You say that but LTT did a recent video on the amount of off-brand 1660 Supers that have flooded a certain online market place. From what i gather companies are 'refurbishing' what maybe ex-mining cards, re-branding them as things like Kinology, Mannajue, 51RISC, etc, etc and selling them at a discount.

Regionally it varies, but in general its an observation to the movement that parroted the tuber videos that didn't really have much knowledge on the topic. As we have seen since the bust, and now with cards in stock of last gen and current gen its greed. How many ampere and 6000 series actually saturated the market? Not many otherwise with an oversaturated supply trying to offload stock you would have seen prices crash on second hand dGPU's way lower. Personally I wouldn't use a 1660 as an example of flooding, too weak and too old - its just miners offloading their weakest stock and this probably applies to the Asian market. When monitoring the UK market it has been nothing like what the influencers portrayed.

Yea, i wasn't trying to use it as proof of anything much as knowing how many of these off-brand cards are out there, let alone being sold and what models, is impossible. I found it interesting more than anything in that it seems, rather than like last time where ex-mining cards were being sold on flebay, we now seem to be seeing companies being setup and stickers being slapped on ex-mining cards to make them seem more legit.

Yea the rebadging thing though has been done on CPU's too (covered by LTT or the popular ones like GN I think) but I don't think this is entirely linked to ex mining hardware just chancers pulling a fast scam.

If I could see plenty of used sales on last gen's cards I would take note, but the consensus seems to be as posted by someone earlier that the second hand market is barely discounted compared to new which contradicts the term 'flood' which is why it was raising eyebrows. We have gone 19 months post crash in crypto, with the energy prices rocketing its killed off any reason to blame that - particularly in Europe and UK, it should be a buyers opportunity now there is no scalpers too...

Prices have crashed on 2nd hand cards from the crypto highs but are now holding because new cards are no faster.

3080's for example are going for £400 which is still 30% faster and has 2gb more VRAM and over twice the bus speed than a 4060ti. Anyone with half a brain would buy a used 3080 which is probably what they are doing instead of buying new 4060ti's which is probably why the prices are holding on the 3080's etc.

Getting somewhere is better than nothing. Just glad its going down rather than up. AMD should be making a similar move shortly.

Surprised they ended the game bundles. Realistically a copy of Diablo 4 or whatever cost is a few pounds more than likely, when were talking the scale of Nvidias buying power (and likely associated marketing of said game).

Yeah hope so, I think OCUK will be doing a lot of negotiating with suppliers right now. I think it's too late to reduce existing inventory, once its booked in.

We can only hope.

They're bundling Starfield now.

When OCUK had the 7900xt for £728 that was good value I think (2nd gen RT, AI and better productivity) as it was £100 more than a 6950xt mba in May/June.

I don't regard £728 as good value for a card that's at best second tier and arguably third tier if you consider the whole consumer graphics card market. Less bad value than the now normal "to hell with consumers" pricing but not good value.

You’re entitled to your views, I respect that. But we have to work with what we have not what we would like to have had ;) I’m pretty happy with the performance of 7900xt (double that of my 60ti, and 15% faster than last gen AMD flagship).

This will and should last me ages, at least another 2 gens perhaps.

Not sure games will take a leap beyond current console capabilities so anything around 6800XT/3080 should be enough till 2026 (when next gen consoles should release).
