The only saving grace for those who are buying the 7900xt(x), 4070ti, 4080, 4090.... is that they aren't getting bent over and railed as hard as those who spent £1400+ for a 3090 for that sweet 10-15% performance boost, if that...

If we use other cards as a benchmark, its surprising a 70 class GPU is only slightly behind a 900 class GPU? Was that the case last gen?
AMD provided no competition this generation. Why are people surprised at the pricing.
Last gen the 6700 XT was competitive against the 3070.
I would do exactly what nvidia have done.

3070 vs 2080ti.
Why do you expect nvidia to compete against themself?
The reason the 3070 was cheap was because of AMD. Not generosity.

Hi @Gibbo, @montymint said I should tag you here asking for an update on my order, ST5206330.

They will be either trying to take solace from the hope that some paid that much for 3080 or they don't actually care what other people buy.

Haha yup funny thing is a good chunk of people were happy to pay scalpers/etailers 1-2+k for 3080/3090/6800xt/6900xt 1-2 years ago there but now that Nvidia/amd are doing it, the outrage!

Miners, not gamers.

Plenty of gamers bought for them prices too
Where they at now, plenty of stock of next gen cards. So miners paid inflated prices.

It's £1600 and you can't mine on it to pay for it, sales were bound to slow down.
Agreed. They've been available for 10 hours now on their site which has to be a record. Could demand be starting to set up?
Complaining how they now have to pay Nvidia/amd 1+k instead of paying dirty scalpers 1+k

I think there was also a massive boom in gaming during covid. People likely built/refreshed their rigs while sat at home all the time…
I mean I previously would only upgrade every few years at the earliest…assuming many are the same or less frequent… so perhaps just no immediate demand??

then jack the price up and lower the quality!
