Seventeen RX 9070 XT listings are in stock at Evetech right now, more than any other GPU in this price bracket, which means this is one of the rare tiers where you genuinely get to choose rather than take whatever is available. The RX 9070 XT price starts at R12,999, undercutting NVIDIA's closest competitor while matching it far more closely on ray tracing than any previous Radeon generation has managed. Here is the full lineup.

Quick Answer

The RX 9070 XT is available at Evetech from R12,999 including VAT, with 17 models in stock, the widest availability of any card in this performance bracket. Every version runs 16GB of GDDR6 on AMD's RDNA 4 architecture, built for strong 1440p and capable entry-level 4K gaming, and it undercuts the RTX 5070 Ti on price while closing much of the ray tracing gap that used to be Radeon's weak point.

Prices verified 16 July 2026. These are in-stock models at Evetech, cheapest first, and every price includes VAT.

  • XFX SWIFT RX 9070 XT 16GB GDDR6 GPU - RDNA 4, Ray Tracing: R12,999
  • XFX Quicksilver RX 9070 XT 2970MHz 4096-core Graphics Card: R14,999
  • ASUS Prime Radeon RX 9070 XT OC Edition Graphics Card PCIe 5.0: R15,199
  • ASUS Prime RX 9070 XT White OC - PCIe 5.0 GPU: R15,499

  • XFX Mercury Radeon RX 9070 XT OC 3100MHz Graphics Card: R15,999

The base XFX SWIFT at R12,999 undercuts the rest of the range by almost R2,000, making it the obvious starting point unless you specifically want the Quicksilver's higher factory clock or the white-themed ASUS and XFX cards for a colour-matched build. With six models and 17 units in stock, this is a lineup where you can actually shop by preference rather than settle for the only card available.

🟥 RDNA 4 and ray tracing: has AMD closed the gap

Previous Radeon generations traded blows with NVIDIA on rasterisation but fell noticeably behind once ray tracing was switched on. RDNA 4 changes that story meaningfully. The RX 9070 XT holds up well with ray tracing enabled in current titles, no longer the clear step down it used to be against an equivalent NVIDIA card. It is not a complete reversal, NVIDIA's DLSS ecosystem is still more mature and more broadly supported across older titles, but the gap that used to make Radeon a rasterisation-only recommendation has narrowed enough that ray tracing is no longer a reason to rule this card out.

🎯 RX 9070 XT vs RTX 5070 Ti: which should you buy

Priced from R12,999 against the RTX 5070 Ti's R17,999 starting point, the RX 9070 XT is meaningfully cheaper while landing in a similar 1440p-to-4K performance bracket, with 16GB of VRAM as standard rather than a size you have to select carefully. If you want the strongest ray tracing performance and the most mature upscaling ecosystem, the RTX 5070 Ti still leads. If price matters and you want strong 1440p performance with genuinely competitive ray tracing for the money, the RX 9070 XT is the harder card to argue against right now.

🔧 Other AMD options worth a look

Beyond the six cards above, Evetech also carries AsRock's take on the RX 9070 XT, worth comparing if you want a fourth brand in the mix, available on the AsRock graphics card range. If your need is professional visualisation or CAD work rather than gaming, it is also worth glancing at the separate workstation graphics card range, since a gaming card like the RX 9070 XT is the wrong tool for certified professional software workloads even though it excels at gaming.
