I said before Christmas, February is always worse month of the year, as such if any planned price drops are coming they will come then, also if any AIB's have got squeaky bottoms and want to flush some stock it always happens February - April time, especially as April for many companies is year end for the ones who don't do year end on December 31st which we are now past, but that is why we got the good deal on KFA2 4090 as they wanted a load shifting before end of year.

I'd also hope by February all XTX were in stock readily available which will drive pricing down, XT won't get much cheaper though those are already aggressively priced, I will keep pushing for $799 on them but only AMD can action that request as they'd need to pay me $100 for everyone I sell to make that happen and currently they give me zero.

Time will tell on that one. I think cards priced closer to £800-850 will move very well, bear in mind 3080 10G still sells like crazy and is like £700-800, the 4070Ti is faster and has 2G more for around £100ish more, so will probably sell well.

XT I'm more interested in... tell AMD to get a move on, funds are burning a hole in my wallet as is.

As someone who bought a 3080 off you over 2 years ago for £649 what do I buy this time for a similar amount that's actually faster?

I'd advise you keep your 3080, as they are superb buys at £649 they are typical 700-800 now. Best to make it last another six months as prices should soften in coming months one would think.

Will be an interesting few months for sure, safe to say the 4070Ti will be slightly faster and be surprised if it isn't. Doesn't look like an FE models are planned for this either?

Hey Gibbo!

Might've missed it, but any idea on when preorders would open again for MBAs or Sapphire 7900 XTX Pulse? (once back orders are cleared, maybe?)

Ended up using one Nitro and filed a return request for another one, unfortunately it's about 5 mm too thick for the other PC :(

maybe if the performace was there for that price but its really not, paying 50% more for the class of card you are getting compared to last gen

Well in fairness the product should beat a 3080 12G comfortably and maybe even a 3080Ti which it’s cheaper than so I guess NVIDIA are pricing products more akin to their performance rather than class.

I agree prices need to come down but time will tell.

Best prod AMD a bit harder for that reduction then buddy?
 
Gibbo said:
Prodded hard but as far as they are concerned they reckon the XT is superior and has 20G VRAM so feel their product will sell fine even if 4070Ti on average is £100 cheaper.

Shall have to see how things pan out.

Will be watching closely as I'm in the market now looking out for deals. Got a G to spend but nothing tempting me to part with it right now...

This is why AMD will keep losing marketshare as they have no ambition to compete and instead are just happy to match Nvidia's terrible pricing strategy.
