Nitro xtx is a gorgeous card its easily the nicest card I've owned and the silentest I do get sometimes a bit wishful and hanker for a 4090 instead but then I look at the price and think "nope".

Thats good news, atleast until I had a look. I'd say the reason theres no love for the MBA cards is because AMD are trying to sell them for more than their partner cards.

The MBA is still priced quite well and I would say is rather classy looking akin to FE of Nvidia.
I’d say the only partner card worth getting both for aesthetics and performance is the Nitro- all others are a bit poor in build quality and performance.

Maybe, thats all subjective really but I guess I was expecting AMD to offer to incentive to guy their cards over their partner cards. Kinda like Nvida FE cards. Also are you sure they've been selling to the UK since 2020 because I find that hard to believe as most people where complaining that AMD don't sell direct to UK since brexit and if you Google are are still complaing as of April this year

Don’t know when it changed but I had a look about 7 months ago and was able to purchase in GBP.Maybe, thats all subjective really but I guess I was expecting AMD to offer to incentive to guy their cards over their partner cards.

Guess the AiBs are setting their msrp slightly above msrp of the MBA but through some certain retailer discounts they are popping up for about £20 less than MBA msrp. Personally would pay the extra (especially if PC is on your desk in a glass case and you’re looking at it all the time) and take the MBA for the reasons in my previous post.

Yeah I do like the look of the MBA cards, looks better than the Nitro imo because I don't like the massive RGB stripe on the Nitro. I went for the Pulse, mainly becasue it was £700 and I was putting a waterblock on it so didn't care what it looked like

Waterblock looks amazing. I totally get where you are coming from. Pulse at £699 was an OCUK bargain and not to be seen again for another few months. I think the sapphire MBA was £750ish discounted. I don’t recall AMD discounting it for less than £800.Yeah I do like the look of the MBA cards, looks better than the Nitro imo because I don't like the massive RGB stripe on the Nitro.

I think a ton of us ended up getting the Pulse when it was 699 - there was a big spike in people showing their new GPUs around that point.

I keep all the boxes of everything I buy in my wardrobe. Checked that I still had the extra 8 pin PCI-e power connector for the 7900 XTX in my PSU box before I ordered it. My 6750 XT only needed 2x 8 pin PCI-e connectors.so put the alphacool block on my 7900xt tonight .. going in the machine tom after work .. have to unclip the old vega64 .. but was a good card for many yrs ..
