Guys he sometimes posts the deals after lunch. You guys will probably come to the conclusion though that automatically get deals by pressing the F5 11,926 times

I'm wondering if once Vega 56 sells out nothing will touch it value wise for a while or if 5700 (none XT) will beat it and then eventually drop to £300-£250. Decisions, decisions
That's a fairly safe bet.
I've got two keyboards in case one F5 wears out.

You people need to look around at deals sites,which post discount codes. You can get a Vega56 for £200 by doing this.
Yup but don't want a blower card!
Caporegime
You can get non blower for not a massive amount more though.
I would consider that. But wanted to see the deals here first. I have a suspicion they wont be as good as we hope though

I would expect OcUK CS will be better though!!
Agreed.

OCUK's deals can be very good they're not usually cheap on GPU's though.

The Strix isn't as good as the Sapphire/Red Devil from what I've read
I was going to get the Blower for £200 but people scared me off it

i guess it depends if you game with headphones on...
Strix doesn't seem to cool the VRM or cool it sufficiently from googling
Even with headphones the blower doesn't have a zero fan mode, so even on the desktop doing nothing will still be buzzin away, for a bit extra the twin or triple fan models will be great, I promise

If you're dead set on buying form here then buy the Pulse or Red Dragon.
I can't help thinking we'll see some good deals on the RTX2060 in the next couple of weeks.
With the rumoured refresh, some existing RTX SKU are likely to be dropped, or see a price cut which could make for some good deals.
While I don't think it will be a cheap as Vega based on the MSI deal, there has already been one card at £250 with another at £280.
Only concern I have with Vega, other than noise, is that AMD will now be optimising for RDNA, so once GCN is no longer a lead platform, it may not get much further development.
The next couple of weeks could be interesting, just a question of when and what to buy for my Zen 2 build.

There's a massive price gap between the 2060 and 2070, from what i've read the 2060 Super is going to fill that gap, with no drop on 2060 prices :s
