That’s cope.
There’s maximum 10% OC potential over base cards. Paying at least 22% more for the privilege….

Yep. I really liked the look of the Nitro+ so that's the one I ordered. Also my 5700XT Nitro has been an amazing card for over 5 years.
Lol again it's not just about the performance. I'm not going to put a black card in a white build, also not putting that steel legend white one in as i don't like the design.
I wouldnt mind stretching to an extra £20-£30 to get the colour or cooler I want.
£130 extra on a £570 card would be a big no, no!
I was hoping to get a 9070 XT today but having failed I'm thinking the same now. I've got plenty of older games I can play in the meantime.
Does anyone know how well the new Indiana Jones runs on an RX 6600?
Thing is look at how much stock ocuk had, times that by the other big 3 competitors in the UK, then think how many globally, that's a lot of GPU and significantly more than Nvidia, think I see gobbo said only had a few hundred Nvidia cards, and less than 10 5090's at launch.
AMD have not ballsed up, just the world wants GPU's,
Not necessarily for the stock shortages, but the fake MSRP. It shows that AMD were still delusional on their initial pricing expectations. They must have been aiming a fair bit higher before they finally realised how stupid it would be.
I think AMD will have a steady stream of these GPUs being supplied to retailers, but the “real” MSRP is now $50 higher at least.

I think it worked out at about £550.
Why are you talking like they're wasn't thousands of cards at just a single uk store? If amd didn't have a large number of cards ocuk wouldn't have been able to get thousands, they would have had substantially less as there would be less to go around.
The fact they had so many indicates that there was a lot to go around and it still wasn't enough. Probably due to people seeing the reviews of the joke 5070 and changing their minds and wanting one of these.
According to the OCUK website they have only sold 20+ of the Pulse model that they had 1000+ of though...

The same website that was going down like a cheap hooker earlier today with crashing and glitches and downtime? Those numbers are likely borked to say the least.

I dont think it works (as intended) or maybe some strange caching glitches.
@GhostDog1981 what are you so socked about? that they will continue to encourage retailers to sell at MSRP?

I hope they do. I really want one BUT at msrp.
I think that's a fair assessment. But the higher-end models do have some real benefits, not least of which cooling and noise. Is that worth £140 more over a base model? Probably not, but everyone has their use case.
I think the issue is many people who have been looking for a new card are coming out an abusive relationship with nV and the market in general. So when finding out your current potenial partner farts in bed is a lot better than a partner who was high mantenaince, called you names, and gaslit you -- not a big deal.
