AMD 7800XT Reference Card or.....4070

When you look at their store page, it's like they've given up on pricing. Maybe they're just expecting AIB Models to be the cheaper models and the MBA versions in their eyes are the premium versions.

The reference 7800XT sold on AMD's store page is cheaper, all be it only slightly cheaper than every retailer, that's AMD's actual store page, not their 3'rd part links page.

Is it? I'm reading £568.17 on their store page and ocuk has the same MBA card for £479.99.
 
To those who own the reference 7800XT, in all honesty what's it like in terms of its cooler, i like the design, i know its warmer and louder than any AIB model, apart from Gigabyte maybe, my question is how loud and how warm? What's the Hotspot temps?

I'm considering getting one. i can put up with a bit more noise to if its £40 cheaper than the cheapest AIB model, i'm just a little worried about the Hotspot temps, i don't want that to be much over 80c, its the Hotspot temps that actually matter and once you're getting to 90c+ you're at the limit.

Open and replace the pads? If its anything like Nvidias warranty i'm sure they would allow it? Gonna think on it and come back to this after my holiday.

Who knows, might see another slight price drop by then!

What's increasing my itch is the knowledge that its unlikely to get any cheaper given the price of the 4070 hasn't budged a penny and there is talk of coming shortages in the air....

Thought the shortages were more to do with Storage than graphics tbh, i know the hikes are coming but wasn't aware of any further gpu shortages.

Cargo ships are having to divert around the south of the African continent due to angry antisemites is pushing up delivery times of goods and components by weeks, and increasing costs, i think it was MLID also said the cost of memory is on the rise again and that can add to the problem of these fanatics trying to sink committal shipping off the coast of Lebanon.

Edited out the offensive language entirely of my own volition having thought about it again.
