Thanks guys, just heard about an Asus bug and saw that lol.

Trigger the test via the '?' you should see the figures change as it puts some load on the card.

On my Rog Strix B650 Motherboard, does this mean I'm running my games at PCIe gen 1!? or am I getting confused lol.

hit the ? next to the bus interface speed and it will perform a render test and PCI should go up to you mb max so either 4.0 x16 or 3.0 x16 .

Sadly Nvidia is playing the long game and investors are now resigned to the fact that sales will be low this quarter.

What Nvidia is waiting for is for all RTX3000 stock to dry up because at that point if you want a high end GPU you have to buy a 4080/4090 at inflated prices or go AMD. Only AMD can prevent what happens next year when RTx3000 supply is gone.

So you will not see Nvidia drop prices, no matter how many 4080's are on the shelves, they are going to hold their poker face and wait to see how gamers respond to having no RTx3000 alternatives to buy. If gamers respond by buying AMD then Nvidia will have to drop price, otherwise they won't.

So if you guys want to see the 4080 price come down, buy all the 7900XTX and 7900XT stock that's available and keep buying it, only that will force Nvidia to lower prices. Buying older Nvidia cards will NOT make Nvidia lower its RTX4000 prices

Not to mention jensen can't backtrack on his words now, if he does he will look an absolute fool.

I see the the Asus Strix Gaming OC 4080 has had its first price cut (£60)..down to 'only' £1589.00

Good, good, keep it up, only another £589 to go....

Yeah, the landed price must have improved with a better £/$ exchange rate hence the price drop...

Plenty of stock too, 9 available on Friday and they've booked an additional 20 yesterday for a total of 29 today.

The amount of stock will only continue to build up, will be interesting to see if ocuk will continue to buy in more stock knowing full well that FE drops are just sitting around right now.

FE italy, spain and france all still showing in stock, it's absolutely insane how bad it is for a newly launched product.

Scalpers obviously not as stupid in Europe Vs uk.

You know things are bad when Gibbo isn't claiming everything is "flying off the shelves" and sales are even better than last gen etc...

The 4080 is actually a very good gpu , excellent performance per watt and a sensible framebuffer. If they did a version without the mammoth cooler ( it just does not need it) and without the problematic 12 pin connector ( nothing wrong with 2 x 8 pin) and then priced it sensibly they would be selling bucketloads.

I kinda feel sorry for retailers though as they can't adjust prices below msrp or if they do im guessing they would take a loss unless they have some deal going on behind the scenes. They can only buy in stock at what the AIB's sell them at plus a margin on top. Only way to really get a good deal is if the FE dropped massively which gives the AIB partners wiggle room to adjust as well?

I blame NV for the most part, but let's not pretend retailers aren't scalping as well, people had prices of 4090's going up while they had them in their baskets, they're just as bad.

This is true, i remember that happening for the 3000 series as well. Some people seeing as much as 30-50£ price hike upon adding it to basket. **** poor behaviour that...

Another good reason never to buy anything on release, no-one whose desperate enough to buy a GPU on day one and knows they're in a race to do so is going to worry about get an extra scalping while they check out.

I don't even believe they sold out just removed from the store to create hype that they sold so people in two minds later will suffer FOMO and click buy and then a day later return or cancel the order when common sense kicks back in. They were removed right before midnight which was funny to see and pretended they sold out.

Imagine if that was the case, shows how desperate the situation has become when you have to pull tactics like that lol!

Yep, they can't do that with the 4080 as they know there's no demand anyway.
