I've talked myself in to a 3080 if I can find one at near MSRP eventually, and FE stock has seemingly been non-existent for a while, but today I have seen stock at an actual seller (not a re-sale parasite). 3070 prices have been creeping down but 80s have been largely consistent. Anyone else noticed any movement on trackers?

3080 stock recovering?

The market pricing makes not sense atm. You can sell a rtx 2060 for near £500. For £1600 you can get a 3080ti. Imgine all the companies that took pre-orders for the likes of 3080's who now cant buy them cheaply. Who still have to deliver to massive queues of people.
For this money I better have no gpu.
Yeah and who would be stupid enough to pay that for a 3080?
Completely agree. People have just lost all sense of reason.
what are you talking about ? I still wait for my 3080 , 134th in queue... for the last month.. how is anything "recovering".... once a month there is a 10 or 20 or sometimes 30-35 jump in the queue (probably people getting sick of waiting and buying 3070 and cancel order)
This. IMO for gaming/normal use, GPU prices are still about twice what they should be. Like, if all cars cost £100k, we'd just walk/taxi to work as it's cheaper. GPUs make sense only until the crypto bubble bursts. Granted, if supply was down to real shortages, they'd become super luxury items (similar to VR or private pilot licences/aircraft)... but in reality, the scale of a GPU can be set to whatever a manufacture can bare, vs the customer. And currently it's skewed massively.
There is worse to come for retailers, when the scalpers realise they can't get good prices on ebay anymore and start returning cards on mass in whatever state.
I only wish for retailers to say sorry… store credit only
Oh, there certainly are stupid people in the world.
Thinking on it, now might be the worst time to buy as both availability and prices have started to get better. Unlike earlier in the year when you'd likely get several months worth of use and/or the ability to flip the card for at least as much as you paid. Seems like anyone buying now will look back in a few weeks time and feel like they over paid.
I think we're still a fair way off things being good. But for the first time this year it slowly slowly seems to be getting better.

there's nothing wrong with the cost, I ordered it for £719.99
generally speaking they cost over a grand unless you are lucky to either grab a 3080 FE or have a really really old order from launch day.

I would love a 3080 for near MSRP especially the FE card. Yes there is stock around. Yes its at inflated prices but seeing as the 20 series high end GPU's were over a grand depending on model prices will still come down when stock comes in.
