On topic question, can people tell me what these were selling for today? I didn't have the time at work to look and was too focusssed in the other thread also.

All i can see is one tripple fan at £400

OcUK sold at £239.99 and upwards.

There are advantages to been an active member on the forums.

Been meaning to post more frequently for years. The free delivery looks so good.

Thank you! it's going in the diary! Hopefully more luck next time.

Out of curiosity did you get enough stock to allocate any for full builds?

Yes the builds department has stock, but on the more expensive high-end triple cooler cards, I believe they expect better priced stock in coming weeks.

It still definitely is the main problem.

Nvidia not making enough die's is the problem.

Thanks for looking after us gamers and regular customers, Gibbo.

Managed to snag myself an RTX 3050 for £239

I've been shopping here for over a decade and long may it continue!

Not enough die's for people to mine on...because demand for something like that is endless (so it would be impossible for Nvidia to do so). Yes.

General public - as far as I know - saw three models at ~265-270 . Most were about £320. One or two, looked very nice although (IMHO) might not be best in £ to performance ratio at £400s.

Ordered a 3050 @ £239.99

@Gibbo and team thanks for the due diligence and going to all the effort to make sure members get a fairly priced GPU to actually use for gaming.

Managed to get a palit 3050 at a decent price (same as above) for my son. Shipping out tonight as well. Could not have asked for any better.

Damn, didn't know about that. I can't see it on my account. Is this the store.overclockers version?

OldKitMan · 27 Jan 2022 at 17:49

Cheers for the £239.99 3050 OCUK - appreciate it.

Ignore. Being a typical blind user. Staring me right in the face.

Got any left? if so, I'll have one

jklc · 27 Jan 2022 at 18:01

Long time member n shopper here and I got one of the £239 Palit cards too, thanks OCUK!

But the scalping is due to the mining! It's just one big snowball effect.

How anyone can think that the issues we face are NOT because many of the cards were (and still are but to a lesser extent) literal money printers and ended up being free after a few months is beyond me.

Something that is free and generates money will have never-ending demand.

The Palit was what I wanted, but I've already ordered a Gigabyte one for my nephew from here, and I wont risk ordering that one for myself just yet. Plus, I'll be busy enough finalisaing my nephews PC this weekend, so I can wait another week or 2. He's has been gaming on NVidia GT 710 for over a year (with a Ryzen 5600X).
