3060Ti

Ignore what it's called, that's just marketing guff. The fact is this card offers the best price/performance ratio ever. How can that possibility be described as 'too expensive'?

Then AMD launches the RX 6700 range, offering better price / performance?

GTX 560Ti launched at £200 with instock products at £230 - which translates to £245 / £282 in 2020 money.

However, tech costs have rocketed since 40nm (just look at TSMC and the money they have thrown at 7nm - around $15 Billion up to Q4 2019 - https://www.tsmc.com/uploadfile/ir/quarterly/2019/3d36C/E/TSMC 3Q19 transcript.pdf). That cost is passed along to the customer - Nvidia , AMD, Apple et al - who then pass it along to IHV`s along with mark up , when then sell to wholesalers etc etc; and finally the demand from everyone well its capitalism 101.

1440p is outselling 1080p. You must have missed that so I'll repeat it, just for you.

1080p is a declining market. 1440p is a growing market. 4K is a growing market.

Also the 3060Ti is going to struggle on a high refresh 1080p as it is on a 1440p.

Just look at the charts. Even cards like the 3080 can't maintain 100+ FPS at 1080p in all games.

No citation on any of your claims, then trolling. Shhhh you can go away now. Steam survey has proven you wrong.

I'm not saying it's cheap in absolute terms, £400 is a lot of money to pay for playing games! But, this card offers significantly more performance than £400 has ever bought before.

bah the new consoles are looking better than ever, they give a lot of oomph for the 500 quid. cant buy a pc that can patch a ps5 for 500 quid. but i guess they rip you on the games and claw it back somehow.

too expensive, this sits on the line where my 560ti sat and that cost around £180 ish. so anything **60ti should be 200 or less.

Released as a $250 card, with inflation would be ~$320 today. Bigger die, more complex and expensive process node, 8X the memory, lots of extra transistors for DLSS, Ray tracing etc. The MRSP of $399 isn't all that big of a lift. Without the extra features (transistors) it's likely the card would be much closer to $320. And back then, all it got you was around 30fps in BF3 @ 1080p

Nothing* to stop people spending that much if they want a mid ranged card. Bought a 5500XT for a PC build and it runs everything I've tried at 1080p, and will run Doom at 4k on fairly high settings using the AMD SuperResolution feature to downsample it to 1080p.
This 3060ti (at the MSRP) looks to offer huge performance for the cost, a card that can run many high end games at 4k at a reasonable framerate if you drop some settings and likely cope with 1440p gaming for a few years. It's a good place to be.... If there is actually stock.

* Of course there is the small matter that finding any cards in stock right now is proving difficult... Sigh.
 
looking at the reviews iv seen this looks like a great card to have for the kinda games I tend to mostly play. But the price is worrying if it was only £40 cheaper then a 3070.. I could hold out for the 3070TI but.. if and when that comes no idea how much that be..
 
Anyone tell me if there is a purchase limit with 30 series on OCUK? Some competitors limit it to one unit per order. Don't name them just wonder if it's possible to buy more than one at a time in the UK.

It's too expensive if people don't want to pay that much for whatever performance it offers :p

A lot of people want to spend £200-£300.

And they expect a mid-range part for that money.

Currently, AMD and nV say, "Nah. We don't get out of bed for less than £500!" Ignoring the phony RRP prices that nobody can actually buy at.

People are buying the FE at release price on a weekly basis so how are they phony :confused:

RRP used to mean something tho :p

Nowadays, not so much. 3060 Ti RRP of $399 and actual retail price of £500 :p

There are reasons why we suffer more in the UK, but knowing them doesn't make it an easier pill to swallow :p

We're going to be the new Oz, paying 1.5 - 2x the price the rest of the world pays.
 
I think I'm gonna try and get one tomorrow at £400 or less. I should wait for the RX6700/6700XT before deciding, but being able to play Cyberpunk on my week off at xmas at max 1440p is too tempting. I'm coming from an RX480 and I won't play the game on that. I'd expect the 6700XT to be more expensive and the 6700 the same or slightly cheaper. I doubt there'll be much difference in performance when taking price into consideration.

Not wanting to get into a conversation about what is "mid-range" and what is "low-end" (been there, done that), if the best £300 gets you is a 5500XT, then you have to wonder why you're paying that much when an XSX is £450 and will perform a lot better.
