£2489 for a MSI 3090

[VB6]

Your answer immediately falls down as soon as one random Johnson decides that they need a 3090 nomatter the cost.

Scalpers are sort of like Covid, herd immunity works up until there is a small group of contrarians who don't care about fighting it off.

Oh absolutely. I live in hope though.

Problem is if they sell them at reasonable price will just be sold on for more , sad times

so does that makes it acceptable to scalp their customers? last time i needed a GPU this site was my first choice but gotta admit this prices disappoint me quite a bit, i understand they cant sell GPUS at their original MSRP but 2.5k is just a bloody joke.

It's all we can do. Unless Nvidia and AMD are price fixing, at some point supply and demand will equalize. I'm just praying it is within my lifetime.

Hmm thing is it's the same everywhere

Maybe set little aside for loyal forum members

At least rich people have the option to buy a GPU without waiting. If I won the lottery I`d consider buying it myself. If it was priced normally then it would be sold already so at least it`s stock for those with cash.

I`m not going to let the situation wind me up anymore.

I had their top of the line Suprim 3090 model in my basket on a competitor site a couple of months ago at £1,700. Wish I had got it now and not bottled out.

I had the same but also bottled, I think it was £1650 with free delivery. Still, managed to get a 3090 FE directly from nvidia a few days later for £1399 so ended well.

£1400 for a 3090 fe starting to look like a bargain nowadays, specially with 3080s selling for that price on some competitors sites

All we need is for NVIDIA and AMD to increase production of Reference cards at MSRP, and all will be well in the world

 

[d_brennen]

I'd rather retailers price scalpers out until stock improves tbh. Not that I'd either buy at massively high price from here or from a scalper on eBay anyway. They'd be mad to sell at MSRP, though I'm sure at lease a few etailers have some awesome mining rigs!

Even if there were the wafers available, lots of other components and materials are scarce/more expensive.

Apparently wafer supply at TSMC is massively improved now, but it still could be months from sand to GPU in your hand, in the best of times.

And to think people were complaining the 2080 Ti at launch was way overpriced or even the 3090 FE, makes them look cheap right now

Caseking's prices (the owners of ocuk) are comical.

Yes folks over three THOUSAND euro, which in the case of the msi suprim works out to about £2750. And these are actually in stock, you would think to yourself "at those prices i'm not surprised", sad thing is they won't last.

 

[JediFragger]

They say stock is King but *damn* those are some high prices!! Guess they don't have a forum for people to moan their bags off at so they can do wtf they like

Bought my 3090 suprim for 1570 ... and I thought it was expensive at the time ...

same, 1570 just last week, these prices are comical.

It’s gonna be hard to not be tempted to sell my card now

 

[Freddie1980]

What a world we live in when shops are scalping too

How do you know MSI didn't charge the shop £2300?

 

[jupiter_man]

This shortage will last for a very long time, Coinbase just go to market, more miners and gamers have higher needs for GPU.

 

[jupiter_man]

Sickened me to see those types of prices even from retailers! I wouldn't be surprised if both were snapped up by the same buyer, no doubt end up on a marketplace soon.

I saw that too and now they are gone

 

[denigor777]

What amazes me is that there are people around who will apparently pay that much for a card that's only going to last them two years before they are going to want to replace it with a 4090.

The thing is, that we pay £1750 for a suprim x 3090 in November/December. And mine with it to the tune of £600 after 'leccy costs, so far. It's "cost" is now £1250 and dropping by £8 more every day.
