[nomadd]

Convinced the other half I NEED better raytracing and they caved.

Wait until she actually sees this "better raytracing" and then insists you send it back!

 

[Chalk25]

I got mine back today and working well so far

Was this a replacement card from OC or was it repaired by Powercolor?

Replacement card in brand new packaging.

I can see a lot of stock being diverted from the USA to other locations.

Well, it doesn't seem to be landing in the UK.
OCUK stock of 9070XT is still at a tariff-busting zero percent.

I managed to get a 9070XT Pulse earlier this week from elsewhere, delivered today. There were a few at a good price popping up on alerts but yeh stock isn’t plentiful yet.

Yeah you can pick up the pulse for £619 if you keep hounding a certain website. There were ones available at that price yesterday for a good couple of hours.

Well, since I can't ask which one, I'll just have to hound them all...

Google sapphire pulse with the price you should find an expired deal, use that link to monitor the site

Excuse my paranoia,

Anyone else who got a Sapphire 9079XT Nitro+, did your PCI connection have a cover on?

Nothing wrong with my card, absolutely adore it (except F124 deciding to have weird visual glitches now, but I can work around it) but every GPU I’ve ever bought or seen unboxed had a little cover on the contacts and I found it odd that mine didn’t.

My pulse 9070 did not have a cover on the pcie connector

I didn’t either with my pulse.

But I did get 2x of these support thingys for the heatsink which is a newer revision since a YouTube video from Tech Jesus.

 

[Lleot]

I'm in the same position returning my Reaper now also so good to know.

How did you go about starting the RMA? Via PowerColor or OCUK? Mine is a launch model so I was trying to wait until there was more stock before seeing if it was possible.
Maybe waited too long now lol

Direct with OC. Raised a ticket and returned Friday. Hoping to exchange if it's sorted and they get some reapers in. Alternatively I will order myself and change to refund if I can secure one. Customer service has been good to be fair.

Edit: Should say I missed out on launch day so paid £650.

Nice to see them rectifying that so quickly

 

[GhostDog1981]

You mean under the metal pillar support thingys- yes I think there are 2 circular small bits of foam cushioning the pillars against the underside of the backplate.

Just managed to get one today, I've just been visiting the link and checking a few times a day so must be popping up pretty regularly, delivery stated as end of June which I wouldn't be going ahead with if that's true but people are reporting receiving them within a couple days of ordering.
