£450 isn't a bad price for the red devil

Could spend 25 quid and have had a 2070S FE
Thats what i am afraid of, the selling point of the 5700xt imo, is that its £100 cheaper than the 2070s
Yeah thats my problem with all the 5700XT AIBs, once I saw what the prices looked like I grabbed the reference while it was at 375. 450 is only £25 less than a 2070S, it doesn't really make sense at that price imo, even 430 for the pulse is to much.
£430 is where I'd draw the line I think.
And you can sell the game bundle for more than the gamepass anyway, so the difference equalises. Right now stock is still scarce for Super cards, but by the the end of the month situation will improve & prices will go to £450-475. Hard sell for the 5700 XT then.
You keep saying that but it's not true in practical terms, is it. The Founders direct from Nvidia is never in stock, the Asus Dual Evo isn't in stock and will jump back up in price when stock returns, and stock for the Zotac Gaming is erratic. And that one is £490. Anything actually in stock is north of £500
I'll believe that when I see it, and even if that does happen the 5700 prices will also drop.
Hard sell? Barely any performance difference between the 2 yet the AIB 5700 XTs are £40-£60 cheaper than the cheapest (and actually available) 2070S, only the ill-informed, the die hards and those tied to G-Sync would choose Team Green.

Well, lets call it £50 and you'd have a 2070 Super today before 5700XT AIB's even ship.
Sell the games for £25 and it's still only £25 more.
I would not consider a 5700XT at nigh on 2070 Super if they're nigh on parity pricing wise.
I say this as someone whom owns a 5700XT.
OK, have you missed the part where I said you can't buy a 2070S for less than £500? No stock exists for the 2070S listed at less than £500.
So £450 5700 XT AIB vs £500 2070S AIB...£50 premium is not worth 3fps, pathetic ray tracing and Deep Learning Image Blurring that doesn't even work properly anyway.
I will never understand why you bought the 5700 XT with all the complaining and shade you throw at it.

5700XT at 450 versus a 2070S at 500 is a £50 difference. So, I'm not sure how I've missed what you said about the less than £500 2070S's?
It's interesting to say the stock doesn't exist at less than £500 given you can't currently own any AIB 5700XT's?
And the reason I own a 5700XT is because I'm not bias. It has flaws, I'm not going to pretend it doesn't. But there's nothing at that price point with the same performance.
Whereas you seemingly write off any Nvidia completely and any positives that come from something like a 2070S.
You had aib 2070S already sell for £475 (and you can order Ventus 2070S for £500 in 2 weeks), with a superior game bundle. Plus, 2070S still has both performance and feature advantage. Meanwhile 5700XT aibs are still not even announced properly, and drivers are still a mess.
In the real world, where the customer isn't worshipping AMD because they exist, £450 5700 XTs are a hard sell.

That ROG Strix 5700XT would be a solid purchase for me at £399.
But £499? Loltastic.
Funnily enough that's the only purchasable 5700XT AIB right now.

£429 for the Asus 5700 XT Dual Evo OC looks about the only palatable one going by the pre-launch prices shown. At least I had good experiences with Asus dual fan designs on NVidia's side with the 970 Strix and 1070 Ti Cerberus. Other than that, a tad disappointed that the prices of the 5700 XT are indicated to creep up so far with some AIB versions.
You may want to check out Asus's amd card history, cooling bits of them is overrated right?

Have had a 2080, 2080Ti and now a 5700XT. The CAS on the 5700 is that good I'd take it over the other two no problem, it's a subtle effect but adds so much! Very happy with mine, and although they do produce a little noise it's not that much (I'd directly compare it to say a 1070FE model noise-wise).
