Is that just in the UK or have the US and EU prices increased as well ?.... i will assume the change is because £1=$1.10 rather than £1=$1.14 when they were announced. £20 extra isn't the end of the world when its a four figure sum , fingers crossed it doesn't go up anymore

Why would the US price change and no it has not. Its a USD product, the price is set in USD and thus the price has not changed. Pound is weaker, be glad NVIDIA only moved it £20, they are soaking quite a bit up there but generally have greater profit margins so can do so.

I'd imagine there will be a surge of early buyers for nvidia to milk but give it 3 or 4 months and the sales dry up you'll be able to pick up a 4090 for 1200 quid.

Nar the pound is too weak atm and the outlook is worse for it

I wasn't sure if it was a price hike for the 4090 as a whole rather than just the UK which is why i questioned if it has gone up in EU/US as well but thanks for confirming it hasn't.

Gee, how generous of them.

Anyone would think times have been tough for them for the last 2yrs :rolleyes:

The pound moving around by a few percent will make little difference. If the cards are not selling nvidia has no choice but to cut prices.

4000 won't drop atm or for months and months pound is way to weak

Do all the 4090s require 4x PCI-e? any versions that require 3?

Ayahuasca · 10 Oct 2022 at 16:17

Is there any chance at all the 4070 and 4060 are going to be reasonably priced? £650 for a 4070 is not going to go down well for example.

everyone should be watching the gilt market...atm as it's the same just before the BoE stepped in

unless the BoE steps in again your pension is f@@ked. And if they do step in your mortgage is f@@ked. aka the pound will drop hard again under one dollar

Unlikely, seems everything will have moved up one notch for price tier.

Some of 3 yes, Inno3D iChill X3 is a 16pin to 3x 8 pin connectors, included in the box.

There is no such thing as 'reasonably priced' in the GPU market any more.

I got my Corsair cable today, it's quiet nice, will be decent for cable management and bends well, think it's around 40-50mm before it's at a pretty much 90 degree bend, prob could do better but I don't want to risk it.

Sorry to ask.
But which one to go for a Zotac Amp Extreme AIRO or Strix OC in your opinion?

I don't want to miss out this time around.

We are all in the same boat atm Nothing is reasonable for graphic cards anymore for the most average buyer unless you have £800-1000 spare

Got more stock of Zotac, it is also cheaper but money aside I'd be tempted by the Zotac I think looks a great design and 5yr warranty if you register within 30 days of purchase.

That pink serial number sticker right at the visual edge of the backplate on the Zotac AMP though

Any idea if it can be removed without affecting warranty?
