When the Gpu's prices will go down ?

GPU's above £500 aren't proving to be very popular at all, compared to the mining craze/boom/shortage/scalping episode. Loads of interest in the RX 6600's in the sub £270 bracket though, and lots of 3060 interest when it's below £300 as well.

It's certainly interesting the seeing the bigger GPU dies taking huge price cuts, showing where Nvidia had allocated there hopes/dreams on selling for a lot longer. Always looks good when you can say "Look this was $1499 and is now only $999, but shhh don't tell anyone it still has the same silicon as the $600 part, which only lost $50." proves the value in the lower priced product that they didn't want to sell, and are now trying to force sell more expensive SKU's using what I consider almost fake price reductions.

You're paying extra for the VRAM and the ability to run farcry 6 with HD textures which is clearly worth the hefty premium for some.

That's great, many thanks!

And to the others who have offered up advise, as always very helpful on here.

It seems like the Asus GeForce RTX 3070 TUF OC V2 is very good performance for the money.

For this generation the TUF cards had the best components you can get without overengineering. They won countless head to heads. If you had to blind purchase a card for the 4xxx series, I would expect the TUF is the card to get again.
 
On the grey market prices for new Nvidia 3080 founders have dumped down to approx. 650 GBP excluding VAT from a 12 month peak of approx. 1,850 last November.

They need to dump down to 400 for them to be of value against the 4080.

People buying 3080s now are going to have some serious buyers remorse very shortly :D

So Nvidia, are planning to use the 3000 series to bump up the price of the 4000 series. Well we already know that some people will be more than happy to defend this.

I've only listened to 2-3min of what Jay said as he seemed to be rehashing something we already knew and he tends to take a while to get to the point, however IMO that's exactly what they're doing. They're holding back stock, and i say holding back because wafers would've been allocated for those GPUs months ago so they can't just stop making the silicon (they could throw them in the trash but that's unlikely), they're holding back to keep the prices of current gen high so when next gen cards are released for similar prices people think they're getting a good deal.

People will think they're getting more performance for a similar price and then Nvidia will release the cards they've been stockpiling, probably with a small reduction in price, so people can buy a 4090 for $1.5k or a 3090 for something like $1k (obviously some people will totally ignore the fact that they're still paying inflated prices because they'll think they're getting a bargain...More performance for a similar price as the 3090 launch MSRP...the 4090 is a bargain...A 3090 for $500 less than launch MRSP...bargain).
 
What I understand is 30 series will fade away tier-by-tier and it will take AGES... I don't expect a RTX 4080 until late January and won't get surprised with 12GB-only FE (paper launch) while 16GB variant on AIB's start from £1000...
After that GA102's will be used for lower tiers. There's already a 3070ti based on GA102 on rumours.. 4070 probably by the Easter and similar pattern to follow.. 10GB-FE, 12GB AIB with pumped price.

Fake exclusivity seems to be the new modern way to sells things these days.

seems people feel special if they get what they think other people can't have, especially if they can brag about it online
 
The 2nd hand chain has adjusted prices on most of its gpus, most have gone down, although the odd one has gone up slightly. Perhaps preparing for the merge. Cards like the AMD 6800 which at one point in time you could sell to them for £1000 now sell to them for around £250 cash.
