AMD eating into their market share wouldn't be good publicity for them. It's hard to say that they have the best product when everyone is buying their competitors product.

If 9070XT was priced around £500 where it belongs NVidia would be forced to lower prices as they'd be getting lots of bad press, as things stand everyone just thinks GPU prices being stratospheric is normal.

If AMD had released a 7900XT replacement based on RDNA4 then 5090 prices would have probably had to come down significantly as well. AMD seem to be basically doing everything they can to not rock the boat.

Or if we actually got base models at MSRP like most didn't have issue with that price instead of doing it for favourable launch review, I see the pulse is now £659.99 , £20 more gets you the nitro

All the red banners on these GPU's, they are selling like hotcakes again... even this one at £20 less than the Nitro, how?

Expected, demand is high!
Though personally I am shocked people are not realising the Nitro is ONLY £20 more than the Pulse and also in stock. Don't get me wrong the Nitro is now our best selling XT, just surprised at how many Pulse have also sold today.

Yeah, that's what i'm saying, they are both good cards but the Nitro is at least priced reasonably well for it being a high end version, the Pulse not so much....

Maybe some people on older PSU's as the Pulse requires a 2x8pin while the Nitro+ requires a 12V-2x6 or a 3x8pin using the adaptor.

Good point, it could also be that some people may want a Sapphire card but prefer the simpler design of the Pulse over the Nitro, its a nice design but i think a bit marmite, if you don't like it you probably hate it, i can see that.

Probably all sorts of valid reasons....

I rekcon a lot are put off by the scare mongering on the power connector.

I have the nitro myself I don't think these power connectors are the best design but its hardly working the thing to its limits like a 5090 does, seen no issues. I was actually really surprised by how power efficitent these 9070xt's are if your not absolutely hammering them to their limits.

Other thing could be card length, I have a fractal torrent compact case and to fit mine i had to remove the two front 180mm fans and replace them with 3 120mm fans i had knocking about from an old water cooling build, the card was like 8mm too long with the standard fans.

Just shows how unclued up consumers are and is probably why AMD has got away with the whole bait and switch launch pricing to garner good reviews, had these cards launched for over $700 which is how street prices currently translate then they would have got terrible reviews and nobody would have bought them.

I don't think £500 for a card this good is realistic in today's market

"this good" compared to what though? it only looks good value because NVidia have been offering less and less in terms of performance improvement for more and more expense. Paying £650+ for a 7800 XT tier card is bad value whichever way you look at it even if compares well to the competition at the time.

5070Ti is basically overpriced due to NVidia monopoly and instead of AMD bringing back some sanity to pricing they've followed in NVidia's footsteps.
