Please can someone explain why a $699 card is going to cost £649?

Makes a change from the usual £=$

Just noticed the 2pm release time, that's great, bang on when i will be in work and not have a chance to visit a computer.

I'll have to be lightning quick on my phone.

That's the usual release time, nothing new there.

Probably thinking 9am pst. Game demos used to drop around that time, when games had demos

699 dollars does not include any local taxes. In the UK, we pay VAT at 20% which works out at £105 at current exchange rate since $699 equates to £526.

I guess £650 gives a reasonable buffer for variations in exchange rate as directly at present with VAT included, it works out at £631.

Plus their are usually shipping costs etc which adds a little on top.

1/3 of the price?

Although if you can get a good deal on a used 2080ti then I reckon it will still be the better card due due to the 11gb of vram.

if you have a 2080to there is no reason for it

if you don't, the 3070 is better until it runs out of vram which is pretty soon lol

What I find the most offensive is that no one has got a clear answer on price or availability from Gibbo or OCUK. Happy to take the £'s but what would a update to the original post take, no effort as the thread is cleary being read by OCUK.

What do you mean? The prices are available on the ocuk website?

You think come 2pm on the 17th they will be that price?

ROG Tax coming!

Some of the prices have already changed since posting their main thread - I thought the Strix was bad enough at £799, now it’s £849!!
