Hilariously the 3080 12gb has been as cheap at times or cheaper than the 10gb in the UK.

Good showing. The prices are below what I thought they'd be, which is amazing to see. I don't mind personally if the 7900XTX doesn't match the 4090; it's so much cheaper that it doesn't matter. And the size of the card and the efficiency of the architecture is a huge draw for me. I can't wait to see the 7600XT/7700XT cards, because those are designs I'd be interested in buying. I'd be happy with a 6800, but they're too big and bulky and hot.
Funny how ALLLL the leaks and rumours about clock speeds were wrong. Everyone was insisting on 3Ghz or more, but it's actually the same or even lower than RDNA2. Maybe AMD at the last minute decided not to push them because they knew they didn't need to? Excited to see what AIB partners can do once they push these to 450W with 3x8-pin connectors.
Probably, yeah. But that happens with Nvidia as well. And when it doesn't, it's because Nvidia is attempting to remove AIB partners completely and take over full control.

a quick look at the three biggest retailers here shows that no 4090 card under 2200 euro is in stock.
in fact i just checked again.
two of the retailers don´t even list 4090 models. you only get a general "out of stock" notice.
on the third website i see ONE (out of 24) 4090 in stock. the inno3d 4090 ichili black for 2439 euro.
imho ...when the radeons are close to MSRP they will be a hit.
i personally don´t know a single person, beside my brother who got one from work, who bought a 4090 or want to buy one for 2000+ euro.
my circle of acquaintances are other engineers in their 40s and other people with fairly decent income. but they don´t want to spend 2000 euros on a graphics card.
i wonder who buys this stuff?
when i speak with colleagues, they tell me they wait for 3090 and 3090TI to become cheaper. others are willing to wait a few month and look what a 4070 will bring.

These are quite compelling. Still can't afford it however.

Likewise, I've been wanting an all Team Red rig for some time, I'm quietly confident we'll soon see something I can pair with my 5800X3D build.

What's funny is that there are some (Coreteks on YouTube for example) who think AMD have failed with RDNA3. He was expecting the 7900XTX to be $500-600 while performing where it is. I was dumbfounded that someone could be so delusional. Even if AMD had the opportunity to sell their 7900XTX at $600 and still make a profit, they wouldn't. Why would they when they could charge $1000 and sell only slightly fewer units?
