Unfortunately cost have explodes for several reasons, GPU prices increases direct from board partners, secondly memory prices increases and of course due to shortage. But shortage aside a 1080Ti is now around $120 more for me to buy in, that is before the vendor decides to add shortage premiums or having to buy from distributor who wants to sell me a card at the same price I sell online at.

The shortage is very real, it will get worse this month due to shipments now stopping due to Chinese New Year, the only light at the end of the tunnel is the crash in crypto currencies may put some miners off.

However the miners are still there, so are our competitors who will buy all our stock up the very moment we put prices such as the above online.

The Asus Strix 1080Ti OC is the best deal, I am fortunate that I was buying 100's of these cards before the crysis was a reality, hence I have old stock and hence why I can offer it below the the price we used to sell at which was £799 with the odd £749 deal, well it is back to £749 for first 60 cards.

Once voucher allocation is used or once Friday arrives, the codes will cease working.


DO NOT!

This is and I repeat a deal soley for our gaming forum members, keep it to this thread and keep it low key, because I assure you if a miner gets these codes they will attempt to buy the stock, or even a competitor as the re-buys are vastly higher now due to the memory prices essentially now being double what they were three months ago.

Over to you and yes the prices that once was, are gone for a very long time, maybe forever as manufacturing cost have gone up considerably, if it was not for the GBP improvement, it would be worse.

On the flip side, CPU and other components have seen some decreases due to the stronger pound, you only need to look at 7700K and 8700K pricing here and elsewhere for proof of that and desktop memory has finally flattened.

This is the best we can offer, it is certainly cheaper than elsewhere, I picked the gamers favourite brands. We cannot do other cards simply as our stock is on its knees and we need our pricing very high to limit sales, it is that simple and to ensure we have stock to continue system production.

Plus of course the cards gamers never purchased traditionally, such as 570 will not be discounted, if we get a good supply of 580 however we will look to do something again like I did in the past, but right now all I can offer is the VEGA 56, but do be quick as we sold 12 today at full price.

Keep shun, make use of the codes, it won't happen again most likely.

Great prices for the Nvidias, but £600 for a Vega 56, you're having a laugh there.

I will be open, my cost is $607, add shipping and that is for volume. As such my landed cost is around £450, were making £50 with the voucher discount, that is really very tiny margins.

The cost are vastly higher now and there is no longer any rebate support from AMD. On Black Friday cost were lower and we have $100 sell out rebate.

I also made it extremely clear on Black Friday that the discounts we did would NEVER EVER be seen again on VEGA, I also made it clear that from a business point of view it was a stupid dumb move selling over 500 VEGA cards at £400 each, when we could have sold them all to a single miner at £600 each.
We were supporting gamers, some people listened and got one, now some people cry about the prices, all I can say on VEGA you were all warned.

 

[Gibbo]

Id stop stocking Vega then, or id just leave the pricing on them high, and just lset the miners take them.

To stop stocking something gets you nowhere, the cost is the cost, we don't take them, someone else does and then they get the sales and the related profits.

We do nothing does not support our customers and we try to keep gamers happy.

But it is quite funny that the first discount code used was "GIB7" and a forum member, I do truly hope it is for gaming, but something tells me it shall be mining.......

 

[Gibbo]

Nice one Gibbo!

I just bought a 1070 windforce to replace my noisy ITX version.

Your secret is safe with me

Nice, can see your order buddy.

 

[Gibbo]

Good stuff Gibbo!

Prices there are extremely reasonable with the price hiking that's currently going on everywhere else. There's hope for us lot wanting to use our cards correctly

But do be quick, the volume we have is not that much and they will expire on Friday, it really is a small window of opportunity for you our forum members. Its not promoted elsewhere but I can assure you the stock won't last long.

 

[Gibbo]

Its a shame you can't do the AMD cards any cheaper

Were not going to sell below cost and I have no 580's in stock to even attempt it with. Please no one here ask for a 570, the card that every forum member shunned the most, it is clearly a mining device and priced as such.

I am hopeful for a large volume of 580's shipping just before CNY, hoping for 1k units, if that happens they shall be setup with a discount code like I did a few months ago. However those RX 580's are now $60 more expensive per card for me to buy in, so of course the prices that once was are impossible.

 

[Gibbo]

Awesome deals there. But stupid question...

Why have GPU manufacturing costs increased, and depending on that, why wouldn't they return to normal?

Memory prices have double for the video cards, the cost of other components have also increased on some cards as well, so they cannot return to what they once were if they are now more expensive in the first place. The memory price increases is neither NVIDIA or AMD's fault, the prices have simply doubled and some graphics cards are fitted with a lot of memory which impacts the price quite harshly.

 

[Gibbo]

What a stroke of luck, just ordered a second hand strix one for same price 2 hours ago. Now get a brand new one for my HTPC, thanks for the offer's

Yep seen a Strix go through, guess that was you.

 

[Gibbo]

Thanks. Just have to hope that mobile sales dry up and memory prices get the price drop that's been mooted.

Just hope Apple do not decided to launch an iPhone XI or XII to soon, the market needs some time to recover to be honest.

