In an unexpected twist in the GPU market, AMD’s Radeon RX 9070 XT has surged ahead in sales, particularly in Germany. This flagship RDNA 4 GPU is outperforming expectations, signaling a shift in consumer preferences within the region.
AMD RX 9070 XT Leads German Market
The Radeon RX 9070 XT is not just any upper mid-range GPU; it is proving to be a standout performer in the market. Recent sales data highlights its dominance, with nearly 925 units sold, surpassing the combined sales of NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 50 series, which managed to ship only 920 units. Such figures, though from a single retailer, offer insights into current consumer trends and preferences in Germany.
Radeon RX 9060 XT Also Gaining Ground
Alongside the RX 9070 XT, the Radeon RX 9060 XT is showing promising sales figures with 515 units sold in the same period. Together, these AMD models have outsold the entire lineup from NVIDIA and Intel. Despite its strong performance, the RX 9070 has not managed to capture gamers’ attention, selling only 40 units due to the competition from the RTX 5070, which boasts similar capabilities but superior RT performance.
Global Trends and Future Prospects
Despite its strong performance in Germany, the RX 9070 XT does not top the sales charts globally. In other regions, NVIDIA’s RTX 5070 often claims the top spot. However, current observations place the RX 9070 XT as a leader in major North American retailers like Amazon and Newegg. This impressive sales performance for the RX 9070 XT is partly due to recent price reductions, bringing it closer to its launch MSRP.
Ultimately, the recent sales figures at MF highlight AMD’s current lead over NVIDIA with a total of 1,560 units shipped compared to NVIDIA’s under 1,000 units. As more consumers are attracted by the RX 9070 XT’s competitive pricing, its market influence continues to grow.
