Thanks I never actually saw that thread. That puts it close but honestly £379 sounds a lot easier to sell to someone on a budget than £475 does.

I know you could say then the 2060 Super/5700 would be easier again which is true but hopefully you get what I mean.

2060 super is the same price pretty much as the 5700xt.

Actually some 2060S are more expensive than 5700XT Anniversary

Let alone the whole 2070S lineup which is the cost of 5700XT Anniversary + custom heatsink

But you get £60 of games which can be sold

But I get Gears 5 and 3 month Xbox Live that I can sell also, with access to 100s of games.

Its not worth that much, its £15.99 from cdkeys and was under £12 a few days ago.

Yet given how much the ongoing game bundles are going to the MM here, £60 of games won't go over £20.

Also I have already 1 of the 2 vouchers "sold" here in Greece, the next will follow

AMD promo £11 on MM

Also why are you saying hundreds when there are less on the PC, much, much less :confused:

People are forgetting Nvidia locks the codes to certain RTX graphics cards,so the codes don't sell for as much as people think.Look on the famous auction site the Wolfenstein 2 code as sold for as low as £11 as even the listings state this. I have a GTX1080 so the codes are not of use to me sadly.

The AMD codes for games were locked too,but the games were included with CPUs too,and a large percentage of their GPU line-up from the RX570 4GB upwards,so it covers more systems. However,if you had an Intel and Nvidia system,they were of no use to you either.

Because there are around 100 games activated on PC Xbox Live on August 1st.

Even AMD states that on the small prints on all notifications about the Xbox Live offer.

And I quote from my email from AMD today

There are ways around this as I bought a Division 2 code from the AMD promo on the MM and I most certainly do have any of that filth in my PC

They will probably go for £25-30

So no one has one of these cards yet?

Super cards are playing dirty?

This thread has descended into something horrible. A shame.

I'm interested to see the Tech Report review once done for game time analysis instead of average numbers.

At least someone thought out of the box and went by price points....

£380 for an almost 2070 Super without RTX is actually pretty damn good (relative to what is happening with gpu prices over the last year or 2).

The 2070 Super isn't even purchasable right now either, so it'll be interesting to see where Nvidia actually place it price wise.

It is a good price after they have reduced it but I think it’s worth making this price comparison with AIB Navi models. Nobody wants to buy the AMD blower card unless they are paying extra ££££’s for water blocks.

Whilst comparing an AIB Navi card to an fe super isn’t necessarily an apples to apples comparison they do represent two cards which people willl actually want to buy. I suspect though prices of both cheaper AIB models will be broadly similar.

I too wanted to see more games. No doubt about it. However, something occurred to me. Something that I hadn't thought about before.
Last time ATI released the 5700 series it was a low end tier products.
We know that AMD is release a 5800 series. And it's rumored that the 5900 series is the Navi21.

So, it makes sense that one game was benched because AMD just sandbagged the heck out of us.
We've been comparing a low end 5700 XT to Nvidia's high end, just refresh part. (Speculating...of course)

Naming is irrelevant and pricing is where it's at. They are clearly mid to high tier cards. That's fine too and AMD/Nvidia trade blows. It depends how you rate their drivers and features really on which to go for.

At moment the 5700XT for me would be right bang for buck for both 1080 144hz & 1440 60hz. After that you should probably jump significantly to 2080 if you want to aim for 1440 144hz or 4k at moment or 1080 with Ray trace (seems pointless on lower models at this time)

Prices for 2070S vary quite a bit. From £475 for Inno and basic models, to >£500 for the good 3 fan solutions.
5700XT has starting point £380. A sheer £100 less sitting with the cheapest 2060S. almost half the 2060S OCUK has, are expensive at the 5700XT Anniversary Edition (£412) price range. And 2060S is card of far lesser performance.

That may we’ll be true but no one wants a noisy hot blower card so you’ll have to factor in extra for a decent AIB model.

Any news on whether the Morpheus coolers fit the 5700XT?

Yet we have seen on the past that descent AIB models, aren't far from from MSRP of blower. Most times lower due to the scarcity of the blower after the first month.
