In this market, take what you can get. I'd rather have a 3x8-pin, but I don't see any of those at a reasonable price point.
Yeah I've been tracking these for a bit and the prices have only gone up, not down. Out of curiosity, is your concern with a only having two 2x8s that it won't hold up safely with an aggressive OC?
I don't get the concern over 2x8. I have this card and have pointed a non contact thermometer at the cables a few times . Not science, but from a "will they melt" perspective they never even get really warm even with as much oc as my example can handle.
That ain't it, Chief. This was bottom of the barrel when it came to the 9070 XT's release where I would see this one as either part of a bundle or priced at MSRP for a retailer's sales promotion.

This is actually the best 9070XT on the market. It has 3yr warranty, 2x8pin, and Honeywell PTM. Most 9070XT models only have 1 of those 3 things, and some of the more expensive models have none of those 3 things. The HSF is superior to most 9070XT models. The 8pin power connector is superior to the connectors on the more expensive 9070XT models. And the thermals/silicon lottery/undervolt potential is as good as any more expensive 9070XT.

Sold out. Really hoping to wake up tomorrow and see my order status changed to Shipped. Still kicking myself for missing out on the XFX Swift on the non-XT version for $620 on newegg, but this is the next best thing I could find. I came really close to buying the Mercury XT for $790 from newegg before that sold out too. My plan was to wait another month to see if anything else popped up but I'm no longer willing to take that chance. Nothing in this world makes sense right now.

You might as well be talking about 10 years ago. The fact that this card can give you near 5080 gaming performance depending on the game for at least half the price in the current market is what actually matters for someone that needs a card. Not what bundle promos were a year ago when the market was substantially different.
Some knuckleheads have a hard time reading between the lines. The AsRock Challenger is the lowest tier 9070 XT available at retailers. I, myself bought an AsRock Steel Legend 9070XT last year during Prime Day from NewEgg for $670 so it would behoove me to buy the AsRock Challenger for almost $100 more. You diehard jarhead tribalists are way too sensitive and take any ounce of criticism towards your fav GPU manufacturer way too seriously. Get yourself a hobby, better yet get a girlfriend... Sheesh 🤦🏽 ♂️🙄🤷🏽 ♂️
