[Wiseone85]

Hey been lurking for a while waiting to strike...
Been waiting for stock to appear using a stock checker.. ...

Did this come into stock today could I ask ?

GIGABYTE GEFORCE RTX 3070 GAMING OC 8GB

If so great because hopefully I have ordered one.....
If not then I must have been day dreaming

Peace and love

Thanks, did you buy it from OC or a competitor?

I’ve been having regular notifications about 3070 stock. Lol at the pricing though.

Got it from OC

Are they not all like £120 overpriced? I mean the 3070 should be £470...

 

[Doobedoo]

Yep. Palit gamerspro for example started off at £510, it’s now £600.

Unless your current gpu is broken now is a terrible time to be buying.

Well if your current GPU is broken just buy a used 1070.

If people keep paying these exorbitant prices then they are literally telling the resellers that it's ok to scalp people.

Most definitely but people still pay the prices.
So companies will charge what they like

Secondhand prices are not great either. I paid £350 for a secondhand 980ti when the 1080 was released, a 2080ti will cost close to £600 now.

The Gigabyte one is £659 and was in stock for like 10 seconds.

What I meant was if you truly need a GPU because yours is physically broke, you could buy something cheap to tide you over for the meantime.

There are worse things that can happen to you than being without the worlds best GPU for a few months...

No I completely agree it’s not a great time to be a pc gamer at the minute.

7 months later and it's still hard to get a 3070 I'm trying... I don't want to settle for a second hand with miners at the moment and don't see the point only upgrading one generation.
