Which one? RTX 2070 Super model under £600

[DampCat]

I remember people telling me in December 2019 I be mad to buy a new 2000 series GPU as the 3000 series was being released very soon

5 months later and there now saying wait 6 months

This forum will always tell you to wait. You will never upgrade.

If you can wait 6 months you will get rtx 2080ti performance for that money.

*If* the new cards are even released this year, given the whole global pandemic/lockdown thing we're under at the moment, and *if* the currencies of the various countries don't fluctuate too much (they are likely to be all over the place) then *maybe* you'll get 2080Ti performance out of a 3070... but maybe not, a 1080Ti is still faster than a 2070S (though is missing the RTX capability).

In the mean time, you could be enjoying gaming for at least six months using your new shiny card.

a 1080Ti is still faster than a 2070S (though is missing the RTX capability).

Actually I've noticed the 2070 Super is as fast, if not faster now in many games @ 1080p and 1440p.
And when DLSS v2 is implemented in more games the 2070 Super will pull away even more.

But I know that I would have buyers remorse if I upgraded my 1080ti to an 2070S now at this time.
The sensible option is to save the cash and wait it out for the 3070 to drop.

To be fair they don’t need much of an excuse to put prices up. Lowering them on the other hand..

This is true, any situation is manipulated into an excuse raise prices.

When it comes to price you need to shop 'around' as well, you literally can save a ton of cash by doing so.

BTW I spotted the EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8GB KO (08G-P4-2072-KR) listed for £416 (excl shipping).

Found it - this is excl shipping at 40 quid and VAT - probably also have import charges as well, making it more expensive that some of the higher clocked EVGA 2070 super.

Please could you trust me where this was from?

Think its excluding VAT from USA.

Whilst true, I think on this occasion we're talking a near-term step change in GPU price / performance from RDNA2 and Ampere, forced by competition from both consoles and each other.

Is it not 25% import tax from outwith the EU still?

Used to be a while back...worked as a postie...will never forget the local guy who got a £200 surcharge on an £800 computer from Israel

If i remember right its only if its over £18 value though.

From my understanding yes.
