What resolution you running?
If you talking the 10GB version -NAh. ......................Sem'fiddy was MSRP for mid range AIB's
12GB version is a different card.
That money I'd be looking at a 3090 2nd hand
OR if ray tracing isn't a must (cripples performance anyway).
This new with warranty - up there with a 3090 all day long.

Depends on the situation but runs circa to a 4080. It’s a lot faster than a 3080.
It's enough that 4K might be playable with the 3080 when the 3070 isn't (depending on settings obv), but I personally wouldn't, because inter-generational upgrades are usually very bad value (price/perf) wise.

We do have a £599 card but the website is not displaying it, asking IT if they can resolve it.
i do not think the new Ada based RTX cards are worth it this generation probably better to give them a miss and wait it out for the refresh and if you need a RTX card pick one up on the cheap or second hand are a very good deal just make sure you get a good one.

Most people will recommend Sapphire. Powercolour are pretty good too, but their 7900xt reference model only has a 1 year warranty. Their Hellhound has a 3 year warranty.
I always favour getting the cheapest GPU of a certain architecture that I can. Unless it's known to be a bad cooler or have specific problems.
For the 7900xt I would be looking at the Sapphire reference @899 on OCUK or the Powercolour Hellhound wherever it's cheapest.
The Inno 4070ti is also very competetive at £799.
I wouldn't be tempted by any more expensive models for 7900xt or 4070ti. Instead, if I wanted to spend more, I would look at the cheapest 7900xtx or RTX4080 models I could get.
