Just got everything setup to order and realised its the non-XT - Not paying that myself but I'm sure they'll sell in seconds to those that are willing to pay it

It's just pure hypocrisy from all involved though.
It's an absolute cartel at the moment for GPU prices.

Probably
Was thinking about it but with the performance difference in reviews and the scalping price from OCUK (sorry @Gibbo but sometimes you need to take a loss leader like these because AIB options later will give you the margins, just like alcohol is a loss leader for supermarkets but have margins on other items) it just doesn't seem justifiable. My only issue is that the rumours I have seen suggest the reference board from AIB's will be starting at £699 so a £100 uplift on what was yesterdays RRP.

Can't believe you blinked! Kids and their wet eyeballs these days!
Haha dream on
It's interesting that earlier Gibbo said that they were making under 15% margin on each card at £680
If you remove margin from the 6800xt OCUK price (please correct my bad maths), the cost price is ~£580.
Who is making money on these cards at MSRP? There isn't the volume to support the retailers properly at MSRP
OCUK takes a decision to make a big markup in absolute terms which is unpalatable but they also need to cover the resourcing costs of dealing with this fiasco.
Consumers can't get the cards anyway
I don't entirely understand who actually is making money on the cards because I don't believe they cost £570 to make and distribute.
It all stinks to me.
