any difference between the sapphire and powercolour ?

Get Sapphire it's 2 year warranty. Powercolor is only 1 year unless its a typo? They are both MBA (Made by AMD) in a different box.

 

[Kangaxx]

Anyone else having issues being able to add credit card details? I cannot seem to add any details to these boxes...

 

[xtechnoirx]

is the Asus one any different to the powercolour and sapphire it looks the same but costs more ?

 

[RavenXXX2]

Sapphire is only 2 yeay warranty, used to be 3. And powercolor is 1.......

 

[Jimbo]

Much better than last year when it was effectively a paper launch. I did manage to buy a Sapphire Nitro OC+ for nigh on £900 through the 3d printer section, when the aibs came along. This year though I bought a 4090 FE just thought to hell with it. These cards will be nice too though, id have gone for the XTX even though they overpriced but then so is anything from nvidia.

£1300 for vapor X wow just to much.

 

[Tinek]

Is the XT at £899 a good price? That's not a dig, I've just been head down focused on the XTX info and negated the XT lol.

As per most reviews I've seen - no. In this price range it's much better to add to the XTX and have much faster product with better longevity too.

Thanks! Good to know. I might check back in on these in Feb.

Noticing msi missing from this, was there beef between AMD and MSI?

 

[Tinek]

I would just like to say thanks @Gibbo for things like

• Publicly interacting with customers.
• Allowing criticism.
• Being willing to put numbers on things like margins.
• Explicitly allowing returns for coil whine.
• Supplying Harribo to everyone. EVERYONE.

It's why I keep buying stuff from here, even for things that can be found cheaper elsewhere.

One correction - there is NO Harribo anymore! I never got it with 4090 and neither did other people that posted about it. Harribo is gone

I argued this with Powercolor but they refused to offer more than one, as such I cancelled all remaining back orders. Their own built cards are 3yr warranty on Devil and Hellhound, Sapphire own built is 3yr warranty too, so Pulse and Nitro.

Asus MBA tax is strong

I think due to how busy warehouse is they just focus on getting cards out, better you get the card a day earlier then potentially a day later with Haribo.

And miss Christmas!!!!

In fairness for me half the fun is getting to play and tweak new hardware, finding issues and then fixing them and getting big performance boost with driver updates, starts to make the purchase feel less guilty.

In fairness I used to be the same. Bought may flagship AMD cards on launch over the years (from OCUK!). Most recently, was the Vega64 Liquid Edition, then the Radeon VII. Both had great hardware, just let down for the first few months by terrible drivers.

I work with IT (enterprise), after a day's work I no longer want to spend time troubleshooting, reinstalling drivers, tinkering, and even raising tickets with AMD support for help.

I'm very happy to pay extra for a Nvidia card (Had a 4090 on launch day from OCUK!), that way I get a guaranteed "finished" product, with mature drivers that just work. I can spend my (limited) time playing games. If I fancy tinkering, I can do some overclocking and have a nice 3DMark session.

Each to his own though - I'm sure the day one purchasers of 7900 series will have fun tinkering and playing with their new hardware

Is delivery meant to be free for forum users mines not

 

[Sgt_Major]

2 year warranty on cards over £1k, this must be a joke, another reason not to go near AMD cards sold @ OCUK.

 

[xtechnoirx]

omg not the AIB cards are showing in stock can we change our orders ?

 

[Hedge]

Rubish, helping people out lol, you are charging MSRP for the XT because its trash tier value, meanwhile gouging the XTX because its the only card sane purchasers around the 1k mark are going to clearly reach for, anyone spending $900 is obviously going to be dumb not to spend $999 on the XTX, its gouging and you know it. If it was not going to be possible to make a profit at MSRP you would not buy the damn product in the first place, bad buisiness, also the pound is much stronger right now, so really just another way to gouge even further. Its dispicable, when this company got sold off it went down the toilet, run by a bunch PR salesmen and suits, pretty much following the rest of the PC industry, being killed off by GPU makers, scalpers and gouging retailers.

It's a tough world we live in eh.

Huge corporations making billions from vaccines and energy but lets focus on the despicable practices of a pc hardware store making money on a gpu targeting nerds with poor priorities in life. Lol.

Did the site just crash??

Better delivery arrived with the card but without the Haribo than the other way round
