The warranties do vary so that can be a factor for me, I think the gigabyte aorus has 4 years warranty , others 3 year warranty and sapphire only 2 year warranty. Having said that I haven’t ever had to claim on any warranty for a graphics cards for years…

Gibbo confirmed Sapphire is 3 years from Overclockers
I'm building a second gaming pc. So far I've got a Ryzen 5600X CPU, Gigabyte X570 Aourus elite motherboard, 16 gig Ballistix ddr4 3200 MHz ram and I'll be adding a Corsair RM850X PSU. I've been itching for the 9070XT or even the none XT. The monitor will be a Samsung G9 oled. Only concern is it's resulotion is 5120x1440p @ 240hz is the GPU good enough? I'm pretty sure it's fine as I had a x570 system and a 7800XT and it was good with that monitor. However my CPU was 5800X3D. I might grab a 5700X3D down the line though. Don't mind using upscaling and my games are the likes of Red dead redemption 2 types.

You less pixels than 4k so you should be fine. To get near 200 fps in modern games you will need to drop settings and upgrade your cpu.
Yup, got £270 for mine 2 years after buying it for £290. Net £256 after bay costs.. not a bad return.
Still wating for 9070 prices to get down closer to MSRP..

Yeah, I'm also waiting for the 9070/XT prices to come down a bit more. Looks like there are some XTs that are down the £629. Ideally would like a Sapphire Pulse or the Acer Steel Legend Dark if they both come down a bit more in price. I would like the Nitro+ but not feeling that connector although I know why they've done it. It does look rather clean.

OcUK have said the card is performing within spec because of the warm weather... I've requested to return it for a refund under the 14-day cancellation period. There's no way that 2400rpm is normal on this massive cooler running the factory OC.

They are coming down fast now and will certainly be msrp or less when the 5000 series fresh comes out at the end of the year. There is stock building up so retailers will be forced to lower prices.
PSA: Optiscaler latest Nightly build has significantly improved support for FSR4 in many games.
Currently over 267 games are confirmed working on their compatibility list. Essentially any DLSS/XeSS game can be injected with FSR4 except Vulkan and EAC multiplayer games.

It's quite interesting at how efficient the 9070 XT can be when UV and reducing the power limiter... Done a quick test of Steel Nomad as below with my Red Devil
Bone Stock Power Draw sits at 330w - 73.54 fps
www.3dmark.com
Undervolt -50mv (Game stable MV, 2600 Vram, + 10% PL) 360w - 76.25 fps - 4% Faster than Stock for 9% more power usage
www.3dmark.com
Undervolt same as above but -30% PL - sits at 230w! - 68.42 fps
www.3dmark.com
In Summary, losing approx. 10% performance vs a Max overclocked Power limit card but using approx. 45% less power (130w!)is where it's at for me. This is my daily gaming profile and the fans sit at 1000 rpm 30% fan speed which is silent throughout hours of gaming and Core temp sits at 61-63 Degrees and hot spot around 75 with Memory temp at 80 Degrees in this summer heat also! I've been playing BO6 at 4K maxed out 100+ FPS at this setting/wattage.
People who say AMD can't be efficient obviously hasn't spent their time with an AMD card.. Energy efficiency is important to me, a similar priced wattage card when released was the 4070 Super (around 220w £550 iirc?) and a quick google indicates that gets around 47 fps so at the same power the 9070 Xt is approx. 45% faster.
I’m on my phone now not sure why the same link is on all 3 results..
Depending on game as each game puts different load on GPU it’ll operate at between 2.5 - 2.9 GHz

Yeah, i find myself using at least -10% PL and some undervolt pretty much all the time. Definitely the way to go!
Those 3DMark links are all the same btw!

Speaking of the devil, the Powercolour Reaper non-XT 9070 has dropped to MSRP here at OCUK. Ofc it ran out of stock, but not too shabby for pricing. Ideally should be below £500 since it's still too close to the XT, but MSRP ain't too bad.
Ray-tracing really is decent on these. While I honestly can't tell the difference, I've been playing Ghostrunner at native 1440p with all settings at max (including ray-tracing) and get great framerates. At 4k it struggles to maintain 60fps, but fair enough that consistent 4k ray-tracing is generally unattainable on current GPU hardware. And it's not worth it without upgrading to a 4k monitor, which have gotten really good and affordable recently. But I'll wait for larger panels and more widespread adoption of UHBR20 before upgrading to one.
*posted in the right thread this time, I'm getting too senile
Usually 3 years isn't it? At least that's what it was with the 7900XT.
Looks like the entire 'warranty' tab is missing on the OCUK product page though, might be worth dropping the support team a note to just double check.

Hey, new to the forums. Pleased to meet you all.
I recently bought the Steel Legend 9070XT and I wanted to know your opinions on these temperatures. The case is a Phanteks P400A, ambient temperature around 25-26ºC.Thanks.
I returned a Sapphire 9070 XT Nitro+ to OcUK because it was running slightly cooler temps than your card but the fans were spinning at 2400rpm so quite noticeably noisy. I manage to get a refund for it.
Helping a mate out with a new build and he's happily set on a 9070XT but is now wondering which model to get.
My genuine thought is just get the cheapest/whichever is on offer - but is that the best approach with the 9070XT? Outside of cooling, the OC models don't seem to offer enough (2-3%) of an improvement to justify the extra cost. I really like the Taichi model from Asrock but it's almost 50-70 quid more expensive. He's pairing it with a 7800X3D and playing at 4k.

I guess it comes down to what are the important factors. RGB, yes/no/don't care, loudness, size of card, colour, brand, warranty & obviously price.
The OC models aren't just overclocked, but will usually have a better cooler, RGB and extra features like bual bios etc.

no expert.. but if looks dont matter overly, cheapest.. i got the 9070 pulse.. runs cool (ram a little toasty), does everything i want and was a lot cheaper than the other models..
