LOL something like that exactly what people have been asking for. Highend performance for £250-300.

Louder. That's the trade off.
Alternately a custom card and add more fans to your case.
They are sold in $USD though, much like oil and many other globally sold commodities.

Because many here pull it out and state it as fact.
Not just that, but NVIDIA is a US company.
Can't see what that would achieve except confusion. The hints were quite strong.
It also matches the earlier leak which said the some of the lower tier cards would be branded GTX.
Many board partners arent though. But they buy the GPUs from Nvidia in $USD and therefore to minimise risk sell their final cards in USD. It then directly ties in with the price they have paid to Nvidia and also the $ is seen as a stable currency for a global commodity, it's standard practice.

the thing with the reference cards is they take the heat and remove it from your case. (but no they are not that quiet!!!)
When you said limited airflow i assumed you meant because you were limited to a very small case....... if you are not however and if your case is big, but just without fans there is 1 obvious solution ...................
(buy more fans for it! - and if there is nowhere to fit them, then tbh buy a new case!!! i think my case was £30 from overclockers and whilst it only came with a couple of fans it has heaps of mounting points.). it would be a pretty awful case to not even have fan mounting points however even if they are not installed. my cooler master case in my arcade from must be 10 years ago now has at least 3 points to mount fans - front, back and top.
Personally i would never beholden to a specific gpu just because of a case.. you really do not have to go mad as i said above..... very quick look and this would probably do

judging by the current theme of things, it will be priced at £450 and just called something different, rinse and repeat.
All component is sold in USD, irrelevant of source of manufacturer.
Except AMD have stated a number of times they are NOT a cut price brand anymore which has been echoed by their pricing of recent releases.

For a long time AMD + ATI was worth LESS than what AMD paid for ATI , They also sold off there handset division to Qualcom in 2009 and look how important mobile graphics are today in the mobile space, there has been a few other blunders as well.

You said high end. The original quote you responded to was 1080 performance. Obviously it depends how many years down the line before this card is released.And why would selling a card for £250 make you a "cut price brand"

Exactly, 1080 performance at £250 and less power use would be a blinding lil card !!
Ha, this is far more likely xD

a lot of assumption and presuming current rumours are true on my part
Well Navi is rumoured to be a Polaris replacement and the ballpark price of a RX480/580
is £250 or so . If its a slot in replacements I don't see Navi shaking up pricing unless the 2060 is trash.
Now a Navi chip at £250-300 that performs like a 1080ti while a 2060 at the same price only giving you 1080 performance, that would send ripples though Nvidia's pricing
I didn't want to quote from a page ago but while not many agree that AMD buying ATI was a great idea can you imagine how nvidia would be behaving if they had a complete monopoly? I doubt we'd even be beyond 980's and they'd be £800 each and the ti would be £1k. While their top end can't match nvidia's efforts it does at least keep the green team semi honest.

the less power thing would be hard for AMD unless they dropped GCN and made something new

most electronic goods are traded in USD is my understanding
£300 is high end money and the 1080 already is many years down the line.
