30xx Series Founders Edition

It's an FE or nothing for me at the moment, the AIBs are still raking in the profit, and have no reason to lower prices while stock is scarce.

Worth keeping an eye on the RTX Status pages of popular retailers though, particularly for the RTX 3070.

You know the AIBs can’t realistically produce a 3080 of adequate quality for £649 at retail (inc VAT) and make any profit right?

They only made it at launch because nvidia were giving them a rebate to cover the review period.

How do you know that? The die itself and VRAM is unlikely to cost more than £300-400 to produce. One factor we don't know is the die yield rate, which I expect will improve over time.

Also, what about the RTX 3070s?

I wouldn't describe £650 for the RTX 3080 FE as affordable to most gamers.

The RTX 3060 TI / similar models will probably be the big sellers for gamers in 2021. AMD apparently has RX 6700 GPUs on the way in a few months, but they don't seem to be a priority.

700?! That's quite cheap for a 3080 no? If you see another at that price buy it for me and I'll be sure to reimburse you... Along with a line of about 4 million others

What were you after then?

He knows it because it's so blatant that Nvidia is charging AIBs not far off £649 for 3080 boards. What about 3070s? What does it have to do with £649 being affordable?

Agreed 700-750 is my breaking point.

Would happily pay 550 for a nice 3070 also.
 
wow that was brutal, took 5 minutes to pass the recaptcha, then screen loaded showing a price, but nothing was clickable to add to basket.

kept refreshing out of desperation to find a link to click, then after 2 minutes out of stock, so thats it for another month?
