I think they are trying to criticise Nvidia not OcUK,as AMD has still managed to drop prices in GBP despite this!

Yeah it wasn't a dig a OCUK at all , just highlighting the fact you still can't buy them for msrp apart from the FE that to this day still sells out is seconds when they go live at £650

I have zero interest in a 4080 at even the base MSRP.
Too-much money for not-enough performance.

This is another turing moment for Jensen, they did not not sell that well, and ampere came in much cheaper as a result. Ada is a joke pricing wise and it will show in Nvidia's next earnings call.

One can only hope so.

No way… 4090 cards are starting to the £1.7k range.I think they will still try , no limit to the level of stupid
There are going to be some dumb people.
They will still try without a doubt , most may be returned after 2 weeks unsold but that wont stop them from trying .... the sad thing is some people will still bite at the scalper prices if stock drys up
Currently i can see 4090 in stock for £1800 , at £1700 they seem to sell out pretty quick ( FE gone in 60 secs ) , Scalpers will try fill there boots between £1270 - £1800 for the 4080 i reckon although hopefully they get stuck with them and have to return them
it is a stunning card and will hear no complaints from mePSA:
I LIKE AND ENJOY USING MY 4090
No amount of doom and gloom from the posters who spend all their waking hours crapping in this thread can convince me otherwise.

Most of us are annoyed because Nvidia is jacking up the price of the RTX3060 and RTX3070 replacements,far more than even the RTX4090 relative to the RTX3090/RTX3090TI.
At this rate the RTX3050 replacement will be a £500 RTX4060!

It does seem like their end game is to have the 4060 at £650 ... how about a 4050 for £500, DLSS 3 and its fake frames will save the dayMost of us are annoyed because Nvidia is jacking up the price of the RTX3060 and RTX3070 replacements,far more than even the RTX4090 relative to the RTX3090/RTX3090TI.

Nvidia are indeed a bunch of greedy ******** .The only owners they really looked after this generation was the 3090 > 4090 owner and basically stuck up 2 fingers to the rest . Imo the 4080 16bg should have been £900 or so and the £1270 should have been reserved for the 4080Ti

But the issue is the RTX4060 will be based around a GA107 successor,ie,instead of being the third GPU chip,it will be probably the fourth chip. The RTX4080 16GB uses the second chip in the line-up. Last generation that was the RTX3070/RTX3070TI and previous to that it was the RTX2080/RTX2070 Super and GTX1080.
Wait for Nvidia to do a "Super" rebrand in time for Atomic Heart in February. Even if an RTX4070 Super was £700 and close to an RTX4080 16GB,this would still be a hefty price increase over the RTX3070. This would be the same price as the RTX2080 which everyone criticised for being overpriced. Nvidia will get the Turing price rise they always wanted,but AMD managed to do enough over the last few years to thwart it a bit.
Then wait and see how the press will wax lyrical on Nvidia offering 90% of the £1200 RTX4080 16GB for "only" £700. Also wait until Ampere does not do well in Atomic Heart(conveniently) so its a "next generation" RT upgrade.

When I got back into PC gaming it was with the 980FE > Maxwell Titan X > 1080FE > Pascal Titan X > 2080ti > 3090FE > 4090FE. Maxwell Titan was a huge bump over the 980. Pascal Titan X was very good too. 2080ti disappointing, 3090 great uplift again and 4090 looks to follow suit. I remember the first PC I built for gaming, Pentium 2, Diamond Display card, Soundblaster Sound Card, Power VR & SLI Voodoo 2...building one back then on window 98....f'ing nightmare

...what locations online actually work for inserting images into these comments?
Soldato
Imgur is the best IMO.
Soldato
This is (unfortunately) the way.
What I find paradoxical is they complain about the price in many reviews, yets still award 5 out of 5 stars. Price is a major factor and a GPU (or any hardware) should not be reviewed purely inside a tech nerd bubble as if price is no object.
EDIT: To be fair some reviews did knock the score for the joke pricing, but the main tech sites seemed to moan about the price and soon forgot when doing the score.
