Not a bad deal, tho I'm not sure if AC Shadows is the best game to bundle with your cards given all the drama around it. At least it doesn't seem to increase the price of the card more than the usual nonsense of US to any other currency conversion we usually see. I've seen the cards from AsRock and Sparkly for around 310€.

By the way, I've seen mentioned in some places that the B580 was around 400€ here in Europe, matching the price of the 7700XT. Does anyone know where that comes from? Because it's weird and doesn't seem to match what I've seen.

I think it'll be fine.
Combat animations looked way better in this clip compared to what I saw before.

As for the price, I see it consistently cost the same across major retailers in Sweden.

That's the expected MSRP. Unfortunately pretty much all our GPU's cost about $100 extra here for some EU tax law reason, and I know it affects other EU countries as well.
But the Nvidia cards tend to be marked up a bit more even due to demand/scalpers, etc.

And that's 300 Euro. Not close to the rumored 400 you mentioned.

The problem with AC Shadows has never been the gameplay, but the criticisms from some groups and the poor way Ubisoft handled it, leading to other problems.

As for the price of the card, the 400€ mention was something I saw on the net regarding its price in Europe, which didn't make much sense. Hence why I asked if anyone else know where this came from. But it seems to be some nonsense that some tried to spread for some reason.

The card is actually "fairly" priced, with an almost 1:1 conversion. If you pick those $249 and add a 25% VAT (which I think is the one in Sweden), you get $313, making it almost a 1:1 conversion to your currency and Euros. It's actually not so usual nowadays.
