You were late

Late I am afraid, there were a small number under 300. Was going to order. Other half needed me for an urgent chat. Didnt expect they would all vanish in a few mins. Oh well! My 670 looks like it might see its 11th year after all.

Yeah, I amended my post when I realised I actually took a picture of the listings, with £265.99 being the lowest.

Seems crazy, right? But good reviews are very important. Nvidia know this, AMD don't. Although Navi24 was hard to get great review unless the price was better or someone a few months ago had said "we'll get slaughtered for this, can any one find some density memory chips so can release a 8GB of this?"

A 6600xt, at times 100% faster is also cheaper

Got one at launch for £179.99. Very good in my daily rig. Plays GTA 5 very well too.

Oof those prices were a tiny bit higher than I was expecting lol

That's what I was thinking too. It put it closer to AMD 6600 territory. I was hoping it would be a big chunk difference. Making it a clear buy

The high end are more than a 6600XT

I managed to get one for my nephew from here (£270). Checked out, before I tried the ITX one I wanted, but sold out here (and everywhere else). There may be some stock somewhere tomorrow, but no idea what time. At least I get my GT 710 back, so I can boot into my new PC without RDPing from my current one.

HUB in this review said anything over $370 USD and it's time to look to the 6600.

I think they are too busy creating their ebay listings

Substance · 27 Jan 2022 at 14:42

Nothing here, was hoping to grab one for my girlfriends kid. He's been stuck on a 1030 for a few months now after his card died.

Bill Truelove · 27 Jan 2022 at 14:44

Im genuinely stunned by how quick these went. We are far, far further than I thought from being back to normal.

I guess this means £199 6500xt's won't be around for much longer either

Harlequin · 27 Jan 2022 at 14:44

Maybe the prices are Nvidias way of supporting AMD with sales?

Hi there

To all the customers we have ID who are listing on ebay in attempt to scalp - your orders have been cancelled.
To all the customers who ordered one of each card - all your orders have been cancelled.

OcUK is not going to tolerate scalpers and people playing unfair.

All 3050's have vastly over-sold, more stock will arrive in February.

pagepack · 27 Jan 2022 at 14:50

I did say £350, settling at £399. Was I far out, missed the 2pm launch.

Very Fair play @Gibbo

Yes managed to get one (fingers crossed), only slightly more than I expected but Nephew will be happy as I've been promising him a card for 2 Birthdays and Christmas's now so was time to deliver.

We were selling at £265.99, this one for example:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/234395345017?hash=item36930d2079:g:96cAAOSw6zBh8q3h

People are even bidding on that and well that person won't be getting that card to scalp, so they best end their auction!

I'm guessing reporting Gibbo for posing competitor links wouldn't go over well
