980 is a mates card. I just borrowed it. Might see if a 5600XT is a better option then. I had a Vega 64 before the 980 and loved the Chill option on the AMD software.

Not a mission getting one for that price though...
True, but if you're patient and can wait a few weeks they'll be plenty around.
People thought the same about the 3080....

Probably because the 3060ti only got announced today and can't be bought yet, whilst the 2070 supers and co have been getting sold for the past few days! I'd been eyeballing one at £300, but if I can nab a 3060ti for £370 I know where my money is going!
With it being a more mainstream part I'm sure supply won't be as bad as the higher end cards.
At this point i think the scalpers and bots are targeting just about anything new =/
It was inevitable that Nvidia would be releasing lower end parts at some point in the not so distant future and given the performance boosts we've seen in the new 30xx range it was pretty much guaranteed that any mid range part was going to compete favourably with last gens top cards, but yeah granted if people desperately needed a card fair enough. I'm sure there's probably a few that are kicking themselves after todays announcement though. Having said that a 1080ti sold today for 300 quid, obviously the buyer doesn't frequent these forums....

Cheapest 3060ti on overclockers £389.99, not bad.
Alongside cheap GPUs and old Intel CPUs. And they're playing CS:GO, DOTA2, etc.
Are these people really the target market for a £400 GPU? For most of them, the card is going to be worth more than their entire current rig.

Click on the card, price is at the bottom.
Anything less than a 3070 would be too small a jump, though honestly even that seems kinda meh from a 2070S. Yiu really should wait for a 3080 if you want the money to have been well spent.
Thanks, def the answer I was after, I will hang out for the 3080 FE as its not a great jump up financially from a 3070, if all fails, im sure the evga RTX 3080 XC3's will becoming more readily available, these seem best suited due to their size after the FE as have an SFF case,
well good luck to anyone wanting a 3060 ti hope plenty are available

He’s right though if you think about it logically. The more of these cards that sell in the coming months the more people are going to want to move away from 1080p gaming. Please note that I said coming months though, no need to quote the steam survey. I’d love to see the breakdown of this steam survey though, how many included laptops for instance? Got to be a fair chunk if it did include this.
I entered PC gaming in July this year with a 1080p set up. After playing in 1080p I knew immediately that if I had the money I would move up to 1440p with a 3070, and I got my wish.
these cards are build for 1440p+. People that want to stay at 1080p gaming will not buy these cards as it would probably be worth more than the entire rig altogether. Just think logically about the situation here.
