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
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.
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.
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.
All Saphire cards too and some XFX cards, to be fair they're the 3 best AIBs for AMD anyway
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.
Will there be none available direct from AMD?
Ah that's crap, the reference cards looked really good the last time.

Unfortunately you're right. Pity, I have the reference 6900XT and I really like the way it looks.

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
No, scan ship ex UK Vat and then you are charged Irish Vat by DPD/An Post before delivery.
Is it 2pm gmt EU/UK wide for release?
Scan actually charge the Irish 23% VAT rate on checkout now. No customs duty on computer components etc
Even better.
So if I buy from scan there's no import duty or tax to pay? Same with overclockers?
I take it from this thread Scan are accepting Irish customers 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
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
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
Are you logged in on Scan? I get the following when adding a 7900XTX to my basket for delivery to Ireland.
Ah for some reason my address had UK instead of Ireland, working now. Thanks
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.
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
I checked with MemoryC and they don't know if they'll have stock.
Overclockers have their preliminary prices up, just divide by 10 to get the real numbers.
Are those prices above MSRP? Or is MSRP speculation until tomorrow? Works out around €770 for the card I was looking at. Planning on my first PC build. Would be nice to get a new model card but wondering am I going overboard spending that on GPU.
No, I don't think so, for some reason they didn't announce what the MSRP should be in euro or pound.
Since that screenshot was taken, they have adjusted the prices, they have increased around £100 or so.
Just went on for a look, im seeing the same prices as in the image, ranging from £630 to £800 if the 10% thing is right.
Factoring in exchange rates, delivery and whatever VAT might be added at checkout the cheapest model will probably be about €800 delivered, at least my rough math says so.
