From what we have seen through this pandemic, they will all do that to ripp off customers collectively. I reckon they will price it from £2.5k to 3k+. Then make up excuses. Remember this is to play video games as well, hence the LHR , absolutely awful.

I really hope not. If all the big name retailers do that then I'm as good as done with PC gaming.

Prices are laughable. People may have paid through the nose to game during lockdown but as the country opens back up and you can do other things (summer too). All that retailers and the like of Nvidia are doing is killing PC gaming. fact. people will just find new hobbies. You can buy a nice mountain bike, a jetski and a drone and still have money left over for the price of one of those cards. absolutely stupid.

I am guessing it will be a case of 10 cards to go around on release which sell out instantly even at these prices?

I don't think that's true.

I wouldn't pay anymore than £800 for one of these especially when next gen will be out in less than a year.

Imagine what would be charged for next gen? 10k a card :cry:

If they get away with it this time they'll just keep on doing it every launch.

Be interesting to see the long term effects time will tell.

People need to understand there is more to life than gaming. I enjoy PC gaming. but yeah at these prices no chance. I'd rather do other stuff. Not to mention cloud gaming will soon replace the need for hardware.

I cant believe my eyes actually, cant be right surely ?

Nope, just another n00b idiot spouting yet more rubbish on here. Just because they want it to happen doesn't mean it will.

If all the UK retailers take this stance and absolutely take the **** out of us then the PC gaming industry may as well be dead. 2.5-3K+ for a GPU!!!!!

People don't care to be honest. most people only stay in a job for 2 to 3 years. As long as they make money in that time they don't care if the industry burns.

Oh my, that's from a UK retailer. Over 3k for an MSI GPU.

Well said mate. The PC Hardware industry is just screwing themselves over. I’m done with PC gaming, I’ve had enough. Moving on to other things I’m not spending £2000+ on a graphics card. I hope the whole industry collapses. They have only themselves to blame

Relevant for 1080P? Sure, though only to be considered as a budget card these days IMO.

And your point is? You can still game with them.

3060 hugely faster and superior in every way.

Except that you can't get them.

Grimfusion · 3 Jun 2021 at 08:41

MSRP, maybe with some MU but nothing like that hahahaa....nope.

Snowy · 3 Jun 2021 at 08:43

Do we know what time they go on sale?

+1.
im still looking, but chose to go out with my son later so will be avoid the launch as not interested any more until more sense is drummed into folk to stop buying at daft prices hence and fueling all this, plus the shortage doesnt help either

I heard it's 2pm but maybe someone else can confirm?

ssmacc · 3 Jun 2021 at 09:13

I'll be keeping my 2070s forever at those prices...
(Although, to be honest north of £500 is too much for a GPU (for me))
