2017 Prices vs 2021 Prices - for GPUs!!

[Mel_P]

Bought both of these cards in 2017 from OCUK and GAVE the 1030 away to a Charity rebuilder as I considered it "past its time"!

Now have both "reappeared" on OCUK site as "good" GPUs have disappeared.

Asus GeForce GTX 1050Ti Phoenix 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card WAS £124.99; NOW £200

Asus GeForce GT 1030 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card WAS 2017 - £57.49; NOW £90

PC COMPONENT WORLDS GONE MAD

supply and demand, basic world logic.

BUT who is demanding a GT 1030 - most CPU with graphics included chips have better performance?
I am still using the 1050Ti in one PC but its pretty borderline in performance terms.

Inflation has also gone mad in the last 3 - 4 years with all the "quantatative easing" etc. I hear the dollar lost over 18% just since October 2020 ...

But that doesn't excuse selling "obsolete" GPUs?
(PS typo - should say "the 1050" not "10e 1050" - finger trouble)

I really missed the boat on upgrading.

I think a lot of us feel like that - I am going to wait till "the boat comes back"!
