3070 and 3070ti just dropped as well, we're getting all the drops today!
Is there still a purchase limit for these?

Seems like they're all still in stock! I couldn't justify £650 now though for a near 2 year old 3080.. I'm holding out for 4000 series now and my 1080 classified will hold up In till then.. currently playing some of my older games at 4k just fine

The only safe buy now would be a 3060 Ti imo... as we approach £450+ for a 3070 onwards I'd rather put that away for hopefully a 4070 or less for a 4060 Ti.. which will be around 3080 perf whereas I can't see a £369 4000 series card anytime soon..

Assuming that there is not another Mess on the 4000 release. I would imagine there will be a good rush for the first bunch leaving some people without cards for months on end. The situation in China is not good at the moment. I am struggling daily to get silicon out of china I think we have a few years of short supplies to come yet.

Depends on PSU. If you have enough power, I'd probably hang on, but if you have a PSU that needs to be upgraded as well...gets expensive fast.

I just picked up the 3060ti. I have been on the look out for a while but prices have been silly, along with that i am restricted to size in my case (Fractal Meshify C with AIO at front) and this was a little over my budget but right size and good 1440p performance so i went for it
I now have a fully "Triggers Broom" PC
Yes seems every card in stock at nvidia store apart from the 3090 and cex have raised their selling price on 3090s now to £950 lowest and rest going up too, the 3080 dropped a little to £725 too for the fe to buy, so really best place is the store to get an fe now for price. So grab one if you need one.

Also just grabbed a 3060ti.
Parts have arrived today to upgrade my aging I3 system to 12th gen I5.
Was going to hold out for a GFX card till later in the year.
I am well chuffed.

Gtx960 4gb, which to be fair, has lasted me longer than expected. Having got the 3060ti, my partial upgrade has gone out of the window.Nice, what GPU were you on? Gonna be a huge jump regardless I'd imagine
New case and power supply incoming !!
As the kids say, YOLO. And damn that's definitely going to be a jump from a 960. EnjoyGtx960 4gb, which to be fair, has lasted me longer than expected. Having got the 3060ti, my partial upgrade has gone out of the window.

Can't believe they're all still in stock exc. The 3080... Nvidia now knows a lot are holding out for next gen...

Drop it to 350 and I will swap my 3070 for one.

Still in stock… but the 3080 is out of stock.
Good to see but way too late.

IMO they are still in stock because the scalpers aren't making profits selling them to miners at the moment

TBH Nvidia could have been dropping 3080FE's for a while now, but instead they started dropping newer versions of the GA102, bit more RAM, new more cores, huge price jump, that's not scalpers or miners fault, that's nvidia trying to profiteer from the sector..
