Just have to hope the retailers like OCUK don't do their usual over the top greed and mark the cards up.

If there's plenty of stock, there should be competition from other retailers. OCUK don't overcharge much once there is adequate global stock.

I'm guessing Nvidia engineers will have to buy AMD cards this time too lol

At that price why not get a 5070ti?I got close, 504 timeout scuppered me
I don't like Nvidia
. And you can't get a 5070Ti for that price. My last gpus have been: 7900XT, 6800, VEGA64, R9 290, 7950, 6950 - you might see a pattern.
Last Nvidia card I had was a 8800 in the 00s.
Jenson and Co annoyed me a while back, same with Intel (my stance on Intel goes back to anti competitive business practises in the early 00s - had a brand new Asus A7M266 arrive in an unbranded white box). Nvidia's drivers lack cohesion, CUDA is a lockin and back in the day they cheated at benchmarks. Nvidia fanboi's are insufferable too.
Interestingly enough, I landed that exact card (Asus Prime 9070XT OC) a few hours later, same price.

Fair enough and thats a solid history of following AMD! Honestly if it wasn't for cuda I'd be making a switch to the 9070xt in a heartbeat but due to gen AI requirements, it's an annoying deal breaker.I don't like Nvidia

I doff my cap to OCUK. I mean yeah they have increased prices which sucks, but they have pieced out the inventory making Ebay prices slump. As in they have sold so many cards per day, let them sell out, then sell more the next. Which is causing havoc to Ebayers trying to make a mint.
On the topic of conversation F Nvidia. I decided that after lockdown. I paid 1600 quid for my last ever Nvidia card (2080Ti kingpin... Believe me I could have made bank selling that when covid kicked in !) and after the 30 series BS I am done with them.
I couldn't care if my life relied on them I would rather die and not even have a PC than buy another one of their scummy cards. AMD drivers have been amazing through all of my cards now. 6800XT, 6900XT and 6950XT (no I don't have upgraditis I still have all of them in separate PCs !) and yeah, no crashing issues or etc. Had plenty on the 2080Ti in PUBG.

Yes but you’re be wanting a 9070XT alien 
Was certainly worth the upgrade on the 6800XT thou nephew will be happy idk if he ordered parts yet but he at least knows as a father he hasn’t gotta fork out for a gpu it’s on borrow I’ll never sell it.

Arrived in Cork this morning. Good service from OCUK. It would not boot unless all 3 x 8pin populated, which scuppered my faithful 600w Evga spare psu, strange behaviour from a nominal 300W card. Picked up a nasty Thermaltake 750W from a nearby town and it sprang into life.
3DMark Nomad scored 7088 on a stock run with this boosting up to 3204Mhz and memory at 2505Mhz at a max of 50C (Lian-li O10 Mini Air)

Nah I'm not. Even the XTX hasn't tempted me. I just don't need anything else. My cards murder 1440P. Even Indy Jones was a breeze.

Bot detection......
Nah, they all went up 30 quid or more.
This is why I never even try, let alone buy, at launch. It's also why I won't buy Nvidia, who never drop their prices. Just launch a bunch of bolox super cards half way through the life cycle to keep the prices high. AMD? always drop their prices.
RRP on my 6800XT Strix LC was £999. I got it about 6 months after launch from OCUK for £729. Was B grade, but never used. At the time that was a proper score, as they were reaching £1300 on Ebay. The 6900XT Toxic was next. £440 from the OCUK member market. I was on holiday at the time lol.
The 6950XT I waited ages for. At the time I didn't need it, but then decided to build a TV PC which has now become the main one. £620 for the MBA from Amazon. Timed it well too, as about 2 weeks later that was it, no more 6000 series at all. At the time the 7900XT was £800 and the XTX a grand. The block for it cost me £140 though, but was half price. I've never counted blocks though as they are expensive no matter what and a luxury and pastime more than a neccessity.
However, it was during that time that my brain set a hard limit of £750 for a GPU. Down from infinity. I will never pay more than that again for any GPU.
After the 30 series games got into the stale part of the console dev cycle. IE, no matter how hard any game pushes a console you really don't need anything more than a high end 30 series or 6000 AMD series. Nothing has troubled any of my PCs since then. I don't remember exactly what settings I had Indy at but I played it all the way through on the 6950XT at 1440p on the TV without even so much as a burp. And it looked incredible.
It would take a serious ass game for me to want to even bother upgrading, and if I did it would mean 3 PCs which yeah.... That will hurt.
It just makes me relieved that when the prices settle I can easily replace any of my GPUs (if they break like, out of warranty) for less than my limit. I really don't mind doing that. Thing is, all three are under water of some kind so yeah, they never get close to anything resembling hot. And because the gaming load is spread between them depending what I am doing none of them take an every day pounding either.
I just don't see me "needing" a new one until the next wave of consoles come out. And even then it will take about two years for the dev cycle to hit and cause me any issues.
