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

[Venali]

The stock is honestly quite readily available at this point. The cheaper cards do still sell out, but I think these crazy prices might end sooner rather than later unless stock mysteriously dries up again.

 

[Bluebozzy]

Lol, yes call me when the price starts with a 5

You'll be waiting to see them on the second hand market then considering they're on about the Nitro

Time is on my side But yes the Nitro may go for a bit more. The again I only paid just over £600 for a 6950XT Red Devil.

Managed to get a Nitro! I think £720 is fair as it is one of the more 'premium offerings' and i don't see it dropping below £680 when stock if readily available. Im happy so to me seems fair, of course it is all on personal expectations

I've still got one on order for £681, I'll happily wait a few weeks to see if it materialises. I'm still going back and forth in my mind if even that is too much...

What do people reckon between the 9070 Pulse vs Reaper? I see people saying the latter feels cheap. My Pulse 6700XT certainly doesn't feel cheap but I thought perhaps the extra fan on the Reaper might make it quieter.

 

[David Callen]

I'm waiting for a Reaper to pop up but won't be paying 700 for it.

Problem for me is I'm very restricted (305mm) to the length of card I can fit in my case.
There's only two XT cards on OCUK that fit that length and one of them is white which doesn't really go with the current red and black aesthetic.

But I'm in no rush. the old 1080 is still trucking along nicely and I'm offshore for the next 2 weeks anyway so no chance to play with any new toy.

 

[Bidley]

I did wonder if it was yourself that said it, Which card did you opt for in the end?

I've got a Pure coming this weekend hopefully!

As the Pure and Pulse seem to be the same card, I can't fault my Pulse 9070 XT either.

The Pure has a very small overclock and TDP bump.

Lmk when you receive yours. Pre ordered one too on the same day and waiting for any updates now

My reaper is fine, has metal back plate and runs quiet. Needed 2 slot card for my SFF case.

Got one for 684.99 bit the delivery are in May. If the prices will come down by then I can cancel order the cheaper card. However the Niro+ looks great.

Seems like quite a few cards available to buy now

I've got no problems with my reaper, fits nicely in my ITX case and feels solid, no silly RGB. Just need to tune fans

I've got the Reaper (it did turn up eventually, DPD only swiped the haribo...). It's fine, runs cool, reasonably quiet (bit of whooshing from the fans occasionally, nothing major), and its size means it's not pushing against the cables at the bottom of the case. I don't have the Pulse to compare it to though, and I was coming from a PowerColor 6700XT. I'm sure other brands and models can feel more premium, but I wouldn't say the Reaper feels cheap myself, it's just a solid card without bells and whistles.

 

[Kev_19]

Any idea when you will be receiving in any more 9070XT Reapers? I am caught for space in my case.

 

[Potluck1112]

Not worth more than £569.99 for me! Ideally needed to keep the msrp of the 7800XT £499 or 6700XT £469- already a £100 jump.

BUT there is some talk of chip scarcity going forwards so this is going to be normal with higher prices. People will buy I’m afraid.

Like me but I had no choice as my old card was dying

 

[Parr]

The biggest joke is I have seen an ASUS 9070 model priced above an XT Sapphire Nitro+. I know ASUS have a superiority complex over the quality of their cards and price them accordingly, but that is well into the realms of Alice in Wonderland fantasy.

That was my thoughts too. Although I initially cancelled it due to end of May delivery, I re-ordered when I was randomly browsing the website that said end of April.
