So you can't list pictures only on Ebay anymore, but people can advertise the full description of an item and sell an empty box or just the fan still lol.

They would have to say that it is just the box etc. TBH I wouldn't buy even a new 30xx from there - even at MSRP. You have no idea if it has been run 24x7 mining then put into original box.

They do the exact same thing picture sellers do, list the full name of the item then box or cooler only. It looks like the full thing of course then its stated its only the box.

They don't let you do it for pictures so why is it allowed to do it for just the box or a CPU cooler?
 
I managed to get a 3080ti FE yesterday too but have slight buyers remorse. Think I will keep it only because it seems I can get about £450 for my 1.5 year old 5700xt which will somewhat lesson the pain.

That's the only good thing at the minute, older cards still fetch good money so it offsets the higher cost of the new ones.

I agree but you either pay up or do without, you are free to choose either.

I would not buy from a scalper period and would do without.

Yup this.

I hate the price as well, but it is what it is.

I'll never say paying over £1k for a graphics card is good value for money, as it's clearly not.

I will not be buying NVIDIA's next release.
And that's mainly due to how expensive and a pain in the arse this Ampere release has been.

I bought a 3080Ti but I don't consider it in any way a good deal. I really hope that this doesn't mean £1k for a graphics card is the new normal.

Me too, having looked at the new Battlefield gameplay I may need to upgrade if I am to play at 1440p with everything on high/ultra. But can't see these GPU prices going down this year

They haven't got around to picking mine yet. Now my next concern. Anyone know the minimum power for a 3080Ti? I have a 650W Seasonic PSU. Hopefully enough? Don't really want to spend even more on another PSU...

The recommendation stated on the installation manual for the 3080 is 750w, and I've currently got a Corsair rm650, so have bought the rm750 on Overclockers to replace it. Everything I saw online was that people were generally in agreement that 750w was fine, but some decided to err on the side of caution and get Battersea power station installed in to their PCs to make sure it's enough.

Weirdly, I'm now in a position where I might select a game based on its need for a hefty graphics card! Only really play Elite Dangerous on PC, and I haven't touched that for months. Oh, and Total War games I suppose, they could use the extra grunt.

This is probably our best deal at the moment (on the Nvidia side) since the graphics card hasn't undergone the inevitable second batch price hike. We've found this with every launch this year. Whilst we can't hit Nvidia's MSRP with the first batch, there's generally a 10% or more increase over the next couple of deliveries. The earlier cards have increased by over 40% in many instances :(

Thanks ScottiB, i really wanted to go down the self build route but going to take a good look at that as reasonably priced for a prebuild and loosing hope of getting anything...literally just put up a post about going for a ryzen 5 5600x instead of more powerful cpu so i can upgrade to AM5 in a couple of years or so

I'm lucky in that I've got a very understanding wife who let me buy the 3090FE without much hassle. You can tell she's very understanding as she also let me buy an Arcade1Up Star Wars machine which has to stand in the corner of our lounge as there's no room elsewhere for it. :D

There's really no point in going for more grunt that 5600X for gaming...whether it's an i5 11400F, 5600X or 5900X, the actual gaming performance is almost identical. These days there's almost no games that are properly CPU limited.
