I have a feeling that the 3070 release is going be no differentI wanted a 3080 but since its Vapourware its not much of any option lol
OCuk just have such bad luck, always without fail buying their stock when the exchange rate isn't advantageous.
if 3070 will be around 2080ti performance the price will have to dropI wouldn't like to put any bets on the prices dropping
The 2080ti prices never hardly dropped at all through it whole 2 year life span (if anything they actually went up even higher )
I am waiting for the reviews as well but I think it will not be worth.. you will get probably 300-350 for 1080ti and pay additional 200 for probably around 25% performance?Is the 3070 a worthy upgrade from the 1080ti? I want to actually stretch my 165hz 1440p monitor this generation.

I am planning to go with 3080...
Going on previous launches, shortly before launch he'll make a post saying which brands/models they have more stock of, and so higher chance your order will be fulfilled. No special ordering system for forum members.In the stock announcement from @Gibbo this was written..."3070 launch incoming, we have product in stock for launch, but nothing shall be displayed in stock as we feel it will sell out fast but as before I shall hint which brands stands forum members the best chance of grabbing one"
I'm confused. Will the 3070 product pages show live stock on Thursday to order? or is there some other way to order for forum members? thx.
Cheers. Yes he hinted already on a brand, just wasn't clear if it was still a bun fight once they go live. It'd be more useful to give us a heads up of time of preorders opening up Thanks.Going on previous launches, shortly before launch he'll make a post saying which brands/models they have more stock of, and so higher chance your order will be fulfilled.

I dunno, the 970 cost £259 on launch and you say you paid £400 for your 1070 on launch. So we're talking a price rise of about 50% / £140. The RTX3070 price rise compared to RTX2070 doesn't seem any worse than that?Never seen a price rise that bad for the "same tier" of card in ANY previous xx70 generation

If by xx70 you mean it needs 2 digits before the 70 then it's a bit of a limited comparison given there's only a single point of reference (1070 to 2070).
You know anyone who's pay went up by +50% over 4 yrs? Most ppl are lucky to get +3% (per year) these days. There's no way the average person can keep up with these bonkers price rises.
1070 is still a decent card for most games at 1440p, but it does struggle with some and no chance @ 4k/60fps which is the gold standard everyone's hankering after atm with 4k TV's being as cheap as they are now. (sure 1440p/144hz is good for fast games, but for the truly cinematic experience in blockbuster titles, 4k is the way to go!)
Asus 3070 now listed for £10 more than a 3080-FE.
Funny enough I get almost exactly a 3% pay rise PA - but it comes as 9% every 3 years :s
