the price is around 72K , but msrp is $599(50k rupees ).
how long i have to wait for the price to go down to msrp?

Graphic Cards Is it worth it to buy 9070xt now?

- Start date
USD MSRP will never happen here, for multiple (and obvious) reasons.
Best case? 65K or so.

You didn't include taxes and currency margin in MSRP. Fair price should be around 65k but i dont think we will get them at the said price anytime soon. The lowest I have seen them drop currently is 70k.

Not worth it... 5070 similar price, similar performance
Amd always gets lower sale because their terrible pricing at launch. They think they can compete with nvidia. But if two similar graphics card at similar price by nvidia n amd. I will always buy nvidia, just because i can do more than gaming if i want, like running local ai, edit videos, running video upscalling software etc. so suppose even if nvidia is little behind raster performance i will still buy nvidia. Because AMD gpu is a piece of bricks other than gaming, also they are quite poor in terms of PCB design, mosfet and memory cooling... Brands themselves cut costs because they know the sales would be low..
I honestly think the price of 9070 should be at 30-35k rs and 9070xt at 40-45k rs. If they really want to make sales in india (or anywhere else to a normal person, not youtuber/reviewer)

And you think nvidia prices are right for the gaming performance, features and use cases you listed ?
9070 XT has 5070 Ti level performance for nearly 15-20k less. OP asked for an AMD gpu price so its good to assume he doesn't want to do productivity tasks.
I agree with you on this but nvidia pricing is more shitier than AMD.
PS: I have a 5070 Ti but i still sometimes regret of buying it over a 9070 XT.
The highlighted part is the only (somewhat) sensible sentence in this entire statement, and I mean that very loosely.
The rest of it just sounds like a fanboy rage-rant, with no organized dissection of pros and cons.

Nvidia price are justifiable..they are being generous to sell a 5070 at 60k including GST. DLSs works really good, runs cooler, eats less power.
You never own a amd GPU dude, stop being delusional. Amd gpu sucks, runs hotter, undervolting is also unstable. Gpu board manufacturer do cost cut heavily on amd graphics card like asus, zotac, gigabyte, msi. Everybody knows stock will not going to be cleared unless there's chip shortage..
Let the market speak for itself

Inflation adjusted core config across Nvidia series by Gamers Nexus. "Generous" pricing for a xx50 card at the price of a xx70 card.
Dude, I run both a Nvidia and an Amd gpu. I run cad, adobe and other 3d software on my Amd card. It all works just fine.
If you want to buy Nvidia because you have had good experiences with it sure go for it. Jensen does need more money. He only has the one leather jacket.
But my man, where are you hearing about bad pcb design on the amd cards? Buildzoid has a full series on how amd's power delivery is load-balanced on the Vegas using simple engineering rather than any sort of active monitoring system that was in the 20 series nvidia. Think of it like Nasa making a super fancy and expensive pen that can work in zero G vs just using a pencil.
Plus the 50 series founders board design is pretty bad. You've heard about the nvidia cards' power connectors melting, right? Plus it was very easily avoidable with a second connector or just not making the 12v 2x6 as one common bus with no possible way to load balance it. (though that is more of an atx specification stupidity)
This also goes back. They used to put fuses in the cards so that its easy to repair.
Then there is the fact that board manufacturers like Gigabyte, Asus, Asrock design their own pcb. Nvidia and Amd give a "reference" design which tells the manufacturers what is required to run it at minimum. Then board partners can go higher or lower and do their own design. You cant say that they cut costs with Amd and not with Nvidia when things like the 7900xtx aqua exist. Besides, GN spoke about how Nvidia squeezes its partners. How Evga would make 4$ profit on a 600$ graphics card.
And this is not to say that Amd is awesome and Nvidia is shit. No.
All companies have both good products and shit products.
