£570 is not bad, but most on OCUK's site are way above that at around £700-800. That's awful pricing.

No that's reality pricing you do realise anything below 700 is value the ones at 800 are the extreme versions and asus the fact sapphire are at 699 with the nitro plus is a steal in the current market literally a steal.
Msrp and rrp are very different things and there are cards close to the 650 mark like we said reasons for the close gap in msrp as it's and advisory not a hard limit like rrp is.

Your version of "literally a steal" and mine are very different. A midrange GPU replacing a high-end GPU with the same performance-per-dollar AND performance-per-watt for the same money with less VRAM and bandwidth is not a steal to me. £800 is 1/5 pricing to me. £700 is 2/5. £600 is 3/5. £550 is 4/5. That's what I would consider 'realistic ratings', as in, I'm rating those prices based on where the market would realistically be if there weren't such absurdities as COVID, mining, AI, etc.
I'd understand if you were to say, 'Well, COVID, mining, AI, they exist. What we have now is the best there is.' While I understand that, I think it's awful. I don't think it's a steal. If my wages went up in relative to it, I would think it's fine. But we've seen clear proof that inflation is not the main cause for these price hikes. And it's not TSMC either. RDNA4 is made on a refined 5nm that's been around for a long time and has seemingly good yields. I don't see an excuse for this other than a lack of incentive to compete.

The 9070xt isn’t exactly mid range it’s upper midrange the 7800xt 7700xt is midrange the 9070xt is faster than the 7900xt and that launched at 800+ you’re literally looking at more performance for 100 cheaper

Yeah, sorry, you're right, it is upper midrange in terms of what it's replacing. It's more of a replacement to the 9700 GRE, which is upper midrange like you said.
As far as the 7900XT, that can be had right now for €750. That's €50 more than the cheapest 9070XT. That's not amazing in my opinion. It's good because it offers better RT, cooler temps, FSR 4 (which looks amazing so far), and €50 better value. But I know I may sound grumpy when I say this, but it's not amazing, not to me.
It seems to be commonplace now that older upper-tier cards stay relevant because the successive midrange cards keep creeping up in price as the high-end previous gen SKUs slowly fall. In the past that did not happen as much.

Well in my view it’s a very good buy im more than aware of my card and how i got it literally been waiting for a viable option the last few years my card in c19 was selling for £1500 online its been a hella good card that was a msrp of 680 so these being very similar prices at a good 50-60% gain in all areas is a bigger win than ive seen in the last 5 years.

The idea of "premium" GPUs made a lot more sense in the days where "reference" models used loud blower fans and GPU overclocking could deliver big performance increases. Today, you don't get anywhere near as much for your money with "premium" cards.
Honestly, what I find interesting is the price of GPUs from brands that make Nvidia GPUs compared to the prices of brands that don't. The AMD-only brands are sticking to lower prices overall. The only exception is the PowerColor Limited Edition Red Devil, which has a lot of added extras.

This gimmick has backfired for overclockers as their website broke, which is a joke in this day and age, all the stock went, and now the prices are jacked up by a minimum of £60+, meaning they are selling nothing remotely close to MSRP.
Another GPU launch and Overclockers are doing the same shit as last time - scalp a little, but not a lot enough to place them in-between Scan, who sells at the MSRP, and CCL, who are priced almost the same as scalpers.
