Honestly my heart is on the Nitro, and she who must be obeyed told me to just get the better one if I was going to get one, but if I was heart set on an RRP card, I think the Gigabyte is what I'd be going for. Thier UK RMA office is/was in MK which also helps!

I actually really like the Pulse its just looking at TPU it doesn't really OC much while Nitro+ gains nearly 10% but that is in synthetic test IIRC

Yeah the pulse looks like a cracking card, really nice cooler.

The Gigabyte is catching my eye for throwing an OC model in at RRP pricing though, especially if warranty is the same, and as an OC model, its likely to have better power delivery, it's 3x8 rather than 2x8 afterall.

amazing post/info Gibbo - real credit to your customer-service.

"Sapphire Pulse 9070 XT at £569.99 - 300 units available and shall be released in batches of 100 at a time throughout the day "

Does this mean that a 2pm 100 cards at MSRP will be available and then that's it until the next batch of 100? or does it mean that after 100 sales the price will jump ~£50 to continue sales and dip back to MSRP later? If it's the latter then it almost makes sense to wait before trying to buy and let non forum users grab them at the higher price?

Prices will only jump once all MSRP is sold!

So if goes to plan 100 units at 14:00, 100 at 15:00ish and 100 more at 17:00ish etc

In fairness to them, they do not have a base level card on the XT, there is no Challenger SKU yet, as such they are giving funds to bring a much higher spec (more expensive cooler) down to MSRP, so it has cost them more per card to do so. Still I was pushing for 50 units.

Well that good. It's cool that you are sharing the some of the behind the scenes info. Thx.
 
Gigabyte uses Vapor Chamber.

PTM is a phase thermal pad rather than thermal paste, so theoretically wouldnt degrade in the same way.

I still don't know what card to go for. I'd like the Devil but the Nitro looks the part to. This card will replace a 3090 in my second machine.
