Graphics Cards overpriced! What is your max price?

[tommybhoy]

I must be super lucky I got my 3080 FE and after selling games it worked out around the same you paid then

After selling the games, entry level 970 cost just £178.

Top of the range 1070 £409.

Entry level non A chip 2070 £439.

3070 cost £579 and Ocuk don't even bother to send the codes anymore!

 

[Zeeflyboy]

In fact, the last card I bought was GTX 970, £245, came with a free SSD and Far Cry Primal IIRC. Card was ultimately £200.

I'm looking to replace it and would spend up to £300 but I've no idea what I'd buy for that.

Just wait a few months and should be able to pick up a 3060 or 6600 level card for low 300’s most likely.

 

[Yaayuh!]

If I could get a 6800XT or 3080 for £700 I would buy one immediately, but that's my limit. So i'm essentially waiting until end of January the earliest I think.

Haha. Yeah.

I cancelled my order from here over the weekend anyway, they could not fulfil the order I made on release date after an hour or so of release.

I got my codes with my order elsewhere no issues

 

[DampDog]

Dunno you tell me?

Old system, I'd like to be able to run anything and everything at 1080p/60Hz. How much will I realistically need to spend, and on what? Have a 1050Ti at the moment, runs most things OK so long as I don't max out all the settings.

I find the price of top end graphics cards crazy, what's the asking for a 2080, £900ish. That's a reasonable processor, motherboard and memory right there. folk are being had at the moment.

 

[robfosters]

I used to think 7+800 quid was a joke, but after the debacle that was the 20 series pricing, it suddenly felt a lot more palatable

 

[zephyrv]

I was fairly happy with MSRP but yeah 3080 at 500 and 3080ti at 650 would be much more reasonable.

We're getting shafted by the conversion and stuff

GTX780 GHz - £399
Palit GTX1070 - £350 (nearly sold it when prices went to £600 a few days later).
RTX 3070FE - £469

 

[Tommy_Here]

719.99 is the most I've spent on a 1080 Ti FE on launch. I would never spend that again. I'm happy with my 1080 Ti at £285 which is an FTW hybrid model.

£469 I was prepared to pay if the 3070 was a slightly beefier gpu with more Vram. £500 for a 3070 Ti 10gb Vram and 85% performance of 3080 I'll bite.

 

[crazy8s]

Was willing to spend £649 on a RTX 3080 but decided consoles were the better buy this gen.

 

[skiersteve12345]

I was geared up to spend 650 ish this month but it's kinda dawned on me that the games I still get most enjoyment out of all run fine on my 1080 at 1440p and g sync.

I imagine even Cyberpunk will be perfectly playable. But chances are I'll get that game on a Series x or Ps5 anyway.

This this this, I play at 3440x1440 and have a 2070super, I play wow which requires a potato, csgo which also requires a potato and cold war which I hit my g sync fps limiter, im surprised people are so desperate for the new cards? Is everyone using a 4k monitor with a gtx1060? People with 2080super/2080tis and aren't running 4k what games are you playing that those cards can't handle? Or do people just love wasting money lol

 

[aoaaron]

I'm willing to spend probably about £700 on a GPU once a game comes out which I want to play which my 2080 can't handle at 4K.

At the moment, I'm playing Nier Automata and Persona 5 tho so not in any rush. Cyberpunk will 100% change this.

 

[gettothechopper]

2015 - 1080p 380 £180
2017 - good 1080p 580 £300
2018 - good 1080p ultrawide / now ok 1440p vega 64 £450
2020 - now 144hz 1440p so looking at 6800 at £530-£600 now, suspect they will only get more expensive next year though so might suck it up

so pretty much double the price in 3 years for one resolution up
regret the 580 but was put off by vega launch prices being really high, then mining craze and couldn't get a 580 for ages let alone cheap, should have just bought the v64 at launch, and save a bit of money and have a better card for longer - oh well!
or could have got 1080ti at launch (£700 in 2017) and saved some more money!

 

[IvanDobskey]

Although I could afford a 3090, I just can't justify paying £1400 for a graphics card. It's just obscene really. I just about justified £469 on my 3070, but still feel it's hugely overpriced.

 

[TerrierHTFC]

I'd probably max out at £700, which is still daft really. But I wont pay over MSRP, I'm not having the **** taken out of me because Nvidia can't produce cards/retailers take advantage/cards were released at a dubious price to look good on reviews.

So unless I fluke an FE I wont be buying one.

 

[Relentless81]

I can't make mind my mind up what to do, graphics cards are far too expensive now, I can afford to buy one but should I when I can get a console for less is a whole other thing

I'll try and pick up a 6800 this week if they are available at RRP and even then it's begrudgingly and with a view to keeping it for a long time, if not then I might just keep what I have for the foreseeable, I'm not happy with the way pc gaming is going and it's not going to get better, it's a very, very expensive hobby

 

[GloriousMess]

My monthly train ticket between home and London was about £450 before I started working from home permanently in March.

Given that I'm saving the rough equivalent of a PS5 every month, and that I'm building a high end gaming PC from scratch, what matters to me is paying good money for good tech. So far I haven't really seen anything worth buying in this generation of video cards.

 

[Rezident]

£750 max, ideally...

 

[grudas]

Where are you seeing mid level Nvidia and AMD for £1500???? They're all around 600-700 for high end. Only "Uber" high end like 3090 are 1k+

 

[Tommy_Here]

What is the actual price of the 6800 non Xt without gouging.. £549?? If so and they could be flashed to a 6800 Xt no issues that would be my limit and would last me the next few years at 4k.
