I see no reason to spend £1300 odd on the XTX, might as well wait for an MSRP 4090, also, the reviews have been **** poor for the XTX. Below expected performance, much lower than even AMD's own slides indicate, poor drivers, system crashing/blank screens/slow boot issues/flickering/poor frame pacing/identical performance in certain games to 6950XT.......All for the low low price of MINIMUM £1049, what a STEAL OF A DEAL, and yet people wanna spend £1300 LOL, funny, the 4080 was dead in sales and looked like shiet, this card came along and made it look like the safer buy, very similar raster, vastly more stable drivers, cooler, lower power usage, better built, better warranties, vastly better ray tracing and better for creators/professionals, just the better card, even at £1200. Who is mad enough to pay £1300 for a XTX when you can get an overprices 4080 for £1200, that last part should explain how bad the value is for the XTX, especially @£1300.

I guess you didn't read the comment from Gibbo about Jan/Feb prices been more down to earth?
 
Got my order in at 13:53PM, got my order confirmation at 2PM on the nose

I agree with the consensus that the 7900 XTX is wildly overpriced, but I don't have a GPU currently (new AM5 build with a 7950X), and it seems to be the best bang for buck at the moment (RT performance aside, which doesn't really interest me right now, at least until there's little cost to enabling it).

Wait for MSRP 4090? Are you kidding me? :D Might as well wait for the rest of the GPUs to drop prices. It is age old question, either buy now or wait for next best thing. Those with more money than brain will buy now, others will wait it out till they are comfortable with amount they are spending on the product ;)
 
Finally got my order in. Evidently, if you log in using Amazon, you can't use card payments! Either that or Chrome was doing something very odd. In the end, managed to get it done via Edge :eek:

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 :)
