Well..
Current exchange rates are looking good!
$999 translates to £978 including VAT could end up getting the cards for around £999 after all!

Sure, direct from the AMD Store. O wait...

No way in holy heckfire will vendors be selling 7900xtx for £999. They may slog out the tired "look! we sold 5 reference cards at RRP" excuse to save face, but it's gonna be £1200 and up, mark my words.
Edit: 1.23 pound/dollar is "looking good"? LOL, as it were.

very unlikely
When the RX480 first came out let’s say the performance was a little underwhelming. However over time the drivers got a lot better and the performance went up and up.

Last time I bought an AMD card multiple vendors including the Sapphire one I bought sold reference cards in the UK at MRSP that was the RX480 few years ago now but they were around and will hopefully be so again.
Way to clutch at straws Gibbo is on record saying the reference design will be around 1050-1100 with AIBs around the £1200 mark plus but this was based on the poor exchange rate from a few weeks ago, the newer exchange rates is looking good compared to that.
It will be possible to have them at £999... of course this depends if the e-tailers will join in on the scalping.
Pretty sure it was originally billed as the “overclockers dream” or some similar crap but ended up barely overclocking at all.
I used one for a couple of years and eventually it couldn’t even keep its out the box clocks, never mind an OC.

I remember following that closely as I bought one.
It was good for what it was a very good mid fielder but man did AMD and Raja overhype the hell out of it
It was a company trying to talk as though they had top tier components but only releasing lower mid tier products.
Fair enough. I bought one at 199 on offer with 8gb and it did me well so was just interested in what was wrong with it. Was a fair card for the price I thought.
Compared to the current pricing, it was a bargain, I’ll give it that!

Same for the price it was it was good if only it wasn't so overhyped that's where a lot of disappointment came from.
I think I paid 250 for it then sold it for 250 2 years later,I didn't have any problems with it directly but I was bottlenecked by my old CPU at the time.
I still have a RX590 from 2019, it plays most games decently and I still have to see a significant upgrade for less than 300€.
I'm hoping for a good deal on a RX 6700xt to replace it but the same price right now yelds only a RX6600, which while being a demi-decent upgrade is nearly obsolescent itself.

No, Raja used that term for the Fury X.
Thanks for the help @LtMatt et all about keybinds.
It was actually the reverse because if a game has a bind for a shortcut in that amd panel, for example Warcraft that takes priority over the adrenaline ones so it was a non-issue.
