Gibbo did a deal on here for a 3060 for £300 iirc. It was a top end card too not the cheap crap like inno3d or zotac.
Why didn't you buy that?
it will be the new normal for a while
prices in my line of work have been going up month on month
and now we are getting europe wide shortages of products again especially semi conductors and if the haulage industry is not getting parts everyone prices will go up
The government have caused big inflation, prices every where have gone up and surpassed wage increases, so GPUs will no doubt will be more expensive now without the current situation issues.
think we had a perfect double wammy in August is all. Eth crashed and a huge shipment of LHR 60TI's hit the market at RRP (must have been manufacturer mandated ). we're due to get another huge shipment of gpu's to the UK in a few weeks if we go by previous patterns, however if Eth is still climbing by then, then most will be scooped by miners anyway, as the LHR is 70% cracked and there is whispers of higher percentage unlocks over the horizon, making it so they're willing to take the plunge.

It is insane isn't it?
The regular non XT 6600 should be releasing this week. As above post, it should launch at £325ish going by launch XT prices.. however who knows what retailers will be listing them for? Maybe @Gibbo has some stock coming.

I think AMD will offer rebates so retailers can meet MSRP during launch day without making a loss. That's what I think happened with the XT.
There must be a reason why they could afford those prices for such a limited time.

Before the 6600 xt there were reports that it was launching in huge volume and that AMD was offering incentives for MSRP, but board partners only had a limited stock at those prices (I think they sold out in the first few days). After that, there was good stock so prices didn't go up much, for quite some time.
I've heard nothing about the stock situation for this launch.
Nvidia and AMD graphics cards prices are getting worse, now 83% over MSRP

You could be correct on that one but from the looks of things it`s mark up time for the Christmas shopping season.
Yup that article, the bar chart of prices pretty much what I had in my head.
Concerning because I cannot see GPUs going back to normal anytime soon, I reckon it'll be years now, something needs to happen, I dunno Intel stepping in and putting some decent competition etc. Otherwise I cannot see an end anytime soon, and things in the short term including next year, getting worse.
