The ASRock Challenger Radeon RX 9070 bundle stands out as a 16GB card aimed at 1440p and higher settings, with the extra 4GB of VRAM seen as its biggest long-term advantage. The 9070 is described as about 18 percent faster than the GRE, and that extra memory is expected to help more as newer games demand more VRAM. The main hesitation is price, since similar cards and even the XT model have been seen for less, and the bundled AIO and game add value only if they are actually useful. It is a stronger fit for buyers who want the memory headroom than for anyone chasing the lowest price per frame.
1440p gamers who want extra VRAM headroom, because the 16GB frame buffer can help when newer games start exceeding 12GB.
The RX 9070 is about 18% faster than the GRE and adds 4GB more VRAM, so it is the better pick if you want more headroom. A $600 price point is the target value, while $680 is closer to a linear price-to-performance step up from recent GRE pricing.
It is not really a 4K-focused purchase unless you are playing at 4K, and for most games 12GB is enough. The extra 4GB on the 9070 is mainly about future-proofing and avoiding VRAM limits later.
If you do not need the AIO bundle right away, waiting for the XT can make more sense because the same model's XT has been seen at Best Buy for only about $40 more. The XT is the stronger buy when you can wait and do not specifically want the included extras.
Yes, there is a separate Best Buy listing for the ASRock Challenger Radeon RX 9070 16GB card alone if you do not want the extra items. That option avoids paying for the AIO and bundle extras.

Unless you need one super urgently and you have use for the AIO, might be better to wait for the XT of the same model to come back in stock at best buy for only $40 more.
GRE was $500 recently, is the regular 9070 that much better??
the 9070 is around 18% faster than the GRE. So $600 would be where you want it. However there's been recent price increases on AMD cards, including the GRE which I've seen around $580 normal price and $520 on sale, so $680 would be the "linear" price:performance increase.

You also get an extra 4GB of VRAM on the 9070, which might not (yet) translate into performance but surely will in 2 years or so when game devs target 16GB VRAM models.
Ask me how I know... I have an RTX 3070 which is powerful enough to run a lot of things at 1440P with RT on but gets gimped as soon as the 8GB of VRAM (which is really 6.5GB after Windows and apps) gets exhausted.

agree, you are really buying the extra 4GB VRAM. that extra VRAM will "future proof" this GPU more than anything else...

1440p gamers who want extra VRAM headroom, because the 16GB frame buffer can help when newer games start exceeding 12GB.
Players planning to keep a graphics card for years, because the extra 4GB of VRAM is the main future-proofing advantage.
Gamers who need a card for 4K play, because the price only makes sense when you are actually targeting 4K.
Builders who want the graphics card alone, because the same model is listed without the extra AIO and game bundle items.
Shoppers comparing against a cheaper GRE, because the regular 9070 is only about 18% faster and can feel overpriced above the target price.

Gamers who only play 1080p or lighter titles, because 12GB is enough for the vast majority of games.

Lucked out with an XFX Swift 9070 White for $400 on amazon earlier this year when I got some random 30% off coupon.
