Sorry for being dumb but like i said I'm not good with numbers. So would you subtract the 8% from the dollar MSRP price or just not take account of retailers margins in the calculation?

OcUK GUIDE TO ORDERING YOUR AMD 9070 GRAPHICS CARD TODAY AT 14:00

Don't forget to minus 20% vat, when AMD gives us an msrp it never includes taxes.
Not taken it into account obviously, because it's a "retail" price.
AMD didn't give us the cost price that retailers pay

I think Asrock are mad greedy to only supply 10 units at MSRP.. I only just clocked that after re-reading earlier posts and the helpful staff member here, cheeky buggers at Asrock.. I would use other words but I won't swear here lol
The £554 is including VAT
You say that but for me it's really not!

My understanding of this from the information starting to appear online is that AMD should be willing to tell AIBs that they can have rebates for additional capacity, but because retailers (from what I gather with Gibbo's posts) are beholden to the AIBs in terms of "sell it at MSRP or not" then the allocation of MSRP priced cards has to trickle all the way down from AMD to AIBs then into the inboxes of the retailers.
Honestly, and I think this is just me being a bit too hopeful is that we will all wake up tomorrow and AMD will have already greenlit a load more of rebate capacity to AIBs that then translates into retailers being told they can sell more at MSRP?

Lol yeah good old copium, respect it lol
Thats what im saying, he wants to compare it to the US dollar price which doesn't include taxes so you would have to take 20% vat of the £554 which would be roughly £444 which equates to $572
Well Frank Azor, AMD Marketing boyo posted this earlier https://www.reddit.com/r/radeon/comments/1j547zj/frank_azor_demand_today_for_our_new_cards_has/
and that kind of seems to suggest from the wording that when they say "MSRP pricing encouraged" I imagine that will be offering rebates - what else would they be able to do, "sell at MSRP, or *else*"
import duty? does that come into it?

Exactly, you feel like a chump. I got really angry when I caught them changing the price of a 5080 SKU several times within a few minutes.
I would return it if I were you, it's important to feel good about any purchase. I don't want to look at the card in my case and remember the feeling of being ripped off.
I bought my 5080 at price I felt was pretty good, it was in stock for more than 10 nanoseconds, so I could pay attention during checkout and with no adrenaline rush. Now when I look at it, I only have happy thoughts.
It doesn't matter whose fault it is, AMD/NVIDIA/Distributors/Retailers, they can all **** off for making GPU launches so negative and stressful.
I honestly don't know. All i know is when AMD recommends an MSRP it doesn't include vat or such as everywhere in the world is so different.

Think he was talking about the difference between the inflated ASRock Steel Legend price that some people got after the initial £569.99 batch.

Holy based, let this guy cook
thats upto aib's. retailers have no say, it would depend on sales at the new msrp tbh, sales drop price will lower.
That's the point I was trying to make - context for it is in my post before that.
AIBs pass on the rebates to the retailers, but AMD appear to be the actual starting point on whether AIBs can let retailers offer the MSRP pricing or not since AMD is offering the rebate to the AIB and retailer I would expect gets all or at least a portion of that rebate passed onto them.
As someone who isn’t in the market for any hardware, this thread is proper depressing.
The FOMO is unreal, it’s just a GPU and only really an average one at a price which is pretty high.
Let’s take a step back, at £650 this isn’t a good deal. I’m not even sure it’s a good deal at £569 - perhaps if you add the ‘for 2025’ qualifier at the end you can say it is a good deal at £569 which is a ridiculous statement in its own right.
