Well I finally managed to get a card today, been trying on and off since last year. It's not the 3080 I 'really' wanted, I managed to get in on the voucher code for the RX 6700XT earlier and it has been shipped so I know I did get in this time. While I would perhaps rather have a 3070 as I think it's the better card in many respects, even the cheapest up now is still £300 more than the 6700XT was and some are flat out twice the price and a bit more even. Funny as it may sound to say this right now, especially as taking MSRP into account, the 6700XT has not been thought of as being particularly good value by the reviewers so far ...however against a 3070 costing upwards of £750 it actually is, because that price difference is a totally different class of card type difference not a rough equivalence.
