and now to data to show that PC gaming is as healthy as you say. I'd be surprised if it wasn't facing a similar decline simply due to the current financial climate

I say that tongue in cheek as plenty of PC gamers also forget about the spend on displays. Many have got the C2/LG's or them widescreen AW displays which are over a grand which can be more than what the cards cost.
That's what I said so not sure what your quoting me for..
Plus won't be available to buy direct from AMD's site, i'd be so surprised if they opened up again to allow UK buyers to purchase the OG cards and not the AIB cards.
Because I only quoted your first post "Agree with what your saying. But, the OLED telly is quite a hefty spend too." and I hadn't read your followup comments.
Selling direct at RRP is a good way to stop scalpers but it can also hurt retail outlets who aren't scalping.
Its a good tool but its probably better to link to retail outlets that aren't being ####.

nVidia didn't have product available on the day they launched the top end 4000 series cards. Can't see why AMD would be any different?AMD as always trailing behind if true
Saying that I'm in no rush.
It seems to me Nvidia rushed it, again, to get out ahead of AMD.
Nvidia's option is available to buy now and has been for past 2/3 weeks? If true that's still over a month away for amd...
As said though I'm not buying ada anyway and not got any games where my 3080 is struggling with anyway so it doesn't impact me too much but still annoying to see amd not bringing the fight now, probably because they have even less stock than Nvidia.

Are AMD late or were Nvidia early? I'd say Nvidia were early given the issues they hadn't quite ironed out. Best to be first but bad if it hurts your image. AMD just need to get pricing right, everything else will be excused if they do that right.
Let's be honest. The releases are close enough together that determining who is early or late is irrelevant. As much as we are watching people rush to buy 4090, these first few month will be a small percentage of the liftime sales of this card. With the two year life cycles of graphics cards, a card is only really late if it is released 6-12 months after the competitor.

You (and others) seemed to be having a dig at AMD for having a launch but not having cards available for 2/3 weeks later. I was pointing out nVidia did the same. I wasn't commenting on their release schedule. These things are planned months in advance.

It's not like Nvidia have much on the market, a minimal sales top end card, that's it.
