OUR LOWEST PRICE EVER ON 9070 XT (BETTER THAN PRIME) - £555

Yeah, Sapphire always tend to optimise for noise with the pulse, even if it leads to higher temps.
Think it was spaghetti and a few cans of tuna or something. Similar thing happened me years previous my asus strix 980ti from amazon turned out to be an older geforce 285 or something like that,. Was refunded with no issues.
Ever since then, amazon given a wide berth for pc parts. Selling returned stuff as new is comical.

Not any more it isn'tNo actually I went from 7800XT to 4090. It's my money you know.
Aye true enough. But the £1400 quid I got for it was nice enough to pay for the 5070TI and 9070XT so not bad for a 3 year old card profit wise.
So my 7800X3D PC is happy and my 5800X3D PC is happy, I'm happy.

If buying AMD/ATI I would only ever buy Sapphire cards as they were for sure the EVGA of the time for quality cards. The price isn't bad at all considering the silly GPU pricing we now have sadly.

Good on you, going from "only" being able to afford a 7800 XT to getting a 4090, that's a turnaround!
The Nitros are indeed excellent cards, the 6800XT that's now in my second PC was the best card I've yet owned.

Everyone around me is upgrading, another gaming mate of mine just upgraded his RTX 4070 for an RX 9070 XT, Asus Prime OC specifically, i'm feeling left out and will be upgrading but have to wait until next year now.....
On a side note i'm a part of some pretty large gaming communities and have been for a lot of years, there has been a lot of switching from Nvidia to AMD over this last year, one by one they switch and then voice how impressed they are with the GPU, then another one does it and says the same thing, and then another one.... the mood, the attitude to AMD's GPU's is changing, i have never seen anything like it.

Might have got a bit of support from AMD/Sapphire to continue the deal for a bit longer, especially with Amazon trying to muscle in.What happened to Amazon ending their deal at midnight and OcUK ending their deal at 2pm yesterday?
I mean I'm not complaining about OcUK not ending their deal
You have to hope that AMD/Sapphire are supporting the OCUK price reduction too, otherwise the message is "we are able to sell them for less, we just choose not to"
Pretty sure the message has always been and will always be "we are able to sell for less, we just choose not to". None of these companies are charities.
Rebates from AMD and Sapphire. That’s how hardware sales work
