Give it a few months, those £499 cards will become £399 cards i guarantee it.

How so?

You assuming that AMD and retailers still have a load of 6800/XT's to sell and the 7800XT price won't come down until then? Even so, at best I reckon you'll see a £50 reduction.

Because OCUK has a habit of doing so, it's usually the Sapphire cards that drop first. Gibbo usually pulls a deal somewhere with a decent discount. Will also come down to how well these sell, low sales will force a price reduction too. Like what happened to the RX 7600.

I just looked, the 6800XT is £550.

Obviously that's not an option.....

overclocks on the cards seem pretty good especially the 7700XT's hitting over 3000mhz

There is a big fight between 4060ti 16GB and 7800xt for what is the worst card I think 4060ti wins it but only just. :eek:

At today's exchange rate ($1.25) $500 would be £399 + 20% = £479, but i don't know if there are any added UK costs.

They have been £480 recently. However,one or two places have the RX7800XT for the same price and now Starfield is listed too.

Another Massive Disappointment. The fact that it's slower, and significantly so, than the 6800 XT in some games is comical. This entire generation of cards can get to ****.

Is that the interbank rate or the real rate that the riff-raff have to pay?

The 4060Ti 16GB wins it by about 32% :eek:

This is how AMD marketing screwed up yet again by calling it a 7800XT, it's 5% faster and 30% cheaper; whereas they should have called it a 7800.

If you compare it to the similarly priced, similar power-draw, similarly CU number 6800 then you are getting 25-30% uplift gen on gen at a slight discount or you're getting a 6800XT at a 30% discount.

This isn't super exciting, but it isn't bad like the 4080 12GB shennigans.

I don't think the RTX4060TI is comparable as its terrible. The RX7800XT is an RTX4070 competitor for nearly the same streetprice,so the RTX4070 would be no better.

But it seems some retailers are bundling Starfield with it(OcUK shows no game bundled),so its better value than both for now....which is not hard.

Maybe I am getting more jaded.

And the RX 6800 was $579.99.

Bad name, good price, that's all that matters....

Need Gibbo to chime in here, he did say he was delaying stock by a week to maintain a better price. Competitors seem to be getting similar prices though.

Another site has Starfield listed with this (at £480 and £490) but when you click that link to the terms, the 7800 XT is not mentioned on the list. Maybe not been updated but is it worth the risk?

It was a **** up the moment they realised they had nothing to compete with the 4090. The 7900xtx was meant to be that card but it obviously didn't and only gets compared to a 4080 so their whole entire line up got messed up.

Not to mention nvidia shifting their stack so they can increase prices while giving you less in return. It didn't really give AMD much choice.

Probably not updated, in the keynote/launch they mentioned it would be bundled with Starfield.
