    AMD have been amazing lately. 9070 XT makes buying most other cards in that price range pointless, especially with NVIDIA’s melting connectors being genuine hazards. ATI (who were dissolved in 2010 after being bought out by AMD) and NVIDIA in the mid to late 2000s however were dumpster fires in their own ways.

      Depends if you can actually find a 9070XT at the price they advertised it at. Once that happens I’ll be convinced, right now though that’s very much felt like a bit of a bait and switch. Holding out hope though.

        Yeah, pricing is not the greatest at the moment, most likely because there’s no reference card to keep other prices in check. Still (at least here in the UK) they are still well below the stratospheric NVIDIA prices for a 5070 Ti and are easily available.
