600 quid for +9% more performance according to TPU.

Then posts about getting value for money.

This is quite untrue really, as obviously the value of the 3080 is not gone once replaced. Still, talking £2xx for the performance bump which isn't nothing but it's a new card, with warranty, and very different from £600.

If you want to factor in resale value then you also have to factor in the cost of the 3080 to begin with, £650 + £600 spent and £350 back so a total of £900 to end up with a card of this level.

Wow.
Never have I regretted coming back to a forum like this.
The 3080 was sold for £800. I bought a bargain 3070 but now my Alienware 27" 240Hz needs more frames.
There is logic; you just don't have all the facts. Don't make me quote Michael Jackson.

How far do you go with that though bro, do you have to factor in the resale of previous systems etc etc etc?

 

[Amraam]

Exactly, and prices can change at anytime, so their conclusions are quickly incorrect. Also, no-one does UK pricing...

Because anal lube that is required when making GPU purchases in the UK is not family friendly and thus unsuitable to be talked about on said YouTube channels...

£600 in 2024, on a nearly 2 year old tech, and only 12GB VRAM.

Is it just me or does that not sound great?

Those slightly amused by this post are not factoring in what card the OP had,

Pretty sure the amusement comes from the OP trying to tell us this purchase is good value

Gave me a good chuckle reading through this, the original flex didn't exactly go the way the OP wanted

This is why it’s best not to factor in resale value at all as that is only based on some money recovered from what you’ve previously spent so still a net loss.

If I had bought a 4090 for £1800 on release and then sold it for £1000 and bought a 4080S for £1000 would this card then be classed as free?

Yeah, that too is laughable. NVidia have really taken the **** this round of cards.

I agreee, you have to judge every purchase as a standalone, we've all done the "But I sold my x GPU for y pounds so new the new GPU only cost z" - but we all know that's man-maths.

True, but the cost to *change* is the important thing, which is what was being discussed and what people took issue with, as they said the upgrade value was dependent on what you're coming from. All a bit of a nothing burger I suppose and dependent largely on preference for newer/warranty etc.

Jenson goes in dry.

I wouldn't commend any card in the RTX 4000 series on value particularly.

But the RTX 4070 Super does improve on the RTX 4070 quite a bit, in terms of performance. It's still a bit too expensive though, it would win a bit more if the MSRP was £50 cheaper.

I think the problem is that it came a bit too late for many people to be interested - Lots of people will be looking ahead to new generations like RDNA4 that will release at the end of the year.

I agree. As tempting as the 4080S is for me, when it's performance I want rather than need (50-60% more than my current card) I'm much more inclined to wait a year when (hopefully) the same performance will be available for a few hundred less, or the same price will net bigger gains.

The value just isn't there, especially not halfway through a cycle.

Supers should all be £50-£100 less than their MSRP to get any real sales from those wanting to upgrade. It's too late in the 4000 life span to make people care.

So you bought a card with less ram? Why not a 3070 TI Super atleast?

We don't know what happened, maybe OCUK updated their invoice emails to say "please review on our forums" lol

Don't take my personally my guy, we're a school of starving malnurshed fish waiting for the bite, we have had a bad few years with GPUs and it's now got to the point we find everyting is a joke and we're just biding time.

Though maybe catch up first on the general feeling of how people are reacting to a lineup so not to get that reaction hah.

Kinda like going to an Apple forum and telling them to buy an Android.
