I love how the exchange rate is always touted as the reason for price rises, yet when the exchange rate improves the prices never fall back down as quickly as they went up (if they even come down at all).
Custom cards have always more expensive than the reference ones.

You do realise that the 3080 looked reasonably priced on nvidia site but couldn't be bought by 99.9% of people.
And several AIB cards with good coolers were RRP at launch (not for long though...)You do realise that the 3080 looked reasonably priced on nvidia site but couldn't be bought by 99.9% of people.
Dunno what articles you were reading, but 3070 was always advertised as being £450 minimum, (3080 £650) so anywhere saying anything else was trolling. (Also 1070 was £400 and there’s no way 3070 was gonna be cheaper).
Yeah, I remember that also, was awesome getting a 1ghz cpu. After that I got the Barton 1.4GHz that overclocked well. I would always go AMD and never got intel until core2duo came out. AMD had lost the plot with pricing at that point.it was my first rig, back in 98/99ish then we moved up to an Athlon 1400, I remember the feeling of breaking the 1ghz barrier, I felt like a champ!

I cant remember either but I distinctly remember reading 3070 would be 300~ or maybe even less and people were going barmy about itDunno what articles you were reading, but 3070 was always advertised as being £450 minimum, (3080 £650) so anywhere saying anything else was trolling.

The 3080 cards were still increasing in price on here minutes before and after sales went live. Saw a few people mentioning they had more money come out than they had invoiced as someone hit the increase button a second before it was purchased.
Expect the same thing to happen with the rest of the Ampwhere tiers.

Yea but the reason given for that was exchange rate differences between 1st batch of cards (bought when £ was stronger) and subsequent batches (bought when £ was weaker).
Right now, the £ is at a 6-week high (£1=$1.31) yet prices are still going up, so I’m definitely not buying the “exchange rate” excuse any more cos they clearly don’t bring prices back down when the £ is performing well..
