Almost definitely not. I managed to get £200 for my GTX 980 and upgraded to a 3060ti at almost MSRP. That is a big difference in performance, but the 6500XT is such a weak card with little memory that I imagine performance would be almost identical to your 980ti.

Agreed Gibbo. Crypto just seems like something to facilitate gambling, money laundering & tax evasion.
I've made thousands from it

A 980Ti looks a good chunk faster than a 6500XT if these charts are anything to go by (the 6500xt is similar to a 580 which the 980Ti beats).:

The 980Ti doesn't have a performance hit from running PCI-E 3.

That system got abused by some very selfish and backstabbing forum members who bought graphics cards to sell on ebay. They ruined it for everybody.

The poll just shows that a lot of FE cards were sold to hardware enthusists. An enthusiast forum isn't representative of the rest of the UK. I've spoken to regular gamers who have never heard the term FE before.
Ditto.
But I don't try and evade the tax man, so he gets his cut too.
I can't believe you assumed it's a he, how dare you

And suddenly the 6500xt doesn't look as bad
No, it's still dog ****.

Just got an email from Nvidia, they say launch is 2pm on the 27th (today). Not sure if Overclockers will put up on site before then?
Permabanned
Overclockers won't be launching any earlier or anyone else.
Launch date and time is chosen by Nvidia and companies will sign an NDA as to stick to it too.

I've seen cards go up maybe 1-2 minutes early, but as @Indigo says, they will have a contracted schedule set by Nvidia.
Compared to the 100% more cost RTX 3050 ? Ok then
TPU have been busy:

So looks like there a bunch of 170mm ones from Gainward/Palit/PNY and some 172mm from MSI and a 178mm from Asus. Whether all or any of those will be available is another question.
Good lord Asus, what are you doing. triple slot! I bet it costs ~£100 over the already inflated price. might there be a £600 3050?
Way too much FOMO going on lately.
£180 card with 4GB vram and matches rx480 8GB performance would be laughed out of the door pre-pandemic
Whatever this 3050 is - beats 2060 with DLSS on so sits between 1660 and 2060 - let’s say a 1660Ti if you like native res gaming costing nearly £300 at MSRP that will also be laughed out of the door pre-pandemic.
just face it, we got crap piled on crap and dressed with more crap…it is a crap sandwich.

Be a nice GPU for a laptop

Read a page or so back from Gibbo, no 3050's will be available for sale from OCUK today. So they may appear but you wont be able to buy any.
the 3050 mobile GPU was out last year. They have been appearing in £700-£800 laptops for a while now.
We will list the none MSRP SKU's for pre-order which are obviously more expensive.
MSRP SKU I shall attempt to do something for forum members, which I shall do as a reply in this thread telling people to look at the secret forum for the link along with a new thread in the GPU Deal section which is for members with higher post count.
