But I'd happily pay the $599 MSRP

[The RX 9070 XT's] place as the most popular AMD card right now isn't overly surprising, as although its price has risen considerably since launch, it remains one of the ~~best~~ least-worst bang-for-buck cards around, and sits at a price that's ~~aspirationally affordable~~ absolutely ludicrous for many buyers.

That "average price" includes cards with factory overclocks and other enhanced gimmicks to jack up the MSRP above what the base 9070XT is supposed to be. What does it look like for the specific models of cards that were actually intended to hit the $599 price point?
