I see all the FE cards in-stock for weeks must be selling loads

Aye, i think people are finally fed up of the pish being taken.

Not only that, but you can get an arguably better AIO 4090 cheaper than the FE for £1499 at OCUK.

Next gen will have a further premium placed on it with less technological advancement.

If people pay the prices of the current gen then they sure will.

Shame.

Life’s too short pal to waste waiting for best price to performance.

If you do it with your forum name they do respond pretty fast in my experience.

You I would instaban

NVDA’s revenues from the Gaming market platform plunged 46% year over year in the last reported quarter. The year-over-year decline was primarily due to a lower sell-in of Gaming products.

And they gonna improve that by increasing the price further?

They don’t care mate. They have AI now. People holding back on purchases might be depriving themselves of decent deals vs next years pricing imo. Better to upgrade now than to wait on tomorrow. 10gb and 8gb card owners are sweating right now. Eg 3080 now worth barely £350. Better to recoup that value now than to wait another 18m and find you would only get £200 or less

It's still brings in billions so pretty sure they do care would they want AMD/ Intel to take over ?
3080 is like going on close to 3 years and still fine ? 1440p I think it's done well computer parts always lose value the current gen will be cheaper used when next gen is out yeah probably without warranty but would take that chance , XT price seems to be dropping quickly wonder where it will stop

Anyway it will be interesting what next gen brings and pricing we all speculating at this point

AI is going nowhere, massive growth sector and will no doubt be the boom of 23/24 and 2025, just does gamers no favours as for NVIDIA the corporates wanting the AI chips are an easier sale, think they start at $32,000 per chip.

Even OcUK is seeing massive growth in corporate sector, but we keep pushing really hard on the consumer GPUs to get prices down as for us gaming GPU sales are up year on year, though marginally but corporate sales are more than double, good job with size of new building.

the thing about ai is it's new and everyone see's a cash cow .. the problem is as it go's along your going to need more specialized equipment ..so it will divert from the gamer gpu ..and then they will need us again ..

Tbh wouldn’t be happy with a card with less than 16gb vram. All but the 3090 from last gen is out. AMD 6000 series have no AI cores so FSR3.0 might not run as well etc. 7900xt and XTX have a lot of performance that hasn’t been unlocked yet by AMD. SO FINE WINE ETC

So... What you're saying is wait until the performance has matured and the cards have dropped to £400? Understood

But then you don’t enjoy life so it is a fine balance.

Life’s too short pal to waste waiting for best price to performance.

You realise there is more to life than GPUs?

I might buy a decent electric piano instead of a GPU, learn to play that instead.

I can't be arsed with this anymore, these prices....

You can take up other (expensive) hobbies now instead of gaming.

Shame.

See, this guy gets it.

Bought myself a nice synth and took the other half away for a dirty weekend away from the kids recently for the price of a 7900xtx, but apparently I'm not "enjoying life"

This is a "good deal" (given the current market), so well done to Gibbo, but let's not pretend it's good value given the price/performance offered

Everyone thinks things and prices will get better- I suspect prices will go up a little more next gen.

I think it (7900xt) is tremendous value for £700. It’s 3090ti level with Vram to boot. Imagining getting a 3090ti/3090 for half price a year later. I’m not sure the XTX is that value as it’s only 10-15% faster then the Xt but for £300 more.

But tech moves on fast, 3090ti is no longer fast enough, the 4080 and 4090 have moved the bar forward.

How long has the quest2 been out now, nearly 3 years? Yet we've only just got a GPU that can drive it at high performance settings, and that is the 4090 which is the halo card at halo price. The performance isn't good enough for the tech that is already out there.

It's not half a year later though, the 3090 has been out for almost 3 years now.

That's quite a long time in hardware cycles, so naturally you'd expect a mid-high tier card to be approaching the performance level of a 3 year old halo card. The problem is, that even at the deal price, the 7900xt is a couple of hundred £ too expensive for a mid-high tier card, because it's being pitched as the high tier card, when performance wise it's around what should be the 7800xt level, and priced as such

I've only get a few other expensive hobbies. Guitar and bikes. That why since the gpu prices when silly upgrading gpu become least priority.

But then you don’t enjoy life so it is a fine balance.

You must have a sad and lonely life. Go outside. Ride a bike, go for a walk. It's summer time. Too hot and sweaty to sat inside gaming your life away.

The world has moved on and prices from the past are no longer.

These 2 companies have decided this is how much gpus will be from now on- they don’t really care what you think tbh lol.

I think you’ll be disappointed next gen and the gen after… you are sadly not going to get price/performance gpus anymore.

Cant imagine shareholders will be pleased if they see 2 generations in a row of low volume sales across gamer gpu's. Unless AI tech fills that gap, then who knows! Like some of you have said, maybe they just wouldn't care what happens. They know that AMD will just sheep behind them and intel's no where close to matching in performance.
