Anyone just given up on looking for a new GPU?

Always will be until the situation changes
As soon as I read the statement of 10% loss I knew it was BS, if there is voltage degradation, the firmware doesnt detect it and auto slow down, instead it would just become unstable. Palit not made themselves look good here.
That's an insane tariff how did you get that. I checked EDF just now and I can get nothing near that rate.
Just checked EDF as well - GoElectric98 is 36p kwh during peak times and 16p kwh off peak!!
^ My cousin just got a 6900XT from a retailer for 1200£ (all happy and joy). He got home and the GPU does not fit in the case 
)). Plus, his PSU of 750w from eBay (some no name, ticking bomb thing) will most likely die in the process of running it )).
I am so surprised to not see people go for this GPUs, at that price? While Facebook sells 3080 for 1100£ or so, and that's clearly an sub performing part.

I had a 3070GTX in my checkout for at least 10 minutes contemplating on the ass kicking that my wife would have given me. (I could have easily nabbed a 3080ti as well and can quite easily afford it). It is really not difficult to get a card at rrp if you have the right apps. Even at £500 it is just a crazy amount to spend on a GPU. Especially when a high mid range would have cost £250 3 years ago.
Maybe I am getting old but we spent £500 on IKEA instead kitting out my son's bedroom and buying a few other bits for around the house.

Goodness knows how long until anyone who cannot afford to pay scalpers will be able to get their hands on something decent again.

2025....ish
We are on the GoElectric Nov21 single tarriff. Just double checked and its 12.48p per kwh with a standing charge of 27.71p. Gas is 2.953 per kwh and 24.93p per day.
Just have the single rate all day too
You have to have an electric car or storage heater (I think) to qualify.
The 3080 earns more mining though and will probably have a higher resale value.^ My cousin just got a 6900XT from a retailer for 1200£ (all happy and joy). He got home and the GPU does not fit in the case

You'll be in shock at the new tariffs
