Soldato
I'm not confirming the 6700 is a good deal, but scouring the ocuk site (and competitors) and still seeing 3080's for over £700 is a sad state of affairs tbh.

I wouldn't pay any more than £700 for a 4080 especially given its really a 70ti class being sold in name as the tier up, with pricing 2 tiers up.The thing is what do people actually think the reduction percentage would be, if you take the 4080fe for example @ £1,199 I think you’d be lucky if they took £100 off “if” any reductions ever happen. Then you have to think to yourself was it worth boycotting the card to save £100 ?
I'm not boycotting anything, I just don't see the value. I'm more than happy with my 3080 FE and it could easily last me until next gen and the PS6.The thing is what do people actually think the reduction percentage would be, if you take the 4080fe for example @ £1,199 I think you’d be lucky if they took £100 off “if” any reductions ever happen.

I’m in the same boat as you, I run the 3080fe I did think about a 408fe I must admit but then I think I get good fps and usability with mine and when the newer games come out just wack dlss on gain those extra frames and job done.I'm not boycotting anything, I just don't see the value.

Could Nvidia last even 6 months if no one bought the 4xxxx series?
Seeing as they've doubled in price in the space of 3 years I'd want them to halve in price before I'd consider a reduction to be worth it, if prices don't come down then the would've lost a customer.The thing is what do people actually think the reduction percentage would be, if you take the 4080fe for example @ £1,199 I think you’d be lucky if they took £100 off “if” any reductions ever happen.

£700-750 and I’ll probably of bought one

Can get them for under 1k on the used market already but still not worth it.I seriously doubt we will ever see 4080 below £1000, even in used gpu market .
The sad state of affairs is that demand massively exceeds supply in the gpu market however there is a Mexican stand off between Nvidia/AMD and gamers where neither side is compromising on price.
The ever growing amount of stock that Nvidia is sitting on shows that to be false. If it's out of stock at retailers it's because Nvidia is artificially trying to constrain stock to make it look like there is high demand, but demand is actually at rock bottom right now and Nvidia have an overabundance of wafers they need to start shifting.I seriously doubt we will ever see 4080 below £1000, even in used gpu market .

That can just keep piling up inventory in warehouses if they like. (They admitted inventory levels have doubled over the last 12 months.)Come on guys wake up, prices for the RTX 4000 series are NOT going to be slashed, look at the 3060ti and 3070 for gods sake.
Im not convinced Nvidia/AMD would slash prices even if Intel made a worthy splash at this point.
Well they'll fall into debt before i do.I seriously doubt we will ever see 4080 below £1000, even in used gpu market .

If they don't want to go bankrupt they'll have no choice, they can't have assets sitting around in warehouse's and on shelves if they have bills to pay. There will come a time when they have to liquidate those assets.Come on guys wake up, prices for the RTX 4000 series are NOT going to be slashed, look at the 3060ti and 3070 for gods sake.

Ironically Nvidia proposals are turning out to be too expensive even for small-medium sized telcos, not enough margin to set up a data center area dedicated to them.Well they'll fall into debt before i do.

e: Oh and going on what data is available that's going to happen to Nvidia way before AMD as the formers cash reserves are falling while the latter's are growing.
You can probably buy both for the price of a 4080.Until they cut prices to reasonable levels, I'm not buying a new GPU, they can get stuffed. I am however buying a new Fridge Freezer and a new TV this year, but I'm not buying a new GPU at these prices.
