now Renewed, so the tracked new listing moved to a verified GIGABYTE card at $427.41. Treat that history jump as a listing replacement too, not a market-wide overnight increase. Its live used listing is $249.99.

If the RX 7800 XT is on your shortlist, new pricing got worse today while used pricing stayed compelling. Check both routes before paying the new-card premium.
