been fine on both for agesIt's strange, I haven't any problems at all with the drivers.
Although, when I bought the 5700XT on release, I didn't have any driver problems then either, plenty of others did, so maybe I'm just lucky
The 4080 was regarded as a terrible buy for £1200 over 2 years ago, the 5080 isn't that much faster and the only reason it seemed half decent initially was due to Nvidia lowering the price to 1000.
I'm getting OCUK to build and been waiting since November so am pretty keen to just get going.
When people stop paying £300+ over the MSRP and if cards are in stock then that's a good signHow much longer do you think it'll be until they are £300 cheaper, feels like there's always something else to wait for

Seriously though I know the 5070ti isn't exactly considered good value either but why would anyone pay 43% more money for 11% more performance.
My basket at OcUK:
- 1 x Zotac GeForce RTX 5070 Ti AMP Extreme INFINITY 16GB GDDR7 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GRA-ZTC-04469) = £889.99
- 1 x Zotac GeForce RTX 5080 AMP Extreme INFINITY 16GB GDDR7 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GRA-ZTC-04050) = £1,289.99
Total: £2,187.97 (includes delivery: £7.99)
If you're into wasting money on a 5080 over a 5070ti then you might as well go the whole hog and get the Astral.
I just brought the Zotac amp. It comes a close second within 1 percent of the Astral. The Astral is £400 more. Crazy. Just paying for the brand essentially.
Why? They are all within 2 percent of each performance wise. You are down to choosing a brand name, aesthetics, cooling and acoustics.
Pretty great brand nice RMA
Literally just installed the card, looks and feels very good quality. All metallic no plastics. Updating drivers ready for afew benchmarks.
If you see my earlier post I was saying why spend 43% more money for 11% more performance going from the AMP 5070ti to AMP 5080 but my argument is if you don't care about wasting money in the first instance then why not spend a further 32% for 2% more performance, better cooling, acoustics and the 12V-2×6 Power Detector for less chance to burn Your house down?
