I think doing it one of is not disgusting. Also I sold to a business and not an individual. Now if I kept buying it and selling over and over like a scalper then you may have a point. If I was that way inclined I would have not cancelled my pre order here at ocuk which was very low number in the queue once I secured my fe. Could have easily flipped that for a couple of hundred profit back then
I meant disgusting in the sense that anyone would pay so much for a 3080 considering the performance it offers.I think doing it one of is not disgusting.

Fair enough. I reckon the same can be said about the 3090, 6900XT and Titan cards at their rrp personally.
I think the 6900 XT RRP is okay, trouble is buying one at that price only way via AMD store and they are not shipping to UK atm.
It's a shame AMD didn't have a better handle on their stock and pricing situation but alas, that is what happens when you have to supply 80% of your hardware to the consoles and **** all control or rather a **** poor site which allowed "bots" to easily get the cards for MSRP....
Yeah, I really want to play Dying Light 2 also. That and Bloodlines 2. But both got delayed many times and the Dying Light 2 announcement never happened until a few days after I sold. Not that it would have made a difference, not turning my nose up to a four figure profit over one game*Strokes £650 3080* (well actually technically it was only about £320 after I sold the vega 56, a 290 and COD on)
Was tempted to sell the 3080 to cex at those crazy prices but money would have just sat in the bank doing nothing else, that and been some epic games so far with more to come later in the year, mainly dying light 2.... Personally can't see myself upgrading for about another 2 years, don't mind when the time comes to having to turn down a couple of settings to maintain 60+ fps, but with dlss being added to more games and engines these days and whatever the "open source" solution happens to be, I can see nvidia and amd cards having more/better longevity going forward.

I will probably pick up some kind of temp card to play it if at the time I get the urge. It is 6 months away after all.
To be fair if I had a bunch of games I wanted to play still I may have kept it, but after finishing Resident Evil Village there was not much left.
Yeah I really enjoyed Dying Light. I may actually replay it again at some point before the release of Dying Light 2. From the way they are describing it it sounds like it would be much better. But I am keeping my expectations in check after Cyberpunk 2077 which is a game I enjoyed but ultimately looking back failed to match my expectations.
Even a 12GB 3060 TI/6700 XT would be an upgrade!Get the 16Gb cards @TNA and you should be rid of this issue!

Hehe
I would grab a 6700 XT in a heart beat if they were available at MSRP. Would be a nice upgrade over the RX 580 in my partners machine. Would suit the 165hz Freesync 2 1440p monitor for that PC too. Although it is meant to do Gsync also, but I have never tried that.
Thing is by the time a 6700 XT can be had at MSRP we won't be too far away from next gen cards.
Oh you!!Hehe, just playing.
Time to come back to the dark side TNA.
But in other news I've just had a nice cash windfall, so upgraded my 3080 for a 6700 XT Merc.
UE5 seems to be doing quite well with its usage and that's before optimisation. What do you see using more VRAM in the next 1-2 years?
What do you consider the average amount of VRAM to be today and why would it explode in the next 1-2 years? There are a lot of people still using 1060 level hardware according to Steam's hardware survey.
I do expect to upgrade to Lovelace/RDNA3 due to lack of GPU grunt mostly centred around raytracing. That also means that the 3090 owners will also have to upgrade, which is why I settled for a £720 3080
Sadly, RDNA2 cards are already lacking today due to the budgets placed by consoles. Lumen running software rendering looks good, but can't touch hardware raytracing. And of course there is the Tensor backed DLSS that RDNA2 has still to compete with as we approach 8months since launch.
