*** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 4090 STOCK SITUATION & OcUK YOUTUBE REVIEWS - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION ***

hang on, your stock is booked at 1.16 doesnt that mean RN the cards should be more expensive as it is 1.14 currently.

£1899 card - 12% margin = £1695
take VAT away = £1412
convert to $ @ 1.16 = $1637

now do the same convert back to £ under1.14 the same card should be £1930 which is an increase not a decrease.

anyway above is irrelevant as all your stocks are booked at 1.16 so the cards sold since day one to now all have same base cost given the same sku; there has been no VAT change; so the only thing that changes is retail margin or somehow you are getting discounts/subsidies from supplier/maunfacture.

The dollar rate changings daily, hourly and by the second, we have stock arriving every day. The latest batch of Zotac stock arrived start of this week and when it was booked the system booked it at 1.165 rate, hence some nice prices on latest batch of Zotac.

Looks like mainly Zotac and Palit left in stock but people seem to be avoiding these brands? Are they really that bad?

Nothing wrong with them at all, i have the Palit and it's great, it's just a brand thing and people like having a certain brand.

Stop complaining about the price. A gpu like almost anything is worth what you're willing to pay for it. Ocuk like any business are allowed to charge what they like. Gibbo has gone above and beyond explaining their pricing policy and they're very competitive.

If you want a 4090 buy one if you don't want to pay for it don't buy one. If you want the price to drop wait. Or go AMD when they're released

Exactly, who gives a monkey's about exchange rates and pricing blah blah blah.

Either buy or don't, shop at OCUK or don't. You have the choice, just like OCUK has the choice to run it's business how they see fit and they don't have to justify how they cost things to us. We are more than capable to search the internet and shop around if we choose to.

Zotac is selling like crazy to be honest, averaging 30-40 units per day with majority of sales on the £1799 part, we just have ample stock, as does competitors no doubt and Zotac. :)
4090 sales are still very strong just stock on some partners has been strong in past week or so, pound improved as well, cost came down. :)

Excellent, well just bought the £1979 Zotac card and hopefully it’s decent!

Holy moly the Zotac if I order from UK, even with my local VAT added back, saves me £400 over the Strix that I have pre-ordered. If only it had 2x HDMI. :(

EDIT - Actually I don't 'need' 2x HDMI, I can use 1x DP and 1x HDMI and get the same effect. Hmm very tempting...

EDIT EDIT - Ok I could not resist ordering the Zotac Trinity from OCUK to my country for that kind of saving... that makes it only a little more than I bought my RTX3090 for. In fact the saving over the Strix I pre-ordered pays for a new case and almost a new ATX3.0 PSU. Fingers crossed the card doesn't burn up. :)

Just asking a daft question that I feel like I know the answer to! Why are certain graphics cards more expensive than others? haha.

Am I right in thinking it's boost clock speed, cooling temps/sound, and things like perceived (or real) value of brand quality and their customer services etc??

its just brand tax, it has nothing to do with the quality or the customer service. people prefer to buy asus/msi so they jack the prices knowing their rabid fanbase will buy it regardless

You pay more for the brand just like when you go to the supermarket. The performance of these 4090 cards are all similar so design and price seems like the most important consideration for most.

Given all the glass cases & RGB lights, you're in a pretty small minority on here then.
