Another Round of Price Increases ?

With the £ falling ever lower today, can we expect higher GPU prices by tomorrow? Get your order in right now peeps

I thought Gibbo said current round was agreed exchange rate, depends on next stock delivery I suppose.
Andi.

i'm guessing current pricing structure is out the window

I see that the Zotac 1070 FE is back up extra £21. Is this due to falling currency rate?

 

[dits]

As present stocks are sold and if the £ keeps on falling will we see an eventual price hike across the whole GPU spectrum?

I've heard brilliant things about overclockers' customer service and while the obvious that yeah if you go through some dodgy 3rd party person you could get something cheaper but you miss out on the protection and clout having bought from a retailer carries.

This gbp/USD/ Euro free for all is having a massive impact on everything let alone entertainment goods.

You're doing an admirable job.

Still it makes buying things an uncertainty, miss out now and the same thing could be 20% in 4 months.


Who says VEGA will be any less odd price wise by the time it comes out?

Have you seen the price rise on the Samsung 850 Evo 250Gb SSD???

Indeed.

My 850 evo 500GB was cheaper than this 4 months ago
(IE. £115.99 from OCuk).

It's crazy. Price gouging at a new level.

Will OC be able to hold off price surge for much longer?

You only have to look at hotukdeals to see console prices are unaffected. PC hardware on the other hand has just sky rocketed. Shame really.

Not just consoles, most household electrical goods haven't risen as much as PC components. SSD price rise has just been absolutely shocking.

PC hardware has very little lag. Because the value of PC components depreciates so rapidly, manufacturers have to be very careful not to over-produce. If you make too many fridges well you're going to have to pay for warehousing but at least you can still sell them at the same price next year. Make too many 1060 3GB cards and good luck offloading them at the same price a year from now. So production is very carefully gauged which means that when costs shift, the response is very fast. Additionally many of these goods are priced in pounds. So for example I think Asus has stock of monitors in the UK which you buy in pounds so it isn't immediately impacted. But GPUs are bought in dollars so they are.

Other goods will rise as well. Nearly everything will. Including food which is forecast to rise already. They just take longer to show up than GPUs, etc.

How is it the price rises on SSD seem to more at OC than any other retailer?

the worrying thing is that retailers are charging various prices for same items. no wonder consumers feel ripped off. OC are charging the Acer X34A Predator £200 more than cheapest competitor. Surely this sort of over the top pricing can't just be due to falling £?