 

[Gibbo]

GlobalWafers (a company that makes silicone wafers) have said the cost for silicone wafers (used to make CPUs, GPUs & RAM) will go up 20% this year, they plan to increase production by seven percent but this still won't meet demand & won't be immediate

That is on top of the increases which have already happened. An RX 580 has 8 memory chips, they used to be $7 each, they are now $14 each and a further 20% to come is the above rumour.

 

[Gibbo]

Absolutely, memory prices were already inflated. I thought it was official the 20% apologies if not. I was told that they stated it outright

Well I see OEM cost on some GPU's and lets just say since Q4 last year, the memory chips are now double in price. When the miners disappear things will get interesting, as the prices are higher now in the first place, so that is either the future or something will have to give or maybe try switching to a new memory technology or even find a technology that requires not so much memory.

Or as with most things, give it 6-12 months and it might pass and ease, its not the first time prices have rockets in this industry due to shortage or component cost increase, the difference is this time we have both combined.

Of course if GBP could hit around 1.75 or even 2:1 like good old days, it would neutralise most of this, come on BREXIT.

 

[Gibbo]

Is this some Nvidia like PR stunt ? Hello, pretty much every member here is/was a miner.

Anyway, good to see some reasuring, Nvidia prices seem ok. But where is my RX 580 ?
Your post is actually somewhat heart-lightening, sounds like promise for future.

I think you are very wrong with stating every member here is or was a miner, most here are gamers and those who have mined did it with their gaming rigs. The amount of members here who have 30+ cards at home mining will be a select few which compared to the amount of miners is probably a single digit percentage.

 

[Gibbo]

Is there anyway I can order 2 cards?

I need a Graphics card myself but I've also got an order for a complete new gaming PC, so with GC's the price they are it's going to be somewhere close to £2k's worth qith the parts for the new PC..

I am afraid not sorry, you could order two different cards but with such limited quantities, it is very unfair to let people have more than one.

 

[Gibbo]

Um regarding prices of silicon wafers, don't know if you've seen the news this hour but Taiwan (home to Global wafers) just had a massive earthquake. I've seen pictures of tall tower blocks leaning sideways. Those poor people

Yes trying to contact our Taipei office as we speak, still no response, its on the outskirts so all should be fine. Also asked our HK office to investigate as they are still online. Though it is past midnight there.

 

[Gibbo]

While we are sort of on the topic of everything driving up prices (memory, components etc), how come it hasn't effected consoles?

Consoles use much the same as gpus and yet the consoles remain much the same prices as always, if not cheaper (always seem to be on deals). Sony/MS subsidising it?, or gpu manafacturers think people are mugs and just charging what they can get away with?

Contract pricing.

When you order volumes of 100k+ you can get contract pricing. Not only that, I suspect the console product is upto six months ahead.

One of the big memory silicon manufacturers did contract pricing with a big memory supplier, over time they eventually went bust.

Another example is laptops, so far no price increases, well some, but its being tiny, but you can bet they will come, reason again is they operate generally on a six month manufacturing and have contracts with Intel, Samsung, NVIDIA, AMD etc. Eventually they will have to move pricing, it is just more delayed.

 

[Gibbo]

Guess I'll have to wait longer. My 970 died a week ago and am looking to buy an EVGA 1070Ti. Can't please everyone as they say, great deals though.

To be honest, my 1080 stock on offer is old stock, before the price increases, the 1070Ti cost me more and I quite frankly would take a 1080 over a 1070Ti due to the memory bandwidth and 1080's are very very overclockable.

 

[Gibbo]

Got hold of one of our Taiwanese girls, she took this picture, they are all safe but yeah the region is prone to earthquake, I've being their during such quakes, one I slept through and the other I was stood chatting and thought I was suffering from being drunken or faint, the reality was the ground and building I was in was shaking. A few seconds later I got a text message from Taiwanese government advising I go to a shelter immediately, fortunately it quickly ended and no worse happened.

 

[Gibbo]

Btw @Gibbo id stick this in a way that everyone willing to use code needs to have 1.forum membership of at least 4 minths 2 code accepted only over phone with forum login. Its only way i see this will work without UNWANRED peopke getting this deal

Not possible to implement, we've done what we can, 1pc, 1 use of code per account and only posted here.
Best we can do.

 

[Gibbo]

I understand. And the Giga 1080 was tempting. Just have my heart set on an EVGA iCX this time around, with the overkill mosfet cooling and all the temp sensors (my 970 died from a burnt mosfet), plus the extra purchasable warranty. Thanks for sharing your thoughts though, agree the 1080 is a great deal for anyone not fussed about that stuff.

Going to be patient and keep gaming on a GTX 750 1GB I've borrowed (do not recommend... then again, there are even worse cards so I ought to be somewhat grateful).

If we get another delivery of the EVGA 1070Ti FTW will try to do something on them, but right now I think there is just 2 in stock, so would be very pointless as unfortunately our system for setting up voucher codes is very complex, if it was a 5 minute job we would do a lot more, but doing those seven codes nearly took half a day as the new website/backend since updating improved some things but made making vouchers and absolute minefield.
