We don't buy video cards in € though, they are priced in $ like everything coming out of Taiwan. However yes we have lost some traction against the €, but given the Italian election results I think that might have an effect today.

I'm well aware that we don't buy video cards in €. You implied that it wasn't the pound falling but the dollar strengthening, i pointed out that if that were the case we'd expect other currencies to be following a similar pattern and using your example of the euro/dollar we don't see that if we compare the euro/pound.

€ is now down to 96c to $ - we are not in isolation, the $ is literally the strongest it has been in nearly forever. The world is in a shambles.

it's not "the world" that's in shambles, it's only the west.

Hasn't the Yen collapsed even more than the pound? Ah, it's about the same with today's pound falls. But it's clearly not only a western issue.

 

[Iron Man]

Can we have a separate thread for currency speculation? Would rather see discussion on the card itself here!

Have a look at the trend of the EUR and GBP against the dollar over the last month, they're actually pretty similar. It's only the last couple of days of Truss's Sterling collapse that have sharply diverged. (@Iron Man is right, that's enough of all this).

Best close the thread then since there is nothing to discuss until there are reviews.

It’s kind of important as it directly affects the price of an already extortionate produce which isn’t even out yet.

Never mind the knock on effects.

We could all go into speakers corner and start posting gpu benches and stuff.

£ dropped as low as $1.03 in the Asian market this morning before recovering back to $1.07.
When the cards are released we could well see the £ drop below a $.

If I don't get a FE card, then there is no way I am paying £2000+ for an AIB.
Obviously pricing is all hear say, but you certainly won't see AIB within £100 of the FE.

Good idea let’s hijack their thread, I’m sure they won’t mind like the people on this thread talking about currency and not an actual graphics card!

You didn't miss much mate the typical Nvidia shenanigans and trying it on with customers and their stupid claims. Hope you're keeping well and looking forward to your comments when you see what they have done.

The pricing is ridiculous. The RTX4080 12GB is basically an RTX4060TI! This looks like Nvidia is trying it's best to clear Ampere stocks at RRP.

Japan is part of the western world.

 

[Yaayuh!]

I think a lot of people should just have a reality check and maybe just set money aside for the next round instead.

But then again, people spend hilarious amounts on keyboards... KEYBOARDS. lol.

Rekon the pound will ever recover ?

Tbf the only recent game I've played is S&box running on Source 2, and even though it's quite unfinished it runs pretty well for me.

It's not really like the late 90's/early 2000's where we had new games worth upgrading for, i discount Crysis because i was never fussed, and it didn't run that great even with good hardware then.

It might do eventually, but will be a very long time before it does.
Seems we are being effected the most with the global crisis, and other countries/Industries are not willing to invest in the UK due to a number of reasons.

But this is not the place to discuss politics.

hey, keyboards are cool

sure, we turn back on our nuclear plants, job done

Sure the pound will recover. Nothing stays the same forever.

Might take some time though (as in, years).

 

[Iron Man]

Saw on YouTube there is an MSI product launch event tomorrow. Hopefully some more info will come out then. I’m most interested in the gaming mode bios option on the new cards and seeing how far the boost clock is pushed up on this.

Gamble whether to buy now or hope the pound gets better sooner rather than later then.
