As usual the UK gets shafted. Looking at Newegg and some other retailers in Europe there is stock and more models too,especially at near RRP.

calm down, eat less sugar or at least don't stick it up your nose. I DGAF which multi billion corporation makes a product that gives me 60 FPS when gaming, but the 7800XT has a strong argument for it.

Just seen that if you go to the actual terms on AMD site, it is mentioned.

The ones worth buying are over £600, CAT.
Now I am imagining an alternative reality where the new cards slotted in at the MSRP for last Gen whilst offering significant gen on gen performance uplifts:
7600 --> 7500
7700XT/7800XT -- > 7700 / 7700XT
7900XT --> 7800XT
7900XTX --> 7900XT
(So in the example above the 7900XT as we know it was launched as the 7800XT @ the 6800XT MSRP ($649 IIRC).
Same on the Nvidia side whereby the 4080 as it currently is called was released as the 4070 with a new ~14000 CU card being the 4080. With pricing aligning with what they currently cost (so basically a 4080 performance for £579).
Then I sipped my coffee and woke back up again... *sigh*

Seems pretty good to me if you were searching around.
Any news on 7800 xt?
That would mean the RTX4070 12GB is barely 10% faster in rasterised performance: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/asus-geforce-rtx-4060-ti-dual-oc/31.html The 4070 has always been a bad buy and with the 7800xt and 7700xt either side of it raster wise it's looking like an even crapper buy now.

The 6950xt at £549 a few months ago was a much better buy!
Oh no not another captain hindsight!

Ncice card, 12% performance gain from overclocking, matches a 4070Ti.....
You better look for that RRP model,before the restock at £500+ which will probably happen.

So looking at the 7700XT, if you review it as a 6700XT replacement, you're basically getting 20% more performance for virtually the same power draw.
Better than the 6800XT to 7800XT but the pricing is terrible. You might as well pony up the extra money for the 7800XT.
The 7700XT could have been a real hero card but not at its current pricing.

The power draw is a bit of an eye opener espeically when you put it up against it's competition the RTX 4070. Whatever happened to RDNA 3 being 50% more efficient per watt?

Yup, AMD over promised and under delivered on the power front.
Much like with Ryzen, I hope AMD make massive learnings from this first generation of chiplet GPU design and improve/refine the technology over the next two generations.

Bit of luck it'll be a £350/360 in a couple of months...
Scott Herkelman Q&A: AMD Radeon boss
Club386: Energy efficiency also appears weaker than Nvidia on paper – RTX 4070, for example, has a 200W TGP, compared to 245W for RX 7700 XT. Is this an area of concern?SH: We have a company initiative in driving good performance per watt across our portfolio of products. We look at perf per watt on every chart when bringing all chips to market. In notebooks, it matters greatly. In desktop, however, it matters, but not to everyone. There are some people who are really concerned about power, others don’t care as much. We definitely want to make a better perf-per-watt chip. A better chip makes the overall board more affordable, which enables us to do different things with the pricing and hopefully supply additional performance to the gamer. It’s also good for the environment and your own electricity bill.
Power is definitely a prime initiative. You’ll see us over time get better and better at it. We need to catch up. There are still bugs that we need to fix. Idle power is one of them. We believe there is a driver fix for it. It’s a wonky one, actually. We do see some inconsistencies with idle power that shouldn’t be there, and we’re working with our partners to maybe help with that. It will be cleaned up, but it might take a bit more time.
