Where to Preorder/Purchase?

Your best bets are Best Buy, Newegg, and Amazon (online). Micro Center will have in-store sales only. Availability is unknown, but Wccftech reports higher RX 9070 XT shipments than all Nvidia RTX 50 series GPUs combined.

To maximize your chances, check all retailers and purchase from the first that allows checkout. Expect high demand.

Amazon

Amazon is a major retailer, but finding these GPUs requires careful searching. Avoid marketplace vendors with inflated prices. Prioritize listings "shipped and sold by Amazon."

Best Buy

Best Buy is likely a good option, offering various brands (Sapphire, XFX, Asus, Asrock, Gigabyte, Powercolor). Availability depends on your region. Best Buy generally ships quickly.

Newegg

Newegg, similar to Best Buy, should carry all models. Buy directly from Newegg (not marketplace vendors) for warranty coverage. Expect quick shipping unless backordered.

Micro Center (In-Store)

Micro Center is your best in-store option if you live nearby. Expect high demand and arrive early.
