Honestly, I wouldn't. Sorry to say, but all noises coming from GB was that there's no more on the horizon. That production run isn't an indication of a change of policy. They'll still, no doubt, continue to concentrate on higher priced units.

I'm guessing that's going to be the same with all the other brands too?
Simply guessing, I'd say so.
If we use the Strix non-OC as an example, it costs Asus the same price to make it and unless the GPUs won't hit the reported boost clocks for the OC, why wouldn't they sell them all as OC?
Since most 3080 GPUs will top 1900Mhz easily...there's no real pressure on them to provide non-OC

I’m 11 for the strix that sucks I should cancel as I was soo close lol
Oof, 24 regular TUF in 3 months...
Still kicking myself I spent an extra ten minutes debating whether to go through my order all that time ago! 26th on last update at least, maybe I'll be within the amount of the next drop.
Absolutely no sign of any more currently, I take it?

Don't pay the extortionate prices they're trying to charge you for them mate, it's not an 800 quid card
it WASN'T an £800 card but when cost prices are being driven north of £600 what are we, as resellers, supposed to do?
the £800 card that you refer to...here are the latest cost prices for an Asrock card that we're selling at exactly that price.
"EVGA Black 107x backorders, 5 shipped! (all should consider cancelling)"
there's absolutely nothing on the horizon

Not exactly easy to buy a 6700xt when you need a nvidia card cause of a Gsync monitor. For me to buy a 6700xt which I can do would require me to purchase a new monitor
It's still a rip off in terms of the performance you're getting for the price albeit not your fault or much you can do about it though.it WASN'T an £800 card but when cost prices are being driven north of £600 what are we, as resellers, supposed to do?

That's the downside of buying a product that locks you in to a certain brand.

It's worth what people are prepared to pay for it and the prices reflect that. It's not just the cost of the card. Factor in length of wait, sitting for months with a new machine running an old GPU, how keen you are to play games on higher setting, How long are you prepared to go on waiting for something which may never come before thinking stuff it, I'll compromise and try something else that is available.
All that's harder to put a price on, but it has a price.
As the old saying goes, a not-quite-as-good-as-a-RTX3080 gpu in your tower, is worth two listed on a website with no Buy Now button.
Someone Manually has to do all that. That's Crazy, no wonder they needed a 2-week break.The chap who sends all the emails has been off for two weeks, so no emails, no stock anyway but should be back to abnormal this week!
Well here's hoping there doing well.

You're right it isn't, but OC are selling it for 750ish maybe 740 to 799, didn't the card launch at 499 or 599? It isn't even a 640 card, it's one of the few cards on OC and it's not worth anywhere near the price it's listed for, you can say that for every card but the fact that there are a fair amount of cards and barely any selling can tell you people know they ain't worth that amountit WASN'T an £800 card but when cost prices are being driven north of £600 what are we, as resellers, supposed to do?
the £800 card that you refer to...here are the latest cost prices for an Asrock card that we're selling at exactly that price.
I return you to my original question. That's our cost, you do the maths and don't forget VAT...factor in 3% transaction fee whist you are at it (before we get to staff, electricity, business rates, rent), at £799.99 inc VAT are we ripping you off? no? didn't think so, yet we get targeted with the hate, not AMD, not Asrock.
Is this cost price due to Asrock's poor manufacturing efficiency? higher component costs? higher shipping costs? greed on their part? or all of the above? Frankly speaking, I don't know, but as a reseller in a market where we can't afford to turn away stock because having nothing to sell is the worst possible situation, I ask again, what are we supposed to do?
Similar scenario here: if I needed to 'just power games' I would have hunted an AMD card by now...but I'd lose an actually good hardware encoder (because NVENC just wipes the floor with AMF), GPU-handled AI noise cancellation, studio drivers for improved video editing on consumer-grade GPUs and just so much stuff that nvidia actually works with in the rest of my use-case scenario.

I keep hearing this here but competitors sites do not price as high as OC, I can't be certain but when the 3070ti launched every site I looked at other than OC had most cards at MSRP, I came over here and suddenly 1350 or around there, is OC getting some Tax that everyone else isn't? Umm

Well I am 45 in the queue for the 3080 strixx OC, I might be lower but the last update made me a bit worried
