Hi there

Asrock Steel Legend Dark Editions 9070 XT are now in stock:
Yes after some negotiations we were able to bring in a lot more and the stronger pound of course helps with cost so the Nitro has seen biggest drop and is also best supply.
3000 cards due next week so all pre orders will be covered on Sapphire and in stock.
Not enough supply unfortunately the volume seems to be on Nitro.

Nah AMD needs calling out more over their fake msrp, nvidia is hitting msrp but AMD because they lied wont cover the cost to AIBs or cut their margins. UK msrp for the 9070xt is £540 and here we have the base models at £650. Don't mention the ridiculous 9070 price.
Just browsing I see Nvidia cards upto 5080 are available at MSRP What's happening with AMD?
So much for
AMD's graphics rep, Frank Azor, has appealed to gamers not to "despair" over pricing of the company's new Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT GPUs. He says AMD is working with AIBs to replenish stock and that, "MSRP pricing will continue to be encouraged."

Isn't just supply and demand righting prices?
When both were in higher demand than supply, AMD had the better value product and supply so demand shifted away from nvidia. Now there is Nvidia products sitting around not selling and more supply arriving, so prices are trending back down.
Some who had decided they were waiting for AMD to come in stock may buy Nvidia, for some Nvidia have lost their sale and they'll wait for AMD.
As demand eases on AMD vs supply I expect the prices will right themselves like the Nvidia price
Sales probably exceeded the expectations and planned manufacturing capacity so they aren't rushing to cut the prices but all will stabilise soon. The demand on £600-700-800 cards isn't unlimited, it's still a lot of money for a single component, especially outside of Western countries markets.
The cards are still manufactured in high numbers, scalpers still have plenty to shift so the sales will be slowing, most likely, already is. It won't be long we can see the 9070's at £500 and XTs around 560.
I can easily afford to pay current prices but I won't. My old card isn't dying and if it was good enough a few months ago, can be fine for another 60 or 80 days. I will never pay price I am not fully comfortable with and fortunately, I am not alone. The very nice fsr4 isn't even widely adopted yet. Can wait and will.

If I ordered at the higher price and none have come into stock since is it possible to get a partial refund on the difference, or should I request to cancel so I can reorder at the lower price?Yes after some negotiations we were able to bring in a lot more and the stronger pound of course helps with cost so the Nitro has seen biggest drop and is also best supply.

was about to ask this myself, thanks for asking for me!

If you mean your pre order has not yet shipped then yes absolutely contact CS and they can refund the difference back.
The stock is due next Tues/Wed so you order will then ship and they will refund you down to £679.
£679 XT Nitro+ against a £729 bargain basement model 5070Ti is a no brainer. Nitro+ is a stupidly well built card, looks amazing and has the performance to trade blows with the 5070Ti, dealing some big wins in popular modern titles.

I've not had an Nvidia main GPU since the 680, but I'd be taking the 5070Ti at that price point.
I've got a 7800XT Nitro card now, performance is what matters lol.
Not sure about that , think I'd go with the Nvidia card , uses less power, dlss is supported better , even though the gap has closed it's still better upscaling , better RT

9070XTs need to be below £600 to be a better value proposition against the 5070ti. There are still too many compromises going AMD despite the gap closing significantly.
Yep and the 5070Ti is practically the same performance but with the MSRP cards you've got a noisy hot card. This is missing COD and MS Flight Sim 24 which the 5070Ti gets destroyed by the 9070 XT too. Drivers have brough the gap down in a lot of the Nvidia wins as this was done on launch drivers. Eg. Space marine 2, CS2 have had big performance gains since this review. It would be interesting to see this re-done on current drivers. RT is practically the same performance, it's PT that there is a huge gap but the 5070Ti can't really do PT at decent FPS anyway, you need a 5090 for PT really and even that needs frame gen.
Nvidias 50 series are still riddled with driver issues.

Do you have any reviews of the Nvidia card ? Pretty sure it's still ahead in RT overall

? That came out before the 9070XT so the 9070 XT are usually missing from the reviews. This is compared against the last 5070Ti which Techpowerup reviewed, just before the 9070 release, they aren't biased towards one manufacturer and are a neutral source.
Here's the last 5070Ti review Techpowerup did on a way above MSRP model. They compared to 7900 XTX at the time as 9070 XT wasn't out.
