Fr, for a budget cpu I'm super happy with the performance when paired with the 9070XT. Super surprising little chip.
How much did the 9070xt cost?
I somehow found someone selling one on ebay for just £625
Used it for about 5 hours of benchmarking and decided he like his 4070 ti super a tad more
Bargain
Oh that’s a good price I can’t find one for under 1000
I'm telling you I got LUCKY
Yeah
dude was real chill too. Sent me the invoice so I can use the warranty on it
Works a treat
Ebay shouldn't have been my first call but literally nowhere else has it close to msrp
I had amazon lmk when one of the £650 cards was back in stock, and when it finally was, the price was upped to £725
Absolute robbery
Do you recommend any sites to find a 9070xt at msrp
Honestly I can't. Most retailers aren't selling at the prices they should be, and when they DO, they're gone in minutes. The only place I've seen them go for lower prices in general is... well... ebay. But that's more of a risk, my seller was VERY transparent with me, sent me videos, and invoice and pics of everything in the box. Some people will have more of a take it or leave it attitude. Kinda sucks but that's the state of things atm.
If you really wanna play it safe, go for a retailer like overclockers or scan that offer pre orders on new shipments. They'll tell you the price upfront so you can choose to go for the cheaper models. If you are one of the lucky ones, you might get chosen to receive one when they get a new batch in.
Btw I'm assuming you're also UK based lol. If not then whatever the US etc. Equivalent is, go there instead 🙂
It's a bit of a wilds west for gpu sales rn icl
I’m Canadian but I’m pretty sure the currency is worth a bit more in Canada but not by much
Does eBay let you return items if it’s a scam
Some sellers can offer returns, but for most cases where its just some guy who bought it, didn't like it, and wants it gone, they probs won't offer returns (my guy didn't, but obviously he's offered me his warranty if things go ass up). However, ebay buyer protection is RIDICULOUSLY good these days. If you can provide any evidence that the product you receive does not match the description provided by the seller, ebay will cover as much of the cost as they possibly can. So if you buy one on ebay at a good price (and the seller says it works fine), bit later find out its busted, defective or flat out the wrong card (imagine getting a 9070, or a 7900 etc. Instead), ebay will usually have you covered.
Btw when I say "as much as they possibly can", I mean that they'll normally take home £20 or so as a "you're welcome" charge. Worth it tho. I actually did have someone attempt to rug pull the 9070XT I bought from them right after I paid them, and ebay immediately snagged it and got £650 back into my hands.
Ok
I don’t plan on buying my pc for over a year since I can’t afford it rn so I hope prices go down
I'd also use something like PayPal to do the transaction too. Just an extra level of safety
Honestly a solid idea. The cards still very new, and everyone wants one. Whether the prices stabilise or not awaits to be seen, but hopefully they'll be more readily available overtime. Fingers crossed by the time you'll be ready, the market will be in a better spot 🫡
Yeah I hope thanks for all the help
