Poll: BROWSE THE NVIDIA RTX 4000 SERIES AT OcUK !!

[varkanoid]

The 200+ sold since launch are all to consumers, no business or corporate sales yet.

i think thats telling there I've seen CPU launches with another 0 on the end of that figure if not two 0's I`m getting old if £779 is a sensible price even if it is the top one. Give it a few months and we will see 79503Dx for the same price and they will lop off £100-£200 of the 7950.

Have you considered the FE card ? all being well it should retain its price of £1680 and they are actually very good cards and against an AIB in games you will struggle to notice the difference imo ... Also if you want to be brave and mod it then they can actually outperform an AIB card in certain benchmarks if they are like the 3090 was ... the guy in 1st place on the port royal thread was using a modded FE card , my Strix is sitting in 4th place and that was with a 520w bios and very cold temps https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/t...eature-test-port-royal-bench-thread.18838895/

Will give the AIB cards a go but I remember last time in the 3xxx when they seemed to sell out in seconds! Hopefully the scalpers won’t be out in force this time around

Apparently hundreds of 4000 series GPUs already in stock, maybe whoever is buying won't have to wait like me for over 6 months to get RTX 3080 after preordering it few minutes after the release

You went for a higher end brand I'm guessing, took me 6 weeks waiting to get the launch day Zotac 3080.

Given with zen 3 had sold all the stock + OCUK had an additional 3000 on back order 1 day after release the numbers do look well down if the 7950X is the best seller at just over 200.

We have 3000 backorders, 10,000 is the amount I have ordered!

Also I requested queue positions be emailed to all every Friday or when we get a delivery, so that should be active now.

It'll probably pick up when the more reasonably priced boards arrive as its hard to justify a £300+ board for a 6/8 core CPU, gamers will no doubt wait for the X3D models as well.

6c for the price of 14c, roll up roll up!!!

 

[hobib_ali]

Yeah man that needs rounding up for sure

where u see that?

 

[hobib_ali]

whats the likleyhood of the 4090 shooting up in price due to the many reasons, demand and weak pound

but then whats the likleyhood of it going down in price? could actually go down like the 30 series 8 months ago and now??

£1679 is the cheapest confirmed, lets say thats 1700 quid, ok so the Asus strix will hit 2k no doubt

Unlikely the price would go down as it’s a new product and Nvidia wants to keep the price high and Nvidia boss man Jensen Huang has said that falling GPU prices are “a story of the past”.

Just like PC gaming will become if this greed continues. I think Nvidia have really shot themselves in the foot with these launch prices and I for one hope they have. I realise it weren't too long ago people were happy enough paying silly prices for 30 series cards, but the fact is, it's a completely different era now. People nowadays are fed up to the back teeth of being bent over, left, right, centre, and sideways, for as much as they can possibly be fleeced for, and I believe the sales of the 40 series cards will tell this tale. Here's hoping ..

 

[gpuerrilla]

Yeah we could just about stomach the situation due to a rare event like the pandemic, increase in scalper enabling (bot accounts bypassing standard site stuff), mining and FOMO.

The last time it happened without many of these factors was Turing and people just didnt buy it, so I hope this same mentality wins out. We can partially understand the 'costs' mean maybe cheaper cards each gen are a thing of the past but doubling the sku prices is folly and they need to wind in this gamers will pay anything mantra.

He says a lot of things and they usually turn out to be untrue but one things for sure, if they don't sell then nvidia won't have a choice.

 

[scubes]

I think they no the prices but cant put them up until 12 October .

 

[Joe Jones]

I don't think the prices will come down as it justifies raising the price of all other cards since the 4000's are over-priced and leaving too big a price gap between the 'old' gen .

Gamers were annoyed by the 3000's series pricing/availability and are reluctant to jump at the 4000's at the current price point. Despite the rumored high stock levels retails are still asking over MSRP now for cards, because then can control the market.

I guess it depends on how you define "control".

They can charge $5k for 4090, sell functionally zero units and make no money. -technically "control" I guess.

They can't actually force us to buy graphics cards. They must convince us to voluntarily hand over money if they are to profit.

 

[NiteSurfer]

October 12th at 2pm, should have plenty of stock too, just managed to buy several hundred from one AIB, looking good on the OC models.

According to this poll, you're going to need at least 86 4000 series units. and that's a small percentage of those who don't even post on here.
I was going to buy that PSU linked on here last night, but they were all sold that evening.

 

[Joxeon]

I feel for the 3 people who are planning to spend 1k on a 4080 12gb or perhaps they were just poll trolling.

That's it. They can put a 4090 at $5K and very few would buy it...so instead of 3090's being discounted to $1000 like a few weeks ago to shift stock they've jumped back up to $1200.
If people want a card now, they'll look at the difference and figure the 4090 is not 3 times the 'worth' so opt for a 3090 which looks like a bargain in comparison....at a 20% price hike in recent weeks.

This has happened across both AMD and NVIDIA immediately following the NVIDIA price releases.

No one can force a consumer to buy a card, but then can manipulate you into paying more if you're not up-to-speed on prices.

This is exactly what J.H. said NVIDIA would do - manipulate market and pricing so people first will feel like 3k series is a good deal, buy them all out and THEN they will care to start selling 4k series (likely dropping price of 4080 models and introducing new ones etc.). Till 3k series sell fully, they do not seem to care to sell too many of the 4k series - they are patient and can wait. Most important for them is to prevent price drops of 3k series, so they don't lose the mining margin, as they got spoiled by that period and want it to stay forever. Wishful corpo thinking really, it's not sustainable and market will hopefully prove it to them soon enough.
I can already see big price drops on 3080 Ti in many shops (often to the level of refurbished post-mining ones on eBay).

The 3000 series has been discounted at all though, as even now it's stale tech at 2 year old prices.
