I thought it was a good price too and was surprised by their comment, seems to be the only one who had a grumble.
Can't please everyone.

I get an error... is it cos I'm a miner?Please have a look at this thread (if you can).
What do you compare it against to conclude it's a bad price? Against unicorn MSRP that doesn't exist?
Advertised RRPs are fictional and only apply to MBA cards sold directly. AMD and Nvidia both did this to con the reviewers, it's as simple as that. If their board partners can't box up & ship MBA to us for less than AMD CLAIM the MSRP should be then that's proof enough that those prices aren't realistic.Just because it's the pricing around the world, doesn't make it a good price though. I beleive that is his point, not that OcUKs pricing is bad. Considering the price they should've been (advertised RRPS) it's a bit of a **** show all round really. *I'm not blaming OcUK, but the pricing has been ridiculous and this card is no different. It didn't help that most companies were price gouging at the start, creating new normals.
The section has not yet been set to the cut off values that have been discussed. As we mentioned when we first floated the idea. Setting up a new section is a lot more complicated than we believed.I guess my post count is probably too low to enter that page.
But I suppose there has to be a cut off somewhere. Understandable given the demand

Well isn't that AMD's fault as it is them who set the MSRP?.I agree, it's hard to compare but paying these prices for cards that should cost £300-400 is still awful. It's a bargain in this climate, it's not a bargain though. I'm not blaming anyone, I'm just saying it's a **** situation and cards are expensive.
Cant see it here.
Thanks
ha ha you had my heart skip a beat there for a second
You need to read Gibbo's command about MSRP meaning jack these days.Well isn't that AMD's fault as it is them who set the MSRP?.
When RX580s are going for £300 used, no one should be complaining about ocuk charging £530 for a quality 6700XT, bargain in this climate.

Genuinely, if you think £529.99 is a terrible price for that card then you honestly don't have any grip of what realistic pricing is in the current climate.
This isn't a personal attack, but honestly, if you expect to see a top quality 6700XT for less than this before the world (component demand and shipping costs) returns to normal, then you'll be disappointed. Gibbo sold these at single figure margin...it's not possible for us to go any cheaper.
As I said a few weeks ago

Compare the performance of the 6700 XT Nitro with the cards that we had for sale this time last year. It's faster and cheaper than the 2070 Super launched at and that was before shipping increased tenfold. By those metrics it's a good deal, the price isn't terrible. People expected too much based on these absolute BS "MSRPs", the fact that they expect a board partner to design their own PCB, fit more VRMs, a better cooler and then ship them by air around the world, still getting close to that price...that's the real ****show in my opinion.
People comparing pricing vs cards launched 5-10 years ago are ignoring two key things;
1) these cards are more complex, have bigger coolers and more components
2) global inflation has happened...and continues to happen
Nvidia and AMD should have been more honest to protect their partners, instead of entering into a phoney price war with each other...that's my genuine viewpoint.
I'm not arguing with you, or anybody for that matter, that the current market rates for these cards are stupid. My argument is that £530 is a terrible price for an overclocked, top notch 6700 XT...anyone who thinks that is not grasping the reality tree..
I've spent the las hour arguing with a brand about a £100 price hike on a 3080 since last month. I'm as frustrated with the whole situation as anybody.
I wouldn't feel bad, likely chance of it being a gamer paying that much for a mining focused GPU is extremely small. Nearly guaranteed to be going in to a mining rig.580s are going for a lot more than £300 right now, I almost felt bad selling mine
So do I, but it's hard work so far, they do not seem to want to give me any kind of assurances about anything, and customer services have had me chasing sales to find answers rather than taking ownership of a customer problem and sorting out what can or cannot be done. And lets face it, there is no 'cannot' really, it's actually a matter of choosing to do something or not to, anything can be done if there is the will to do it.I hope OCUK can get this sorted for you.
