It’ll be £2.8K next week. Make sure you keep on top of it.

That is not the card breaking the records

This is the one for that

They look very similar though.

You are right, I just saw the LCD screen on there and immediately assumed what's with the LCD trend doing on.

Its because consoles are sold at a loss, if they weren't this would be a different conversation - a desktop gpu is never sold at a loss and on average they sold with 60% profit across the value chain - where as literally consoles right now are sold at a loss, Sony and MS bleed cash from their books each time someone walks into a store and buys one

If consoles were priced like GPUs right now (cost+60%) the PS5 would have an rrp of $999 instead of $499 but the consoles are currently sold at cost-20%

they are indeed sold at a loss for a short period, look at vega for example. gibbo actually confirmed that amd offered rebates for them for the first couple of hundred where sold like this.

this card is a price tester, simple as that. next gen this price will become more normal if people buy them.

Incorrect. It is almost, but not quite £2.7k. I have corrected the title to satisfy anyone's delicate pricing accuracy sensibilities.

Pffffffft £3k

You guys are lucky Gibbo goes so easy on you, I'd have your pants down with £2k+ minimum 3090's and £1.5k+ 6900XT's!

 

[Freddie1980]

Morons or people that are certifiable maybe.

Bolt the doors and nail your windows shut, they've all sold out!

 

[Jay85]

£1400 6900XT's in stock too! Spoilt for choice at the mo lol

Almost makes my 3090 seem a bargain at £1500

 

[jaybee]

That's such an incredible feature for a £2.7K GPU.

lmao

Not bothered about the price, it's the performance that counts.

Late time a £2700 card was available I bought 2 for SLI and then found out the Titan V does not do mGPU lol.

 

[donpyro]

WTF! for that price i can buy a second hand r6 lol

 

[Darujhistan]

It begs the question that if these were 4 grand would they still sell?

I remember that, was that not volta GPU's kaap, thing is its not worth £2700 thats 2 X 3090fe and in sli will fry the Hoff although not supported in games in bench's they are. plus 500w draw is pushing it. you going for 2 kaap in sli?

It was the Volta Titan V, fantastic cards, I still have one and for looks, size and performance it is still very good.

I already have 2 x FE 3090s, I have not bothered to SLI them.

I am not sure it would be a good idea to buy a top tier 3090 ATM as I think NVidia have an Ampere Titan lurking in the shadows which is going to turn up at some point (NVidia ATM have a problem, the 6900 XT is beating the 3090 in some situations).
