Why is shipping to UK more than to the US? , surely the bulk sent would serve the entire EU and would all come from China anyway ;)

Also since the collapse of the Euro what will CaseKing charge will it be a lot more?

It is not but none of the hubs are in the UK, so all stock goes to Europe, the extra charge for shipping is from European hub to UK warehouse.

Sometimes we can skip out European hub with some brands, where they ship direct from their warehouse in China directly into OcUK warehouse, but they do tend to be more expensive brands.
 
hmmm for the retail price , I think if you land it from the USA you`ll be looking at both VAT @20% and import duty as well as its above £630

Yes, yes, I agree pretty much completely. CPU rendering all the way for final renders.
But for a few subsets of CG artists (product vis, some mograph) GPU rendring is a practical solution & we're edging towards it being useful as a preview for tool for heavier rendering (ie designing materials in VRay -RT, even though it doesn't support every feature of the materials yet).
This 12GB VRAM at a (relatively) reasonable price is a useful step in that direction.

You'd be surprised how quickly things are changing. Studios are looking for any advantage they can get, especially in advertising/quick turnaround. The larger places obviously have huge render farms which aren't going away any time soon but smaller places are already switching. I'm using Redshift for final renders, which isn't limited to the onboard vram.

its why you use render farms - 64GB frame storage in fast ram is better than *only* 12Gb....

Never made any sense to me, even when the £ was high we was always getting rip off britain prices so sadly when it's low it's just going higher based on the idea of economics but we was already paying a little more anyway. I know VAT and all that but it reminds me of when games consoles like PS4 would be $350 in us and then around £300 in UK or other silly prices.


Either way these cards seem quite nice as single cards but they do look a little pricey for me. Hope everyone who buys one enjoys it but I agree with some of the others that performance looks a bit weaker than I'd have liked for the price.

Well it clearly makes a difference, I remember selling 4790k as low as £230ish on OcUK with the prices always being around £250ish, now they are getting closer and closer to £300.

Another example 5820k, at launch was under £300, now it is over. :(

Nearly everything is purchased in USD, pound weakens, prices goes up, pound strengthens prices goes down.

Do you not remember GTX 970 at £239 inc and GTX 980 at £359 inc? These have gone up drastically.

Its not hard to make sense of, it is really rather simple, check www.xe.com and you can check live rate and a bank will normally give you slightly under live rate.

I'm not so surprised, really. The CG rendering world encompasses a huge range of artists in very different disciplines & markets - VFX, feature animation, arch vis, mograph, product vis, concept, pre vis, childrens tv, medical vis, (a dozen more I haven't thought of).
I've no doubt at all that GPU rendering for final product is viable for some of them & this will be a good card for that. Yet other will use GPU rendering in a preview capacity. Nor will CPU rendering be going away any time soon (Arnold, Corona etc)
