So it has to match a £1000 gfx card in performance but cost £250 less.
Nvidia's marketing is something else I'll give them that
The price for the Sapphire Nitro+ RX 6800 XT at OCUK was 830 GBP inc.

If it matches and is at or around the same price people will just buy Nvidia, that's just a reality unfortunately
I bought the 3080fe for £649 , both 6800xt and 3080 wasn't mainstream cards
Last generation AMD mainstream card was it not 7800xt ?

The MSI recommendation, total system power, for the 5070ti for max OC is 850W, 750W at stock. 300W BIOS
It is unlikely that AMD is as power efficient under max OC so maybe its 900W, total system power, for the 9070XT rig under a OC and not stock. 330W BIOS.
I can’t see it being £700+
AMD know the market is the 0060/0070 segment, anything above that is enthusiasts territory now.
They state they want market share, going in £50-60 under Nvidia gets them nothing, we all know this.
I am certain they are trying to reset the market, offer 4080s performance for 4070 prices.
£500 for the cheapest 4070 in here right now and £450 for the cheapest 7800xt.
Going anywhere north of £550-600 is suicide for them as people will just opt for Nvidia option as they are already comfortable with the drivers and features and the fact DlSS is rammed down your throat everywhere. Again Mindshare!
If AMD want to disrupt if the performance leaks are true, drop the 9070XT @ £549 and the 9070 @ £479.
They would literally not be able to manufacture them fast enough.

One was a flagship.
The 3080 price is such a red herring though... Very few people got them for that price, the 3080ti launched at $1199.
Not mainstream cards though, AMD are targeting mainstream
The 9070XT is not in the same ball park at the 6750XT and you can't draw a direct gen-to-gen comparison.
The 9070XT is a 330W card with a 256 bit bus and 16GB vram.
It's a massive upgrade over a 6750XT or, the 6700, the two cards are not in the same tier.

A dGPU tends to start around £200 these days. Mainstream is what? £200-499. Not sure.
I preferred low/mid/high end terminology.

Are we expecting stock shortages on these with inflated scalper pricing?

I don't think so but I tried tagging gibbo in and heard nothing but unless retailers come clean with numbers we will never know.
It's still aimed at mainstream you do realise each new release its replacing it's supposed to offer improvements whilst keeping similar pricing that goes with any hardware
It's even named with Nvidia, and AMD even stated it's replacing 7800xt and 7900gre

I managed to get a 3080FE from a competitor, for launch price £650. A member on here traded his 3080 Aurus Master for it, which I then sold in Ebay for £1300 and proceeded to buy 2 x Sapphire Nitro 6800XT for £800 each, sold one to my brother for cost. So my 6800XT cost me £150 basically.
This was during Covid times, it’s crazy what people were willing to spend.
Like most people here I’m setting a limit what I’m willing to spend on a GPU.
If AMD saying they are targeting mainstream then they need to price accordingly or they will be as guilty as Nvidia of trying to artificially inflate the market prices.
They are using cheaper memory for a start than what Nvidia are using.
It was insane seeing 2070s being bought on eBay for 700 quid during peak Covid - or 3060Ti's being bought for almost a grand.
I honestly count my lucky stars I completely fluked my way into a 3070 FE when it released.
They sold a few hundred at £649 then never to be see again
Joining alert group helped , as group of friends we all managed to get one so can't have been that terrible
