I don’t think the prices are much different. 2080 only had an MSRP of £749, that’s what I paid for my 3080.

Turing was scalped directly from Nvidia to the consumer.

The 2080 offered 1080Ti performance for 1080Ti money....only a generation late.

The 3070 and 3080 *at retail* put us back in line with everything that came before Turing, then Covid, lockdowns, and money-printing, blew up demand and hiked prices back to Turing's terrible value levels.

Agreed. The FE 3080 is only £649, which is decent value direct from nvidia. I wouldn’t be paying much more for a card with a marginally better cooler. Certainly not £8-9-1000 some vendors are asking and certainly not scalper prices.

I mean the custom 3090’s are nearly £2000. Direct from nvidia they cost £1399.
