I remember this card being listed when i bought my 3090 way back in early november. i remember becuase i was debating if it was worth the extra £200 over my card ( £1529 ). so i reckon last years RRP would have been around £1700 ? oh how times have changed !

So they now selling for nearly £800 more, Wow, this makes me feel a little bit better for paying £2k for my ASUS 3090 Tuf OC today.
The sad thing, I cannot see the prices getting better anytime soon
Thats a good deal in todays market. crazy times when owning the latest gfx card feels like a privilege.

It was £1600 in september OCUK are charging the same price as scalpers now
£1600 is roughly what we are paying this month for some 3090s and that's excluding VAT, shipping, overheads and transaction fees...
So what exactly do you expect US to do?
and I'm not even talking about the HOF card...that's so obscenely expensive that you could half believe that they planned to fly over Business Class to hand deliver every one!
Seriously though, it's the manufacturers who need to be pressured into getting the pricing under control. The resellers are simply faced of 5-10% per month, month after month

£3k 3090's soon....
Politely, and respectfully, please stfu
People clearly prefer a retailer over auction scalpers, thus selling out.
@ScottiB I envy your patience
The 2000-series RTX Titan was always a £2000-£2400 card, it's not unreasonable that it's direct replacement commands similar/more money.
Nvidia completely ******* ******, *******, ****-the-bed with it's "MSRP" pricing. *******.
They completely underestimating demand, and over promised on production/yields. And that's without coin mining, covid, chinese new year, that ******* tanker, and Brexit.
If I get my preorder in 2021 I'd be happy/surprised.
The 3090 is not the Titan replacement else it would have been called a Titan and have Titan drivers, up till now it's the 2080ti replacement until proven otherwise by a 3080ti.
Better performance, same 24GB of faster VRAM, and described by Nvidia as "Titan-Class" - I think it's a fair comparison.
I very much doubt there will be a 3000-series Titan card, Nvidia has even killed off the Quadro branding.
If you want the GA102 core (3080/3090) with professional drivers, you're now looking at the RTX A6000, which is around £4-5k.
Nvidia always doubles the VRAM or there abouts on their top tier gaming GPU every couple of generations also Titan class performance is usually around 40% faster than their 80 non ti series rather than just 10-15%, Titans have also never been manufactured by AIBs.
Sure nvidia maybe trying to up sell the A6000 by holding back the driver package and that's if they don't end up releasing a real Titan later on 7nm but then the 3090 is squarely aimed at gamers and and by changing the name people think they are getting a cheap Titan rather than a price jacked ti.
Some nvidia marketing
The most demanding users need the best tools. TITAN RTX is built on NVIDIA’s Turing GPU architecture and includes the latest Tensor Core and RT Core technology for accelerating AI and ray tracing. It’s also supported by NVIDIA drivers and SDKs so that developers, researchers, and creators can work faster and deliver better results.
The NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 2080 Ti graphics card is built for gaming realism and performance. Its powerful NVIDIA Turing™ GPU architecture, breakthrough technologies, and 11 GB of next-gen, ultra-fast GDDR6 memory make it an ultimate gaming GPU.
Which one of these two sounds most like the 3090 marketing?
The GeForce RTX™ 3090 is a big ferocious GPU (BFGPU) with TITAN class performance. It’s powered by Ampere—NVIDIA’s 2nd gen RTX architecture—doubling down on ray tracing and AI performance with enhanced Ray Tracing (RT) Cores, Tensor Cores, and new streaming multiprocessors. Plus, it features a staggering 24 GB of G6X memory, all to deliver the ultimate gaming experience.

Which is all well and good, but there is no Silicon for a Titan, the GA102 is 3080/3080ti/3090/A6000
The next biggest chip is the GA100, which is for the A100 beast.
You're right though, 'Some nvidia marketing" - they've completely ******* the situation. Here's hoping Intel will be competitive.
