OcUK GUIDE TO ORDERING YOUR AMD 9070 GRAPHICS CARD TODAY AT 14:00

[BullDock]

Asrock charge us a lot more for a Steel Legend compared to a Reaper / Pulse. Hence why the latter are £629 versus Steel Legend £659

the base 9070XT cards like Reaper? or the 9070 cards?

He was replying to a post about the 9070 XT version, so I assume it's the 9070XT which makes sense. Because it went from 569 to 629, then 639 and now 649 and tomorrow 659...

I've just managed to get a Reaper XT for just £13 over MSRP!!!! I can't say where on here obviously but I'm well chuffed. Will have to fight the urge for a 4K monitor now.....

Nice one! I'm so incredibly curious now haha

Is it an online shop or a high street retailer?

So it wasn't originally priced at MSRP? only the code brought it down to near MSRP?

Correct

I can't believe people actually paid £800 for the PowerColor Red Devil,no wonder they put the prices up when there's people willing to pay that much

That’s for the LE. I paid 712 for the standard edition (which now seems a good deal with the new pricing of the Cats) as I don’t need any of the stuff that comes with it. Build quality is solid.

Hopefully we will get a heads up off @Gibbo for the Sapphire drop tomorrow if it arrives.

You should be good, I got a load of PC components off them a couple of months back with that code.

@Gibbo Can we also ask if any other models are expected in this week? Sorry if this has already been asked/answered, did have a look but couldn't see. Thanks

Loads were in this morning at 11am, but all sold out now.

@Gibbo
I hope this isn't presumptuous of me to ask but, how often can you refill your stock? Specifically the Sapphire Plus 9070XT?

I would prefer a 1440p OLED but to each there own

my son, daughter and I game at 1440. however my daughter has just got a 9070. She has tested it out by playing games (Monster Hunter Wilds, space marine 2, cyberpunk etc) and doing the in-game benchmarks - and getting > 150 FPS at 1440. I am now wondering if going to 4K is practical now with these cards.

Going forward, you'll get worse framerates with new games.

I'd stick with 1440p

Patiently waiting for the nitros to arrive.

I have to deal with our lovely customs regime delaying me on the regular during my day job, now they're hurting my leisure time too... Soon I'll be having nightmares about them

We have had no further updates so far, other than clearance completed at 15:01 today. Customs don't exactly rush.
