Still searching. I even started checking used cards but would not like to risk spending 450-500£ on used card.
I agree, quite shocking from OC that actually some went to £900... disappointing really from them, especially if one was after an upgrade.
Said that and seen the ridiculous pointless prices of RTX cards, even being able to afford a bunch but really is a joke under all point of views, I will stick with my current 10series. At least I am glad to see Nvidia stock being hit hard, this is the most pointless launch I can remember in the last few years. Even without competition is ridiculous to try to scam customers, supply and demand are still meeting and here they are trying to have a huge producer surplus by a lot.
Shame for site like OC as less people will be attracted by PC Gaming as once again is seen as overly-expensive when you can play just fine on a console considered the colossal gap in prices we have compared with the last few years.
I asked @Gibbo to drop the price of the 1080ti Gigabyte OC to £579 he did this, I messed up the order as I couldn’t log into the shop...I then asked him again and the guy dropped the price for about hour...I purchased then.
Dude OcUK have been awesome on the 1080ti and now the 2080 ti Is out and 1080ti is still desirable @Gibbo warned of the price rise...they are running a business and Gibbo looked after the forum members with grace.
there is plenty of 1080tis for sale, I expect your price expectations are simply too low.
If I were to sell my 1080ti today it would likely be more then I paid for it, simply because the market value has gone up for the cards.
Nope.
You were all warned when I did the Gigabyte Black OC at £579, that was the lowest and it would only go up from that point on, some choice not to believe this, they were wrong, those cards are now £900 and still selling.
1080 and 1080Ti is EOL, we have lots of stock but the demand is huge for it so we now simply charge more to slow down the sales as not many places have 1080Ti any more, but OcUK still has several models in stock and hence why sales are so strong even at high prices.
There is only one 1080Ti still sub £600 and thats a 1080Ti MIni at a competitor, its a deal we did not take because it was a Mini and to sell with profit we would need to sell at above £579, so to us it made little sense, I see the competitor is already selling with no profit, no doubt because they had them in stock for over 30 days so they need to move it because aged stock and turn in to cash, at £560 its an OK buy so I suggest going for that as we won't be reducing our prices to anywhere near that, but in fairness our cards are not Mini cards but full blown OC cards.
Hey Gibbo
Is the same happening with the Vega 64 as they seem to have shot up, still kicking myself for not picking up the Strix Vega 64 for £410 when I had the chance!
i guess so but in all honesty shouldn't a card released over 2 years ago be available for a lot less then it is being touted for...c'mon lets get real here how pretty much 99.9% of any used or second hand market works is that when a newer model arrives the older model is supposed to lose value simply because it has less everyting overall in the way of specs,but because the listed price for the newer cards is ridiculously high this is adding even more value to the older generation and considering that the newer cards are also having quite a few teething problems as well there is an even bigger demand for the older gen so whatever nvidias plan is it's seemingly backfiring a little due to the higher demand for a card they have decided to stop producing...where does this leave your average consumer up certain creeks without a paddle and nobody seems to give a rats....it's outrageous
Yes, we have some Gigabyte at £399 left.
Nope.
