My local Micro Center had the new AMD cards for about 2 days and since then not a single SKU shows up on the website search.

Two days is pretty crazy for a new GPU. My local store (Canada) was sold out in about 15 minutes.

Keep checking, found quite a lot of them online in Germany.

Interesting, that actually does change up the decision-making calculus a bit between the 9070 and 9070 XT. 10% improved fps and much lower TDP is always nice

The XT probably undervolts a lot better. Higher end cards almost always undervolt very well. Especially considering the XT doesn't have that many more cores, but has a LOT higher clock speeds.

Are there any people trying the same thing on the XT?

huh? Undervolting has been part of overclocking for as long as I can remember

It is because it’s only recently been effective. In the past people would swear by under volting but there was no actual performance increase with minor temp improvements.
