I would love to buy a 3060 Ti for £369 that is amazing price/perf. Regret selling my 1080 Ti for £320 I think it was last year. Ah well will need to stick with my 980 Ti for now..

YES THEY ARE GREEDY!!!! A LOT!!!!
Always excuse is - nVIDIA and AMD put the prices up pr suppliers put prices up because of demand.... lets think for a second.
At the moment / last couple months/ there are shortage of Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles right and demand for these is not lower than any GPU.... BUT every retail store or website sell them on Retail price which is 349-PS5 Digital/449-PS5 Disk/449-Xbox Series X.
So why the flip this is different with GPU's ?!?!? - because retailers are GREEDY that's why and any excuse is not acceptable period....
Also because retailers are SCALPERS here - they will try to steal every penny from your pocket

Probably i will get banned for this but this is the truth.
Good luck OCUK!

There’s a real reputational risk for OCUK over this. Things need to change.

JediFragger · 21 Mar 2021 at 20:01

Agreed, they need to price at £3k+ from now on.

Retailers should be forced to display msrp on their products

I have bought RX 6800 XT for £749.99 3 days ago

Meanwhile OCUK price is miles off, intentionally putting the prices up.

Unfortunately comapnies are alowed to do what they want... abuse the demand and be greedy.

Couldn’t agree more. Leaves a bitter taste in your mouth.

The prices of 2060's on OCUK atm is an utter joke. I was in the process of filling up my basket for a new build but seeing that is making me want to go elsewhere, and I will. £559.99 for a 2060 OC! Congratulations Overclockers on scalping your way out of a customer.

The crazy thing is relative to other retailers and Bay for a new 2060, OCUK Palit model is very competitively priced for the current UK market at £400. Which is just mind blowing.

When I heard that there was to be a resurgence of 2060's being distributed by Nvidia I was quite excited, now not so much!

wow and here I am desperately trying for the chance, the opportunity, to pay £540 for a 3060ti. A founders edition would be a amazing but I doubt that's happening. I'm a sucker

MSRP for 6800 is 529.99 / 6800XT is 599.99 / 6900XT is 1099.99 - everything above that is ripoff and scalping from retailer side.

OFFICIAL QUESTION FOR OCUK!!!!!! - WHY OTHER STORES DO NOT SCALP AND INFLATE PRICES OF PS5 AND XBOX SERIES X - which have same demand as GPU's and same time WHY EVERY STORE INFLATE THE PRICES OF GPU's and COMPUTER PARTS including YOU?
Simple question - PLEASE answer that with genuine answer - we do not need excuses any more, just the truth - at least have some dignity and show some respect to your clients.

Your logic doesn't make sense. If every retailer (OCUK or otherwise) is raising prices on GPUs, and no retailer is raising prices on XBox/PS5, that's pretty much proof that the problem is coming from suppliers. Otherwise, "greedy" retailers would be jacking up prices on everything, not just GPUs

How this is a proof for supplier problem? - it will be a proof if they ramp up the prices of PS5 and Xbox Series X too.
For now only retailers are responsible for this - no clarity about anything - if they want to protect their brand - simple - they can go out and tell and show to all their customers - prices that they buy the product and profit margin.
There is nothing to hide - this is business everybody knows that the business makes profit, BUT one is normal profit and other is RIPOFF your customers.
So they play as a victim and same time charge you 2499 pounds for RTX 3090

They got 5 to 15% profit from MSRP price of the product depends on the agreement , so in times like this OCUK and other wants to fill up bank accounts

with statement - its not from us... believe us ... suppliers ramp up prices ... we are honest

I think you will find that Sony and Microsoft will not allow the big retailers to scalp if they want keep being supplied.
Have a look at CEX for scalping, I could have sold my Series X for a £100 profit in December to them and they were selling for £650 and higher for PS5.

Apart from Nvidia founders models the Discord I joined looking for a card has seen prices raising every week right across Europe for the last two months.

Youtubers have been reporting manufacturers putting up prices so its a bit more complicated than just retailers scalping although there may be an element of charge what the market will bear.
