When the Gpu's prices will go down ?

yup you have no clue at all about crypto and simply jumping on the `blame the miners herp derp` bandwagon. You really are delusional if you think that scalping didnt play a massive part when demand massively outstripped supply ; as it will again by xmas with the 4000 series, which will be unobtanium. Where is the flood of gpu`s then? (heres a clue, it doesnt exist) or is it simply that supply now outstrips demand and msrp has been reached and yourself like the other scalpers - has made their money and are waiting for the next round.

When did I ever indicate that I am scalper? Stop calling me that please. Did scalpers leave you with such trauma on your quest to buy GPUs for mining that you see them all around you?

I hate scalpers but now that I think about it I take some pleasure that they fleeced miners who are at the bottom of the cesspool.
 
Looking at what we now know about Intel's attempts (still not a lit - they are being very tight-lipped / or embarrassed) I doubt they are going to help prices.

Arc A770M Beats GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile, According to Intel

Fear the alchemists

Posted on the Intel Arc thread about that,

Intel Arc series unveiled with the Alchemist dGPU to arrive in Q1 2022

Yeah but that's because the GPU comes free with the CPU. It's not a graphics card. They didn't choose Intel because of the graphics. Yes the F series is a little bit cheaper but when people buy an off the shelf PC or laptop, it's normal Intel. You're including office computers in those...

and it doesn't look good at all, so cannot it putting much downward pressure on prices.
 
Indeed after the recent benchmarks I can't see the top ARC being faster than a 3060 and by the end of 2022 that it might be available it will be outperformed by a 4050.
 
Just sold my 1080 on the auction site for £220 having bought the 3070 last week for £390. It's a transaction that may or may not stand the test of time but overall I'm happy with the trade.
 
I was waiting for 4000 series but to be honest, I think I am going to plump now. Been trying to figure out why my performance on modded skyrim in VR is so poor and the technical response that came back is that my GPU is the equivalent of a 'potato' for running it :-) (1660 - not the super version). Paired with an i5-6600k it's okay I suppose. The 1660 was actually an upgrade I put in to replace the 960 4gb that came with it. I reckon I've done okay getting nearly 8 years from the rig. The idea of waiting 12-15 months for a 4070 doesn't appeal and a 6800xt or a 3080 now vs 'something else in the future' when I'm 47 and have limited time for gaming anyway? So, I'm on the hunt for parts as we speak.
 
Check out the latest HU for a nice roundup. If you know what your want to spend or have a particular sku in mind it may help your decision.

Well OcUK has some good deals at the moment on:

6900 XT @ £899
6800 XT @ £659
6800 @ £599

3080 12G @ £799
3080 10G @ £699
3070Ti @ £629
3070 @ £529
3060Ti @ £449
3060 @ £329


Will prices come down further? I expect so the above is the best we can do right now, but I've been pushing for better this is just the best we have got so far, nothing to say that next month I won't be able to trim these another £30-50, but that is the unknown and the gamble.
 
the 3070 still available from nvidia, either they had a shed lot of left over mining, i mean stock for gamers :cry: :cry: or no one is buying at 469 for a 3070 is a decent price in current market

Thanks @Gibbo - as I've got to get an entire new rig (although might salvage my NvME SSD to save a bit) the GPU can be bought last (next month) to give myself the best deal I can. Have been eyeing up the 6800xt as the 16gb ram is quite appealing.

At present the 6800 XT is our best seller, guess quite a lot of other people think the same because of 16G of RAM, but I can tell you Gigabyte have sold out, we have 200 more en-route and once they are gone that is the end of that deal, now of course another AMD partner might do a similar deal, but keep an eye on it.

3080 10G is next best seller, simply has always been the case that it sells in most volume.
 
Got me a EVGA 3090 Ti FTW3 from the Bay, brand new sealed and it has 2yr 11 months left on the warranty at a very good price, that's me set for a while.
