Graphics cards prices on the mend- Scalpers losses
- Thread starter Sarge2255
- Start date
I bought one I still feel its too expensive but not because I can't afford it. Anyway I've now sold it on for what I paid and use a 2060 instead for a while longer.

These cards are nearly half way through the generation now, time to get hyped by the 7800XT and 4090* choochoo
* I'll grab an ex mining 6700xt for £300 when it dies off some more

Exactly @d_brennen ! I think it was @TNA ? who last had the common sense to roll with the punches in the current climate, play the games he needed then sell on as it wont be long till the next gen is being lauded up and he will just buy that. I used to be a mug and bought a vega56 when it was 'cheap' and realised soon after it was only cheap as the refresh was being lined up by AMD so retailers have to clear existing stock. Low and behold 6 months later the card was superseded so I thought the next time I get one it wil be near launch so I can maximise its features and sell on when its not cutting the mustard (rinse and repeat).

Still 18 months off from those cards.

No.
@ukmets said (s)he bought one, what you quoted was me saying i wouldn't buy one even if it was only £100 over MSRP but that i understood that others wouldn't have a problem with that.Do you really think a new generation will be coming out? After that sh*tshow of a 30 TU series launch?

I see 3080 for over 1000 still, so not exactly anywhere near what they should be. I can wait.
Soldato
Business as usual my friend. Nvidia and AMD have sold all the can make, big success
If they do release a new generation this year, it'll hopefully drop 30 series prices even more
I would expect volume for rdna3 around 2023 q1 or so.
Atm I wait for mining to slow down.
yeah time to get saving if you want a RDNA3 or RTX4000 series as even the low end models will likely start at 500 quid.
Soldato
^ yep.
If RDNA3 is not out till 2023, will be happy to sit and wait on my FE till then!

wouldnt call it a success a small win maybe as could have sold 10 times more if wasnt for supply issues
Soldato
I doubt they would have ever shifted as many if you look at previous annual yields. I agree with @d_brennen they both will come out with good balance sheets considering a pandemic affecting two years of their operations..
Soldato
Was supply really the issue? Sure it was tighter than usual but we saw fantasy MSRPs from both camps and seemingly walls and walls of GPUs farming in Asia, not to mention the garage crypto enthusiast over here and elsewhere. I read somewhere that shipped units from both AMD and Nvidia were up on previous gen, but take that as hearsay
sales up from AMD side isnt a surprise tbh, , nvidia well wouldnt trust what they say tbh, paper launch after paper launch

Seen a EVGA 3080 FTW3 for £1200 today missed out on it.
