This, companies need to line their pockets at the end of the day or they won't stay a float or grow. No one will like it and plenty will talk about it but high prices are gonna be a thing from now on unless something major changes.
Overlockers are perfectly entitled to ask for a 20% margin by raising prices to 2.3k just as I’m entitled to look elsewhere :p

Well, only if a lot of people pay the prices, right? If only a few gamers here and there pay them then NVidia is going to have a huge problem.

So was the idea of a GPU costing a £1000+ just 5yrs ago but look where we are, the FE cards won't approach close to those prices but AIBs certainly will.
Pricing is not final and the ASUS cards are looking like the most expensive outliers. Early pricing showing £1700-1900 covers most of the AIB offerings.

Where you get £3,000 from I do not know. But if you're looking at last-gen scalper pricing and extrapolating from that, don't. There is no GPU mining anymore, especially not in the UK. There is no pandemic fuelling demand with excess home time to wile away. There is PLENTY of stock coming into retailers this time round. And there is a saturated marketplace where a hundred thousand cheap 30-series cards are already sitting in retail warehouses unwanted. It's just not the same situation at all.

If the ASUS cards come out at those prices they won't sell, it's that simple. Lots of stock of other AIBs and the FEs that are hundreds of pounds cheaper and certainly no worse from a performance point of view.

oh i just saw someone willing to buy power cables for 25 GBP.. lets just drop the price argument already, pc gamers are milch animals :D
Personally id happily pay £25 for a nice sleeved cable that is all in one with no adaptors ... as all cards are using the new connector you have a few options , use the supplied adaptor that looks a bit crap , buy a ready made cable from psu manufacture for £20 , buy a nice sleeved version for £25 , buy a new psu for £250 + :cry:
