I dare say the AIBs have ultimate control as they are making them. As you say supply and demand.

OcUK GUIDE TO ORDERING YOUR AMD 9070 GRAPHICS CARD TODAY AT 14:00
- Thread starter Gibbo
- Start date
AIBs can't sell them at MSRP if AMD charge them too much. AMD have ultimate control over pricing, they can charge AIBs less or make their own reference model if they wanted to hit MSRP.
I'm not defending prices, they are too high all round. Somehow an nV 70 series card is north of £700 and you think it's good?
lolWhile punters have the cash, the price remains is all I'm saying. I've a backlog of games to play, I will wait

He's yapping about lacklustre supply, they've been more available than the nvidia equivalents.

I don't like Nvidia MSRP pricing but Nvidia cards are available at MSRP, AMD cards are not
True, MSRP is too high as well

You guys keep saying NVIDIA is available at MSRP, but the 5070ti had an MSRP of $750 which (in case you forgot), when converted to sterling +20% vat, it comes to around £675.
Cheapest 5070ti I seen is around £729 (£55 above MSRP), so no, even NVIDIA is not selling at MSRP; if it was, it would be the better choice(?) instead of 9070xt, since it is the same price as nitro with slightly more performance.
At this point, I think I am more morally inclined to just buy a second hand low tier 10 series (or AMD equivalent), just so I won't support this sort of corpo behavior. My individual will not amount to much (if anything), but we need more people to spit on these corpo scum who screw us for more money.
Nvidia is lying, so is AMD. There is no good side here to pick.

From reviews
The new card is slated to start at $749/£729, though most models should go for a bit more than that if past RTX 50-series releases are anything to go by.

According to @Gibbo MSRP is £729 for the 5070 ti in this country, and they had to bring out a special tier of cards, below their lowest models to hit that. They have cheaper coolers than their base models. So expect to sound like they're about to take off.You guys keep saying NVIDIA is available at MSRP, but the 5070ti had an MSRP of $750 which (in case you forgot), when converted to sterling +20% vat, it comes to around £675.

How does this fix the street price being so high?
The customers are literally setting the price themselves and when the retail price is below the street price then scalpers move in, buy everything with bots and resell at the street price. Have we not had enough years of seeing this happen?
The only way to bring down the price of cards is to produce huge quantities.
That isn't how an MSRP works when all cards are sold in USD. This is why you'll see every excuse under the sun to raise card prices when the £ weakens against the $, as the landed cost for the cards goes up in real terms, but when it goes the other way rubbish get made up not to pass on the savings, irrespective of it being a GPU, CPU or other item that is controlled in USD. MSRP is the $ converted to local currency then add local taxes.

I got fed up of stressing about the 9070 XT reaper so I put my pre-order in on the OcUK website; it means I don't have to keep checking every day 
Hi there
How about a 20G 7900 XT at the 9070 XT MSRP (£569.99) ?:

Very true! Wonder if AMD now have a load of 7900 Series inventory kicking around?
Doubt it, the cards stopped production a long time ago and haven't been listed as in stock on their site since last year at one point. Last time I looked was around November and a few months before that and they were consistently out of stock.
