Will the reference GRE version be available in the UK?

The RX 7900 GRE as of 20/03/2024 - Not such a flawed product?

Yeah the pricing all over is a mess
I bought a 7800XT expecting to upgrade it in a year or 18 months mind as it only feels like a stop gap card.

Ah ok. That was way overpriced I recall.
Not anymore
Ah yeah, not bad pricing. Nitro looks good
I like the stealthy look of the reference, bit of a change vs rgb out the wazoo.

Slight regret about buying a 7800XT mba for £499 in October. I’ve overclocked it so I’m sure I’ve bridged the 8-10% perf differential between the GRE.
Getting 21500 on Timespy at 1440p.

GRE enjoyers will probably have similar feelings when the top SKU RDNA4 launches later this year if the pricing and performance speculation is accurate and on it goes!
I wouldn't agree with the OPs premise that the GRE is a strangely flawed product, it's appeal is just dependent on pricing and availability vs other cards in the AMD stack. It seems like competition at the £500 point is really heating up now and downward pressure should increase in the next few months if stocks of competing products hold up.
The GRE feels like it has a better balance of resources than the 7800XT despite the power and memory bandwidth constraints so should fare better over time. In particular the difference in TMU (240 Vs 320), ROP (96 Vs 160) CU and ray accelerator counts (60 Vs 80) is quite significant even if currently hobbled by clocks.
With use of the mobile Navi 31 and lower lower requirements the GRE is RDNA3's 6800 successor, which is still a pretty capable card in most respects.

88c hotspot is not that bad unless the fans are running full tilt, then I would consider it a slight problem due to the temp and a bigger problem due to the noise.
I'm pretty sure someone is gonna figure out a way to unlock overclocking if enough of these enter the wild...awaits overclocking results from new owners of 7900 GRE.

digital foundry has it competing with the 4070super in some cases never mind the 4070. yea it looses some too but its a lot more expensive. the 4070 is behind this card according to them.

Just looking at the reviews and see the nitro hotspot is around 81 - 82 is this high ?, seems lower than the others on techspot.
