Brexit blah blah blah, trump tariffs blah blah blah. All the usual excuses.Nothing on that list, why is the 9070 XT £650 to £700 when the MSRP for those cards start at $600? Currently at $1.33 to £1 that's £452 + 20% VAT = £543.
The 5070 isn't worth anything with 12g. I suppose I'd take one for free if I had no other option.After missing out on 9070 & 9070 XT at launch pricing, I bought a used 7800 XT for £320.
After seeing the 5060 Ti reviews, that still feels like a good decisionIt'll be interesting to see what the 9060 XT brings to the table.
EDIT: I hadn't noticed that 5070 prices had dropped to £499. If I hadn't bought the 7800 XT, I'd be tempted by one of those.
......
8g cards are an unfunny joke in 2025, where 16g is now bare minimum for anything other than e. Sports.
Nothing until pricing returns to semi normal levels.
Yeah it's worth remembering that the 9070 is a mid range card. These prices are anything but mid range.This from someones who had everything from a NVIDIA GeForce4 4800ti, through to ATI x850 xt pe golden samples(in crossfire) through to 8800gtx ultra ie most flagship gpus from the 2000s onwards. Upgrading the day anything new came out.
Price are a complete and utter joke these days for nothing exciting or ground breaking and games are trash so whats the point in having a high end card to play unoptimized trash.
These days im not about willy waving with hardware in my sign - Instead Im playing my steam back cat and its saved me a fortune a fortune id rather spend on a nice holiday, my car or the house.![]()

Unfortunately, AI is like the super COVID that isn't going awaySo sad that people think that £730 is reasonable for a mid range card such as the 5070ti (it certainly isn't high end). Before Covid that class of card would have been less than £400!!
