AMD 7900 xtx out of stock.

Gibbo stated This is the last and final shipment ocuk is getting of these cards, and I dare say it's similar at most if not all retailers

Fomo is a real thing,

I remember the good old days when these cards would have been sold off in a fire sale for like £500, and even then wouldn't sell out that quickly...

Looking to upgrade my 2080ti would the 7900XTX come the best bang for my buck so to speak?

Ideally the upcoming (couple of weeks*) 9070XT would be what you are after.

If you need Nvidia cuda for non gaming reasons, then just wait for the summer for 5070ti cards to get down towards msrp pricing if you can.

* probably gona be another better be good at 'F5-ing' situation

I went for a 7900xtx now (at a reasonable price) as for content creation and raw rasterisation, it's a solid card.
Sure, it doesn't have RDNA4, or NVidia framegen or the AI madness... but 24GB RAM on a GPU at that price is likely not going to happen again any time soon.
(and afmf2 along with lossless scaling is easily enough for me if I *want* framegen)

It seems the GPU pricing is all about AI capacity these days, rather than raw rasterisation improvements, and I'm settling with decent value.

And with a card about to come out that will be better overall (apart from vram) and (hopefully!) much cheaper.

I've said it a lot in other threads but I don't know where all these people have come from? As you point out, they've been readily available for ages at around £700 and didn't sell out , so why is there a sudden influx of buyers willing to pay £1000 for them? Same as the 5000 series as well really. The 4080 super could have been had for around £800 most of last year, yet people are now prepared to pay £1400+ for a card that is only 10-15% faster.

If you want a laugh, take a look at the "I've just upgraded to a 7900 XTX/XTX" posts on r/Radeon. It seems like there are a lot of very delusional people suddenly buying old Radeon cards in response to Nvidia 50-series scalping. The consensus among them seems to be that they won't regret their purchase because the 9070 cards are going to have poor availability and high prices, and won't move price/performance forwards much even at MSRP.

Reality is going to hit hard tomorrow, even (and I think this is about the worst case scenario) if the cards are $599/$699 MSRP. No doubt these people will be among the loudest complainers about FSR4 being an RDNA4 exclusive.

It depends on what they want from the card. If cost is the only metric, and they do come in at MSRP, then maybe some will be unhappy but they would likely be unhappy no matter what.
