NVIDIA 4000 Series

Really hope you are right! Unfortunately they just return the cards within the return window though.

@MidKnight odd, just checked and it definitely says 16th for the 4080 launch.

I believe you but they are on their site right now - obviously cannot say where etc but I just double checked and they are they - I wonder if they are accidentally selling them early?

I also think people are nervous about having warranty issues if they buy from someone that isn't a store. Certainly puts me off.

Defo for sure, Fat chance I'm shelling out almost 2k for a GPU without a warranty, These scalpers must be living in cloud cuckoo land, You might get the odd desperate person buying one but not now they're readily available in most stores.

Me personally I'd say this is fantastic no one's buying em and I hope they lose out on em as well if some places charge restock fees etc.

Are we in a dream land? please tell me this is dream land, I want to wake from this hell one day.

Hah, for some reason the 4080 just really isn’t tickling my tastebuds at these prices.

Yes basically 3090 prices now for 80 class cards.. Wait till you see the price of the 4080 asus strix

I don’t get why anybody would buy a 4080 at that price? If you’re willing to shell out £1400 for a GPU, surely you would pay a bit more for way more performance?

Exactly what nvidia want until they deplete ampere stock, then they will drop price.

Or until 13 December and then the 4080 drops value

 

[labbby]

I ordered one so you can all make fun of me.

psa: amd announces unexpectedly high cardboard shipping copper opportunity costs double rrp on new cards

 

[Noxia]

If those prices are reflective of all retailers, I'm convinced this is to make people buy the older Gen cards so they can get rid of them and then they'll drop them afterwards.
Because an £1100 3080/90ti suddenly doesn't seem so bad compared to those prices.

Or "oh the 4090 is only a bit extra, I'll get one of those"

Edit. As below

Honest question - why?

Surely if 1.5k doesn’t put you off then 1.7k for a much better card is a no brainer?

Edit - also let us know if it actually arrives tomorrow.

 

[brostradamus]

lol either jensen doesnt want to sell the 4080 or maybe he doesnt want to sell the 4090, which can mean either of the 2 scenarios - very low stock for 4080 or extremely low stock for 4090 depending on which one it is

Or cable melting.

 

[Gerard]

Jaysuz! @ the prices.

 

[Captain]

Scalping GPUs is over, be it £1000 or £1700.

The scalpers will be back the moment nVidia release a card for £800 and then hold stock to create demand.

 

[gooseuk]

I think with my discount I can get via a family member, I can get a 4090 for the same price as a 4080 by the looks of things. Even so, I think it's team red for me this time if they not mental cost

 

[Naff8000]

Can't wait for the 4080 reviews.
