In fairness you can say the exact same about the Kingpin cards if you also factor out the extra stuff for the extreme/LN2 overclockers

That is a fair point, I expect to see the sapphire become an overclockers dream then

What the hell..... £799.99 no thanks.

Edit: I've noticed they are £630 ~ else where so ill happily wait.

For all of Vegas problems if the price was right i.e below it’s better performing competition then it might sell a few units but by pricing it higher than even the next competition tier up is madness for gamers but I suspect that’s no longer the target market!

Just noticed that OCUK just stuck another £40 on the Nitro 56 cards today. Disappointing.

Vega has to be one of the worst GPU releases for the gamers.

It is and OCUK's pricing is a joke, both the 56 and 64 are at 600 and 800 respectively.

Wow, that's a £350 premium over the August release price oO

Basic supply and demand though. If miners want them to make money then ocuk would be a fool to sell them cheaply. Why shouldn’t they cash in on the mining craze when everyone else is.

One things for sure these aren’t gaming cards!

And guess who gets the new number name for it.

I was told by a well respected rep for Sapphire that they tell retailers the RRP OCUK are asking too much for this card

HEADRAT · 19 Dec 2017 at 07:25

Ahhhh come on it Christmas

Martini1991 · 19 Dec 2017 at 07:46

Even at ~650 it's too much.
That's 1080Ti money lol.

£630 now. I at least hope these increases partly go to the manufacturers so they can invest into production and not entirely into the pocket of vendors.

People keep referencing the release price, but forget to mention that it was subsidised by AMD, for a limited number of cards.

Unfortunately Vega has just been disaster, from most people's point of view.

Bloody hell!, they've whacked em up again! :eek:

OcUK, you should be ashamed!

EDIT: Just checked the 64s again, and they havn't whacked anymore onto them yet, still £800

Makes the Titan V fantastic value!

LoadsaMoney · 19 Dec 2017 at 18:24

Those 56s are selling, only 7 left! :eek:

It's nothing to do with the manufacturers MSRP, that would be set in stone as per AMD's pricing, any increase in price we are seeing here now, is purely down to OCUK being the only place to have stock and capitalising on that fact by charging a premium. It's nothing but pure price gouging.

If people keeping buying, they will keep upping the price while stock supply is low.

If they cared about cashing in on the mining craze then they wouldn't limit one per customer or whatever it is, you could just phone up and take all their stock in a heartbeat.
