When the Gpu's prices will go down ?

[MCFC_ANDY]

i noticed that Asus are doing cashback deals, but very few firms are advertising it, OC is listed on there, but looking at the listed cards theres no mention of this.

I noticed they were offering £25 cashback on a £999 GPU that should have been priced at £650 anyway.

Asus are also offering trade-ins. Send them your old GPU for cashback on your new GPU. This is how much they offer

GTX 1060 £90.00
GTX 1070 £90.00
GTX 1070 Ti £100.00
GTX 1080 £100.00
GTX 1080 Ti £130.00
GTX 1650 £55.00
GTX 1650 Super £65.00
GTX 1660 £80.00
GTX 1660 Super £100.00
GTX 1660 Ti £120.00
RTX 2060 £150.00
RTX 2060 Super £180.00
RTX 2070 £200.00
RTX 2070 Super £230.00
RTX 2080 £265.00
RTX 2080 Super £280.00
RTX 2080 Ti £300.00
RTX 3050 £180.00
RTX 3060 £200.00
RTX 3060 Ti £230.00
RX 6650 XT £200.00
RX 6600 XT £170.00
RX 6600 £150.00
RX 6500 XT £110.00
RX 6400 £85.00
RX 5700 XT £150.00
RX 5700 £120.00
RX 5600 XT £100.00
RX 5600 £75.00
RX 5500 XT £60.00
RX 5500 £50.00
Radeon VII £200.00
RX Vega 56 £125.00
RX Vega 64 £150.00

Asus can then sell the GPU in auction for a good profit on the generous "favour" they did for you.

i noticed 25 cashback and a free asus mouse on a sub £300 rtx 3060 making £264 on a competitor site, but strangely not all models on that site has the same option of cashback even though they are listed by Asus. seems to have been either implentmented poorly or retailers arent advertising it at all on gpu;s, like in case of OC

 

[PaulW]

This is how much they offer

Hmm... My current GPU, the GTX 780 is not listed

 

[MCFC_ANDY]

im weighing up if its worth going from my 1660ti to a 3060 for 264 after cashback, sell my TI for say 130 as only few months old. or wait for and see what AMD low to mid range appear in new couple of months

The 780 is too old so they can't make enough profit out of you. They want people with faster GPUs so they can really rip them off.

 

[ViRuS2k]

Why not list 3090

 

[Bencher]

They really have a stubborn trait.
Over and over again with their "we are not a budget brand" they set the price way to high (usually just under Nvidia but this applies to CPUs too), get little sales; and poor reviews.

Then after 6+ months of few sales they slash the prices to something more realistic. Latest episode: the 7900 XT has come down a fair bit since launch and looks a lot better now. As usually, this strategy didn't gain them much mindshare!

Yeap, at current prices the 7900xt is the better buy since it costs the same / cheaper than the competing 4070ti. But I just wouldn't buy it cause of those ****ty tactics amd is pulling.

 

[Martini1991]

The Sapphire 7900XT at £780 kind of shows just how bad things are.

I don't know how anyone can buy say a 6800XT at £600 when that 7900XT is available

Hell OCUK has 6900XT's and 6950XT's that are completely redundant by the 7900XT.

The whole market is a mess and just feels like it's set up to make you spend more at the moment

You can find 6950XT under 700€ (new) if you know where to look, AMD prices are the only remotely sane ones and even then mostly on 6000 series.
They better price Navi 32 properly or may as well not bother releasing it.

I'm not sure why anyone would buy a 6950XT for £699 when you can get a 7900XT for £780.

Both companies are having our eyes out. There's no "good guy" between Nvidia and AMD.

What about the tactics NV is pulling?

Care to elaborate?

 

[Darujhistan]

Care to elaborate?

VRAM scam that's been going on for years, cut down cards, pricing, cards elevated in pricing by a tier, while being cut down relative to last gen, DLSS fake frames replacing real performance...stuff like that...

 

[Aretak]

Honestly, they're offering pretty fair money for a lot of those. You won't get more elsewhere for most of the Turing cards or the Vegas. The Ampere and higher-end Pascal stuff is undervalued though.

Can you be more specific? I can't respond to generalized meaningless statements. Pick one of those you consider a scam and elaborate..

I find it funny that you spam emoticons even on posts that are in fact - factually correct - so I don't expect much from your response to be fair. The 4070 has more transistors than a 3090ti and it would in fact have a much bigger die if it was built on 8nm. It's math man. Do them and youll see it's true

So hand wave away it all away then...

I asked you to elaborate, you are the one handwaving cause there is no scam going on

 

[Darujhistan]

Of course there isn't. The facts are all out there in all these cases, you just refuse to see them because Nvidia. But AMD are unbuyable because "***** tactics"...oh and also by being so impossible to work with, and by cutting margins so far, that quality AIB's like EVGA quit the space therefore lessening the choice the consumer has. But no, that didn't happen either...

Im sure nvidia is impossible to work with, that's why EVGA partnered up with AMD. Oh, wait, nevermind

Keep handwaving instead of actually explaining your position

Btw i never said AMD are unbuyable, I said I wouldn't buy them.. If someone doesn't care about rewarding honesty, the 7900xt is currently a better product than the 4070ti so go for it.
