    Where I live the cheapest 9070 (non XT) costs USD 635, and this is sort of a special price (albeit it could become base in a few months). Median competitive price is closer to USD 700+.

    Cheapest 5060 (8GB) is around USD 340 (median competitive is close).

    5060 Ti (16 GB) is around USD 550 (median competitive is close).

    AMD in my country is no go outside of some older, super low end SKUs (but you can also get better Nvidia cards second hand).

    I don’t care about brands, but where I live AMD is not really competitive (assuming like for like software support).

        No worries, I get that.

        I am just saying globally prices are more variable. I can’t speak for EU specifically, but our prices generally track EU (more so than US).

        AMD needs to compete directly with Nvidia, but they won’t since GPUs are a (US) government backed oligopoly.
