I do think there's going to be a decent power limit difference between the chonky boys and the baseline models. Given that some have 2 8pins and some have 3. So that could be a pretty good indicator. Yet to see how much difference it makes though. AMD did mention, very briefly, in their announcement that some parter cards would be 340w and they showed a slide of those being 2% faster than the 5070ti instead of 2% slower. So maybe it's good?

We live in rip off britain though where every business tries to screw over as many people as possible by overcharging as much as possible so that $600 will likely translate into £700.

This. I'm gonna have to transfer some cash from the savings acct to my current and knowing prices would be helpful. Guessing the Nitro+ and Red Devil will be considerably more expensive than some of the base models.

What are we expecting for EU pricing on the xt? Base models around €700?
Its the tax, which is just a pseudo tariff that's the killer, its the government double dipping on our enrings, after paying income tax the government helps them selves to another £20 out of every £100 we spend on something that isn't a life essential so they can spend billions on crap no one voted for let alone know about.

From experience, you could end up being on a cached server where the things you want to use like buy button, price labels pretend to be functional but by the time you find this out you get the obligatory "sorry dude but.." (or webserver error message) and the window has long passed. The best thing ocuk could do is provide a link on the forum of a bunch of cards so that people can click it and hopefully force the behaviour to work as intended so you can purchase.
I mean it is AMD so generally you wont get as much traffic as a large cohort just wont entertain them so that goes in your favour here.

My local council just got a gilded stair case and gilded lift... not even joking, Meanwhile the roads are falling to pieces and there is actual faecal matter in the water supply. Taxation at this point = theft.

Council tax is a third level of taxation, there is also a 4'th.
We are over taxed in this country and yes a lot of it is wasted on narcissistic crap.

Will you upgrading mate? I’m undecided as my card plays everything well but I’ve had to tweak it to get another 10-14% more performance out of it.
IMO Sapphire are about as good as it gets for GPU's.
My 7800 XT Pulse is half the size and weight of the MSI Gaming X it replaced, uses the same power and yet runs much quieter and cooler, TPU tested it at 26 db for 68c, how did they do that, the card is tiny not even compared to these behemoths but pretty much any modern GPU, they did that through good design and engineering.
There is only one card that is cooler and quieter, its the Nitro+
Talking about fuses, Nvidia nor any of their partners put fuses on their GPU's, if they did these cables wouldn't burn up, the board components would explode when it goes wrong.... my £480 Pulse has 3 fuses, one for each power inlet, including the motherboard side PCIe.
Yes, but not right away...

I think someone replied to that with something I hadn't thought of, which is, what's the point of the pass through if you're then gonna block over the fins with whatever that is to stop the cables getting damaged. I realise there are some holes, but you'll also have the cables in there. I'm torn whether I like that idea or not, I also worry about the mess of cables exiting the card on the motherboard (tray) side.
Sadly ALL these businesses do is profiteer.

Yeah I saw that pretty much blocked hmmm
How much is it really gonna effect thermals I think not much at all
Cables should be hidden by the size of the card , also the 12VHPWR connector splits for 8 pin so the connector only should be going into the tray back it's not thick as 3 x 8 pin
You are not gonna see the cables once the cover is on

I know it's meant to be roughly a 7900XT and not 7900XTX but that card is smexy and I'm half tempted to sell my 7900XTX Nitro just for the newer features !
