That's very sensible, however the 12gb really bothers me. Even though it's fine in most games, there are exceptions. EG I can't run Indiana Jones at max settings because of this. It's performance is great but it's held back by vram.

That is now down to consumer having a bit of backbone, no point in waiting for cheaper cards then paying over the top for those as well.

Seems like the 9070xt is good for £600 but for VR software side of things I guess it’s still better to go with Nvidia?

Looks like AMD knocked it out of the park (or other sports analogy), it's great to see everyone so happy. It's been pretty miserable and desperate recently with shortages of old and new cards.
Here's to AMD saving the day
Here's to AMD saving the day
you and me both...3080fe is my metric so that's my price limit also
so 50% performance increase for same price...I'm good with that for an upgrade...
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Specs
NVIDIA GA102, 1710 MHz, 8704 Cores, 272 TMUs, 96 ROPs, 10240 MB GDDR6X, 1188 MHz, 320 bit
Probably not. US prices don't include sales tax, our prices include VAT.
I think they're probably saving the $499 price point for the 9060 that will come out later. I wonder how much this is going to cause Nvidia to adjust their pricing of their 5060 and 5060Ti.
Should have been 60 quid with two packets of haribos and free next day delivery.
Not that I would buy it mind. I just think that might have forced nvidia to knock 20% off their 5070ti and I could buy that instead.

It's a bit disingenuous to say that when we're comparing it against AMD's MSRP
cheapest one on ocuk in stock is £859 !
and in a lot of cases the 9070xt looks to beat it. 3/4 price for slightly better performance. What more is wanted?

Do you know why HUB said AMD didn't go cheaper enough? Because $600 is not enough for Nvidia to reduce pricing, ironically because of the added value people like him gave Nvidia just for being Nvidia.
If supply is good for these, it likely will cause Nvidia some problems with their entire range from 5070-5080.
It makes the whole range look expensive, but the card it makes look the most expensive is the 5080.
£400 more (based on RRP) for 10-15% perf increase and the same vram...
At the moment they are selling for double or more/£600-£800 more than the 9070xt RRP. That's insane for such a tiny increase in performance and no vram increase.

Currently the cheapest 5070ti in stock is £859.99
Even worse really since there isn't really an AIB under £1100 the MSRP ones seemed to be day one pricing only. It's around 80% more given FE is like hens teeth

If that's how you're judging it the cheapest 9070 on OcUK is £12,000.
So now all we really need to know is:
- The price
The performance
right?
Yup.
Don't worry about it.5070ti ordered? hope it wasn't too much above £800
Unfortunately what AMD showed today was worse than what we were hypothesizing with then, so the price is less unexpected when performance is worse than expected.
They have 16gb AFAIK
