It'll be interesting to see which of the two FEs pop up in stock next from Nvidia

If the lines around the block and enthusiasm for the 4090 is any indication, the reception for the 4080 will be awesome.

4080FE on eBay now for £1999.

Won't be buying at that price!

I remember when you could buy a fairly decent gaming rig for £1300.

I remember it wasn't that long ago when i was running xfire 5870's on a intel 3770k for not much more than that lol! Those days are well and truly over.

These are so comically priced we're going to be lucky if we see a 4060 under £899

The "cheap" Gainward is out of stock.

That’s somewhat optimistic given scalped 4090FE’s are sitting at £1950 unsold… guess they aren’t too clever!

Unless it sells, in which case I guess they are very clever.

You can get a couple cards at MSRP online.
I found a couple of places selling the Zotac at MSRP.

RavenXXX2 · 16 Nov 2022 at 15:24

Msrp 4080s still available.

Iron Man · 16 Nov 2022 at 15:26

The prices on these 4080 cards are ridiculous and that’s coming from a 4090 owner

Skilid · 16 Nov 2022 at 15:27

You used to be able to report items on eBay for price gouging. Seems they've removed that post pandemic...

nitram100 · 16 Nov 2022 at 15:27

3060Ti FE was the last graphics card I'll purchase. I only run 1080p 144hz and when the 3060Ti starts lagging I'll move onto consoles.

Unbelievable, this is the normal pricing now? we've gone from £650 (3080) to 1.3k???

When I first seen the GPU page on the site I thought I had clicking on the 4090s then realized it said 4080. What is Nvidia smoking to come up with them prices! Madness!

Boomstick777 · 16 Nov 2022 at 15:36

The prices are really really high, the card actually looks great in terms of power consumption / performance. But the prices..

Keep them warm for me guys I'll pick one up from MM sometime next year

varkanoid · 16 Nov 2022 at 15:36

Putting it another way look at a system upgrade.
So GPU, Motherboard, DDR5 and CPU at least would cost me £2200.

Be a while before I update mine again.

I have noticed an interesting tactic used by scalpers where they pull an item that was for sale so that it shows "out of stock" or whatever you-missed-out message a given site shows....only for the same card to go back on sale, from the same seller, shortly thereafter.

They also raise and lower prices to create the illusion of activity.

It's like dragging a lure through the water to convince fish to bite.

When I first heard about Nvidia's efforts to manipulate stock levels, I thought it was silly to put in effort so that they could sell less product, but it makes sense in the context of consumer psychology.

I think milking the FOMO market first has been standard procedure. It just looks like they are trying to up their psychology game this time.

OCUK using the tactic of reshuffling their listings so it looks like the cards are selling. The Asus Tuf 4080 was the first on the page but after half an hour it's moved to the middle and the KFA is in front with a coming soon sign. It was never in stock in the first place.
