I checked with MemoryC and they don't know if they'll have stock.
great news about scan.. i bought my current 1070 off them a long time ago now will be getting another order if i can snag one
Ok I've setup an account on overclockers, scan and caseking (obviously hoping for amazon). Is there anywhere else that will likely offer close to MSRP prices? I checked out paradigit but current cards look overpriced so probably a non-runner.
Ah for some reason my address had UK instead of Ireland, working now. Thanks
Are you logged in on Scan? I get the following when adding a 7900XTX to my basket for delivery to Ireland.
I went through checkout on both Scan and Overclockers there out of curiosity, Overclockers removed the UK 21% and added 23% but Scan didn't do either
Thank you, I'll be trying the European Amazon and German stores first Thursday but good to know the UK stores are shipping to Ireland again
Aye. As long as the included UK VAT is removed and the Irish 23% rate is re-applied to the item (and delivery) on checkout, with correct documentation in order, there is no VAT implication on import to Ireland.
Computer components are zero-duty items if sourced outside the EU, so a lot of what people sometimes think is import duties on certain deliveries via AnPost etc over 150 euro, are usually just the VAT and handling fees.
Items like Computers, Computer Parts, Monitors, Printer Inks, Phones, Cameras, Games Consoles, Headphones, CDs etc are exempt from duty
Revenue site actually has a couple decent examples of scenarios like the below
Example 2 - Goods with an intrinsic value over €150 with a zero rate of Customs Duty Laptop purchased with an intrinsic value over €150 Value Laptop cost €301.00 Handling, transport and insurance €33.00 Value for customs purposes (€301 + €33) €334.00 Customs Duty (rate of 0%) €0.00 Value for VAT purposes (€334 + €0) €334.00 VAT (23% of €334.00) €76.82 Total import charges (€0 + €76.82) €76.82 Courier or postal operator administration fee €10.00* Total cost €420.82
Example 2 - Goods with an intrinsic value over €150 with a zero rate of Customs Duty Laptop purchased with an intrinsic value over €150 Value
Laptop cost €301.00 Handling, transport and insurance €33.00 Value for customs purposes (€301 + €33) €334.00 Customs Duty (rate of 0%) €0.00 Value for VAT purposes (€334 + €0) €334.00 VAT (23% of €334.00) €76.82 Total import charges (€0 + €76.82) €76.82 Courier or postal operator administration fee €10.00* Total cost €420.82
I take it from this thread Scan are accepting Irish customers again?!
So if I buy from scan there's no import duty or tax to pay? Same with overclockers?
Even better.
Scan actually charge the Irish 23% VAT rate on checkout now. No customs duty on computer components etc
Is it 2pm gmt EU/UK wide for release?
No, scan ship ex UK Vat and then you are charged Irish Vat by DPD/An Post before delivery.
if we order from scan we'll be hit with import duties right? hopefully can get one off amazon.de or something its a shame there's no real local options in Ireland
RX 9070 XT models comparison sheet - via reddit.
https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-confirms-radeon-rx-9070-xt-reference-design-wont-be-available-for-purchase?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR1Tk5wgWtGAEhO5g6k5GkM1l_02TywUd982XZnGWxrvCWQWxYQLeLsLpT8_aem_Y4oZtvsCugyPQ2AvpwVn_g
Unfortunately you're right. Pity, I have the reference 6900XT and I really like the way it looks.
Ah that's crap, the reference cards looked really good the last time.
Will there be none available direct from AMD?
The reaper and sapphire pulse are listed on overclockers, and the pulse is also on scan. The reaper will probably be my target. It's slightly smaller dimensions are better for my cramped case and I'm not bothered with overclocking.
All Saphire cards too and some XFX cards, to be fair they're the 3 best AIBs for AMD anyway
All of them will be flying off the shelves at those prices compared to the 50 series.
Also seen ptm7950 used on some sapphire cards in the marketing.
PowerColor Reaper going to fly off the shelves at that price!
They're the only AIB that's switched to using Honeywell PTM7950 for their thermal interface, on all cards even.
This was posted on reddit earlier, let's hope that they are real.
I am considering going for the nitro pulse, but really unsure of the 2x6 power connector.
Going to try and snag a high power version Thursday, do we have any idea of which have the highest board power? I'm assuming nitro, red devil, taichi
That would be amazing but I can't see them being that cheap. I reckon €700-800 ($599 + 20% vat + mark-up) for the cheapest 9070 XT is probably the best case scenario for Europe.
But until prices are officially announced 🤷. I don't think AMD will be selling any cards directly this time so retailers will also take their cut.
Nvidia don't care about price complaints and they don't care if gamers are happy.
AI is the sales volume and value for them, and Gamers proved during the mining boom that they can be duped into spending whatever is asked if you keep supply short. It makes literally no difference to them if gamers are unhappy
The tariff situation is likely unpossible to work out with no commentary coming from the manufacturers (that I've seen). You would think cards from China have at least 20% on them now but what of cards manufactured elsewhere? I'm fairly sure at least one of the AIBs got things going outside China. But then of course the chips are made in Taiwan and good luck working out if the One China policy means they are therefore all hit with tariffs or not!
You would think nvidia in particular would be shouting from the rooftops that X% of the price in the USA is tariffs to try to help reduce the heat on them over the prices people have to pay in the USA if they were all subject to a 20% import tariff by now (only 10% of that of course is new since the MSRPs for the 50 series were announced though it feels like those MRSPs ignored any tariffs).
The US pricing is also probably taking into account the Trump tariffs which do not apply in the EU, right?
So should still be around the 1:1 ratio $:£
Is hard return a graphic card back to Amazon.co.uk
