** NVIDIA RTX 30 SERIES NOW ONLINE AT OVERCLOCKERS UK (3090 / 3080 / 3070) **

[Pauli_pierre]

Holy yep I have just seen it, can’t believe I missed that. Hopefully more soon then if they are getting stock a mere week after the launch.

I'm sorry but if you are sitting actually looking a about instead of just joining discord and getting a notification that's you fault lol.

Oh believe me man, I did join a discord channel, and spent quite a bit of time on Google trying to find even more channels. I also wasted a couple of hours looking for browser add ons that would automatically check pages, figured out how these add ons worked and then tested them. After all of that I only wish I could have spent £600 sooner so I didn't need to invest my time doing such things. I could have spent my day chilling outside or something, which I've at least been able to do today.

Can anyone explain why the RRP of a Asus Dual-RTX3070-8G is £469 on the nvidia site, £489 at one competitor, and £540 on OcUK?

It's not the only card that has a huge price premium on it?

I love OcUK, have used them pretty exclusively for years, but this seems very untypical - what's the story?

 

[Duke]

£50-70 tax to pre-order something.. no thanks. Going to wait it out and wait for the real prices.

I got one of the FE 3070s yesterday. As far as I know, they were available for about 2 minutes.

The RRP for the Anus isn't £469, as its a custom card, and Nvidia don't sell them, so you couldn't have seen it on their site for that price, as they only sell their reference cards, which are £469, the custom cards, are always more expensive than the reference ones, and its nothing new, as its always been like that

The Gigabyte Eagle none-OC version is supposed to be cheaper than the founders edition in 3070, 3080 and 3090 models. All the twin fan not cards with no factory overclock are also supposed to be cheaper except the Zotac which is supposed to be the same. The Founders cards are not a "basic" version at all, people make that mistake a lot. The Nvidia reference design is the basic version, then you have the Founders which is Nvidia's custom PCB version of the card alongside all the other big PCB (triple fan) custom variants from the other manufacturers.

The Nvidia shop has all the RRP prices direct from the manufacturers.

 

[LoadsaMoney]

Founders, is just their new name for their reference cards.

 

[MrPils]

Founders, is just their new name for their reference cards.

No the reference card is the reference pcb they release to AIBs for building the reference board based cards. They're allowed to customise it a little, all standard height cards are based on the reference PCB. That's why there's a reference 30 series waterblock which doesn't fit the founders. The founders is an Nvidia custom pcb. No AIB has access to the founders PCB, its Nvidia only because its their own custom board.

 

[FoxEye]

How much...?

I paid £649 for an 3080 FE today.

If people are paying £600 for a 3070 the world really has gone mad

Greed pure and simple

 

[Muller1989]

Anybody else had any update on cards that were in stock last week?

I went for a Zotac OC as it was one of the few that works in the NZXT H1 case. Apparently the airflow doesn't work with the founders very well?

I'll have Anus 3070 Dual engrained in my brain now.

 

[Leanne Hedges]

Ive ordered the Asus rog strix OC 3070 was 19 then friday im 2nd. Hoping to receive this soon

Because OC UK is the most expensive retailer in UK. Very sad indeed :/

Only since the germans took over.

When @Gibbo used to post we all knew that a bargain was coming.
Not so much now.

 

[Darren_uk]

Was going for the "Palit 3070 Gamerock 8GB* £469 at first now gone up in Price 3 times standing at £559.99 by £90
Now the AMD GPUs with 16gb coming I will wait on & see.

 

[JediFragger]

When @Gibbo used to post we all knew that a bargain was coming.

Nope, that indicated stock of a particular product had landed in the warehouse and a pyramid was being built

Does feel like the manufacturers have stamped the fun out of OcUK, which is a little sad

 

[SDK^]

. Then I'm not in some lottery of if I picked the right card or not, getting frustrated by a lack of communication and comments from others who ordered after me getting cards. It's either that, or complete transparency on all orders and stock situations (even as they change) to let us make our own decisions.

I agree with this.
When placing the pre-order customers have no idea if they are going for a card which will flow through the supply channel or one which is on hold for months.

I got lucky with my 3070, going for the x3, but if I chose the 2x or 4x I’d be waiting a long time.

When ordering a car with a long lead time the sale person will alert you of models with a similar spec, which are available straight away. Up to you if you take it or decide to wait. This is providing the customer with a value shopping experience.

As far as I can tell, judging by the comments posted on here, the only customer value OcUK are providing is a middle man postal service and a queue update.

Yes at a good price...

How far OCUK have fallen.
Now the other shop is taking over.

 

[gpuerrilla]

It is a shame. I used to shop at other retailers then gradually came to OcUK as their prices got better. I will even take a small bump in price for the better service and the forums on offer, but the way the nvidia release has played out is pretty poor. I thought they had major supply contacts and up there with the UK clout, it seems to make little difference in the current climate.

Each vendor for the GPU's should have a rep on here by now, it makes the world of difference. Oh well, gonna see how the AMD 6000 series pans out now before judging any further.
