They’ll sometimes price match with certain UK storefronts but an item from Amazon US is doubtful.

What are original 3080's going for these days?. Really not using mine much gaming wise so might move it on.

re-read his post
Possibly ~£400 but maybe not for much longer. Right now on the MM a good deal on your card could still be £400, not sure.

Summarise it for me.

Seems a lot for old tech with crippled vram. Only a fool would pay that now.

I never knew that the 3060 ti had 2 variants in memory. I see that the LHR ones were aimed at limited mining but I have seen 2 types of memory, one with gddr6 and another with gddr6x. Both at the same price on OcUK. Is there much difference in performance? Makes me wonder which variant the reviews were done against.

Ok thanks.
Well its not like anything new from Nvidia or AMD at the £400 price point even comes close to a 3080.
Exactly what I did some time ago. I just play less demanding games or turn the settings down a bit now. Not paying silly prices.

I was selling my 3060 Ti this weekend and noticed how low the buyer interest is, and how many good deals for older components are actually available.
If you are price sensitive, and a few hundred GBP makes a real difference, just go with previous gen. Combination of AM4 + RTX 3XXX is really cheap, and it will be perfectly fine for a long time.
A few poorly optimized games will have problems, yes. Just don't pre-order and wait for reviews. If it's bad, don't buy it. Boom, problem solved!
No need to overthink it.

Are prices in the UK directly matching USD prices? Ie 7900xt is $779 and OCUK have it for £728- my point is we never get the dollar conversion to pounds…

People are disinterested because for new cards you have to spend more to even see a performance upgrade, guessing you didn't buy a 4060ti and instead had to spend a lot more.

This thread probably has run it’s course and gpu prices aren’t coming down so I vote we close this thread!
Clearly prices are coming down as even newly released cards are seeing almost immediate price cuts as they are not selling.
You’ve bought in at a higher price so clearly that’s why you don’t want to see price cuts.
