@Gibbo once I get a card in the basket is it held for a minute or two or is there a chance it's gone before I finish the checkout?

 

[robj20]

Once they go above MSRP it's a no from me. I'll wait it out until later in the year, just upgrade the rest of my system first.

> MSRP is capped quantity of a few hundred, so prices will jump once those are sold through.

What will the Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 9070 XT and PowerColor Radeon RX 9070 XT Reaper price jump to? Currently at £570 so imagining £600?

Thanks

 

[henry hoov3r]

£570...nice.

Shame the Sapphire Pure is over £100 more though! That was what I was hoping to get, but no way at that price.

Its £570 in OCUK or am i missing something?

Basket is live, so if someone else beats you to it, the basket will kick you out.

We implemented this method simply to prevent over selling, yes it is annoying to be kicked out, but it is even more annoying if your order goes through and paid, then you find out the stock oversold and you aint getting one.

So in short if the check out boots you out, then that stock or batch of stock has sold out, of course keep checking the site as we have loads of 9070 shipments due tomorrow and over coming days, so though we have 1000's in stock we have about another 3000 units en-route also.

Yeh, I'm not paying over £570 for one seen as that's the proper price.

Yeah same i think

I'm actually tempted again at £569. Above that? Nope.

Its out of principle. Doing so just encourages manufacturers and retailers to try it on.

The more it goes over £570, the less of a decent deal it becomes anyway as a new GPU.

So can anybody explain to me why they jack the price up past msrp when the first few hundred are sold? They’ve got 1000’s in stock.

Sorry i read that as pulse.

Probably something like a rebate from amd to sell x amount at a certain price point. That's the way it was with vega iirc.

Money. Price them as high as people will tolerate.

 

[Boomstick777]

5070ti does look good ...if was £570.

Aren't some of the nicer 9070XT's £800 though? Retailers seem to charge what they like.

To take advantage of the hype/FOMO.

They will be back down to £569 eventually once all the release hype dies down i'm sure (unless there are any big economic issues that come about).

 

[Rob_B]

Will they? depends on the stock of the 7900XT/XTX and similarly priced Nvidia cards, otherwise if they're the only 'midrange' option then they'll continue to sell.

 

[Chrisc]

I buy one at MSRP, budget is £600. Anything over that and Ill hold out.

 

[varkanoid]

Huh. What's the story behind the burger?

You've been here since 2009 and DONT KNOW what the burger is ?? Where've you been hiding under a rock ? (no offence)
