@Gibbo - 7900 XT Red Devil has shot up on OcUK and can be had cheaper, was going to order it now as it's in-stock over the Nitro+ but might as well wait for it.

Price has never changed, it has been £1049.99 for weeks, but I've reviewed the price and its now £989 or will be soon.

Nitro's and Devils are selling like crazy! Cracking cards!
But they are beast, 24GB with 384-bit memory interface, bandwidth crazy.

Even the XT sales are starting to really ramp up, but again 20GB with 320-Bit memory interface, proper high-end specification.

Once the drivers improve and mature I can see these 7900 series cards been mentally quick.

Anyone gaming at 1080P should forget new stuff totally, just buy an RX 6600 - 6700 XT in the £250-£450 bracket, more than enough for 1080-1440 gaming without spending stupid money.

Those looking at 2K superwide and 4K the new 7900 series are proper fast, with driver updates can see them been top dogs in 4K gaming.

Amen! I’ve ordered a second Nitro Gibbo for a relative. Do you think it will dispatch today? Order was placed yesterday Afternoon.

Maybe today, I know the warehouse is silly busy still, December was busier than last December by some miracle and January is off to a flying start, so if its not today, shall be tomorrow.

Yes.

Also got my hands on a Speedster Merc too. It's not a patch on the Nitro though tbh.

If anyone's struggling to get a XTX card it's cuz this guy is buying them all...

It's okay. Only went with it as stock came up before OcuK got their second batch of Nitro. Should have waited tbf as the Nitro is better in almost every regard.

Says the man that has had every AMD and Nvidia GPU going in the past two years, plus every type of display!

Hmmm, I wonder what was happening the last couple of years....

Boredom = playtime!!

He does seek help, from Dr. Gibbo, daily. That's the problem

I've spent thousands of pounds in recent months at OcuK, more than anywhere else after a bit of a hiatus prior to that.

Would you guys use a +12VHPWR to 2 x 8 pin or two seperate pci-e cables for your 7900XTX?

I would use two separate PCIe cables. Using an adapter means an extra connector inline, which adds unwanted resistance.

edit: Nevermind - you mean a PSU with modular 12VHPWR connector on it, not an adapter. I would still use the separate cables though, as the pins are bigger, and thus have lower contact resistance.

I thought the wires in the 12VHPWR cable is meant to be a thicker guage to handle the 600W?

Correct - this MSI MPG ATX 3.0 psu has a cable which is 12VHPWR modular on the PSU side and then ends in 2 x 8 pins which i've used for the 7900XTX

The ATX spec recommends 16AWG instead of 18AWG, but that's for cables with a 12VHPWR connector at the GPU end. You'll have to check your PSU specs (or look at the actual cables - it's often printed on the insulation) to see what actual wire guage has been used.
