Anyone just given up on looking for a new GPU?

"RRP" Retailers Ripoff Price.

Now a lot of those are AIB ripoff prices.

The RRP we all talk about only really relates to Founders and Reference cards. Anything AIB always begins 10%, and then the sky is the limit if they're going to stick a screen on your GPU or call it SUPRIM.

I've got my fingers crossed for a 3060Ti Just something a little more current and doesn't cost the earth The near future is not looking great though.

Good solid card tbf, 2080Ti only roughly 10% faster!

Pretty much rest of 2021 imo.

Tbf the Rad VII is still a decent card, should do for a while shirley? Then sell it for £1k to miners when you're sorted

That broke down a while ago I'm afraid.

I had to completely re-configure my case into an open layout to fit the 3090 in it, which was a pain in the neck. Luckily that was an option for my PC case.

So I’ve got 315mm clearance and could get 335mm if I take one of the front fans out but really don’t want to. I have managed to snag a 3070 TUF this morning (well being delivered in like a month but still) that’ll fit (299 length).

edit - No matter, I forgot it's an open forum lol

Having new cards in the 3D printing section is genius. Bloody love it

G J · 22 Jan 2021 at 11:03

I've got to work today so no checking for stock drops as I was looking at 3060ti's as Intel UHD 630 is losing its shine with me. :mad:

As people will get cards today I'll try the wanted section on the MM till stock levels are good again.

Given up for now, not paying these inflated prices.

OspreyO · 22 Jan 2021 at 11:22

I may have built a desktop. But I've gone the Gaming laptop instead. I'll probably get two so the family has more flexibility in moving around the house.

philo-sofa · 22 Jan 2021 at 11:25

If they had a 3080 I'd pay an inflated price. There, I said it. Supply and demand.

I keep seeing 3070's for £580 - £680 price bracket I just cant bring myself to pay that! I have seen 3060ti which is what I really want but again it is hovering around £500 I just wont pay such prices....I will just stick with my Vega 56.

I know what you mean.but as my vega 64 is worth £350+ It offsets the price increase!
