RTX 3070 Price - are they really worth it?

Wafers, chips, kernels, bytes, forks; amazing how much overlap there is between electronics and food production.

Just the other day Windows complained that my PC was low on corn and I would have to close some apps.

Ha ha good joke dude!
The point I was making is lots of different commodities are up in price across the board which does not look good for your national currency and GPU prices.

I think that's the pont of the scheme, to give members exclusive access. In fact you'd qualify with 40 more posts for one of the schemes (50 posts + 6 months membership).

I'd say sub 600 for the 3070 is reasonable.

This exclusive access appears to be broken.

prices are coming down slowly on the bay, but as we know without warranty, 800 for a 3070 with no warranty, thats **** no x2

Anyone who entertains £900 for a 3070 should have just brought a 2080ti for £1000 3 years ago and had 3 years of enjoyment out of it by now not to mention the extra 3gb VRAM.

You're comparing the past to today to make sense of what's happening now like extrapolating.
A lot of traders do this by drawing trend lines, support/resistance, repeating chart patterns etc but then they fall into a trap.
People who use stats and past history to predict the future usually get taken apart in the markets.

Bottom line what happened 3 years ago is well in the past and people WILL buy overpriced GPU's, there are simply too many who want a GPU versus a handful in stock.

I'm not a trader but aren't these two points saying exactly the same thing?


Copper is on a bit of a run at the moment but there is probably less than £10 worth of copper in a GPU so that makes it hard to justify being a bargain at £900

Not just copper lots of basic materials are up in price across the board.

People like you farming on their PC is one of the reasons we're in this predicament !
