That's an interesting price difference on a 1080...

Overclockers has the GEFORCE GTX 1080 WINDFORCE listed at £589.99 but on a different site (not sure i am allowed to mention it) I can see it listed at £479.99. That's a hell of a price difference for the same card. I thought overclockers prices were usually the best, no?
 
oh, ok. usually when I am shopping around OC prices are the best. their loss i guess, that is a big difference in price though...
 
sadly i find a lot of the time ocuk to be the most expensive for a lot of things especially when you need to factor in delivery charges.
 
also got to factor in when they bought the stock, what was the exchange rate as they buy in dollars . could have been bought in a large bulk at height of mining crazy with poor exchange rate etc
 
GPU prices are all over the place at the moment due to things like mining - some have simply been priced up and never adjusted others have been bought in at a higher or lower price depending on fluctuations and the retailer can't really afford to adjust that price, if the overall market adjusts down, until the stock bought in at a certain price has sold (or they are forced to drop prices if stock hangs around long enough).

You definitely have to shop around at the moment for GPUs due to this - I've seen base model 1070s in some places more expensive than OC model 1080s, etc. (probably due to the comparable attractiveness for mining at some points in time).
