Nope I try looking for best price tbf, no nitro wasn't but that's what I'm saying I don't think 150 over MSRP cards when purchased is worth it, but that's my take. Many would disagree.
Aesthetically it is nicer n I love the power cable hide away

And if you miss it at the best price, like all but a handful of people did this time around you never buy it?
What if it gets cheaper after you bought it?

such as life i guess, as in time everything falls in price, well pretty much everything.
im 56yrs, so been at this game for donkeys, and tbh this is most expensive card i have bought at £569. but as a oldie i dont see the value in paying top dollar for higher end models, yes they generally look better and perform better, well slighlty. last new card i bought was vega 56 from oc and a week later flashed a 64 bios on it, now that was value:D
 
Gigabyte Gaming OC 9070 (non XT)
-170mv Undervolt
+500 Core
2870 Vram
+10% Power

My CPU gets a lower score than others as it's power limited (work rig)

I guess that's how I'm starting to look at this AMD release. Can't get them at MSRP any more, but such is life.
While £150 more for a Nitro+ is annoying, at least it's the top end card with a higher TDP. Almost feels worse to pay £80 (or £60 before) to get the exact same card that was available for £569. At least the Nitro+ offers something more for the extra money.

I'm not sure we'll ever see those good ol' days again. *shakes fist at cloud*
 
that graphics score seems a bit low for the UV etc, maybe cause its a works pc? that UV should produce a better gpu score
i had -140mv +420mhz 2850mhz for graphics 31936.

Should the Asrock Steel Legend 9070 XT come with an ARGB cable? I have a new build with an Asus Rog Strix B650E-I Mobo and can’t seem to locate a ARGB cable anywhere. Never built a computer before so not sure if that would have been something I should have bought separately or if I’m just misplacing it. If I need to buy one separately I guess I’ll order one of those sometime later as well…

Nah, they don't usually come with one - but it's more about having the port in case you wanted to hook it up to your mobo to sync lighting. Usually motherboards have them in the accessories box, I got 2 with my Z890 Taichi Light - although I did just immediately switch off the RGB on the card via the switch...

Pepperidge Farm remembers.
 
Originally i thought the Core offset did nothing but it does add a little extra to the score.

9070 XT Nitro+:
Core +400
Mem 2700
UV -175mv
Power +10%

Timespy:

Overall Score: 31437
GPU Score: 33875
CPU Score: 22333

Happy with that.

true, but it's not £569 anymore is it.. and the question was about now....so , with the msrp cards being £660 now, is the nitro+ worth the extra £60 at £720.... forget £150...that doesn't exist anymore...we're talking now, not in the past, as I've not yet managed time travel outside of a game, or the future as I can't play a game with fresh air now...£60 for a premium finished card which is a beast and faster than standard is worth it imho
I may be biased though seeing as I have one :cry: but I had the same proposition at the time...the difference between the pulse and nitro was $55 or £42.60...for me that was a bit of a no brainer...pretty sure come sale time I'll get more for my nitro than if i had a pulse, which will make some of that price difference back
if i could have got the pulse at £569, sure....still would buy it at that price for my kids...but that's not going to happen soon I think

Well my Haribo arrived today, oh and the included Nitro+, so I've joined the family.
The downside is my system rebuild isn't going to happen for a month or two so it's very likely to stay in the box until then!

Maybe I'll try and play Wukong in the interim so I completely dodge the worst case scenario :D

Can you change the ARGB lighting? I haven't managed to despite it being plugged into a working ARGB socket.

have you used sapphire trixx software...once you do you can use the presets or make you own colour, or there is a button the link , so then just gets controlled with armory crate on my asus board(which does my board and cooler)

SAPPHIRE TriXX Software

SAPPHIRE software can tune your card's performance to the max and save custom settings for your favourite games. A deceptively-simple interface lets you tweak your card's fan speeds dynamically, and find out anything you could possibly want to know about your card.
