*** The AMD RDNA 4 Rumour Mill ***

Now let's do some price/performance charts of the RX9070 non-XT is at £600.

The RX7800XT launched at £480 and went as low as £400 a few months ago.

The RX9070 non-XT is only 26% faster at qHD:

So at £600,the RX9070 non-XT has no price/performance improvements over an RX7800XT and if we look at realworld pricing has a decrease in price/performance.

That is the scalped price.

Gibbo and some UK reviewers said the launch RRPs were temporary due to the rebate.

After the rebate there is +£50 on each price. So the price will gravitate for the RX9070 non-XT closer to £600.

But the issue there are no reference cards,and no AIB partners have to make RRP cards,just like with Nvidia.

So a lot of the cards actually are designed to sell for more it appears.

This is sadly the consequence of what we saw during the Pandemic. Enforced shortages seem to work as people due to FOMO will pay more.

Sucks for many of us,but I can't really compete with Whales sadly. They ruined the market for all of us.

Your estimated wait time is more than 4 hours.​

No it's not, for you the wait time is over :cry:

It's somewhat amusing how the wait time kept going up. I thought the idea of a queue was that it was first in first out. Think they've got a first in last out stack implementation

Does your bank show a transaction and do you have any form or order confirmation email?

Mine crashed at the same spot after I confirmed after accepting it in my HSBC app, wondering if its worth me calling and asking

Price gouging at its worst. Remember the government is set to investigate `dynamic pricing` in all sectors.

Some of it is,but the real RRPs are +£50 as the rebate is pretty much over. The rest of the rebated stock is dropping tommorrow,but unless you intend to refresh the site all day,then might as well not exist for many of us.

Plus with no reference model,that means AIB partners don't need to make RRP cards.
 
I checked the site a few times to see if I could talk myself into it ..
Saw nothing but cloud fare queues and ‘back shortly’ messages.

Gave up lol

Literally managed to talk myself back to ‘probably not worth it’ It’s a sign from the gods. Wait.

The £800 `red devil` cards wernt rebated, pure dynamic price gouging
 
Fake msrp is such a scam. State of the gpu market. Imagine if ps6 launched at X and then in small print (first 1000 units alone), Sony would get slaughted, but it's just a normal day in gpu land :(.

I do think the cards will drop to reasonable prices in a few months though, fair or not (I don't want to get into the nvidia/amd debate), Nvidia has the mindshare, people will still pay a premium for Nvidia, one decent release isn't going to change that, once the fomo lot have their cards, prices will have to come down to shift them.

Huh I didn't see the Gigabyte Gaming OC with a bios switch and a small boost clock/3x 8 pins is at MSRP. Should have been trying to get that one maybe.
