If anyone says this launch was a paper launch they didn’t even TRY to buy one. 9070 XTs were still selling at 3:30 PM, at Microcenter in Indy. The GM in Indy was outside saying they had over 500 XT models alone in inventory.

It was a paper launch online with all the bots winning the stock. If you were at Microcenter for the whole first day you won a gpu.

For me when I hear any phrase that that begins or ends with the words "live near a Micro Center", I recognize that the phrase is the exception proving the rule. I, like most people who live on Earth and don't live near a Micro Center, the RDNA4 launch was more of the same with not enough supply to meet demand. As of this hour, I still haven't gotten a RX 9070. I only hope that by the time I have the opportunity to get one, it will still be a approximately MSRP.

NGL, is it potentially the black screen is just DSC compression issues ? Since it is new GDDR7 I am wondering if DSC compression can't keep up. Could anyone test it.

MSRP was originally a price that stated the lowest price the manufacturer would sell a product in the company store to protect retail sellers from being undercut by builder. It was not intended to be a greatest cost but instead a least price. It only becomes a least price when the the builder has volume jn their store.

It’s not normal behavior for someone with a job and kids to leave the house at midnight in the middle of the week to drive many hours through the night to a Microcenter to purchase a toy.
