When the Gpu's prices will go down ?

Heh - actually they do these days. It's very similar, supply chain shortages mean that used car prices have boomed massively during the pandemic, not just GPU prices. In some cases people are selling cars for over 100% of what they paid for them. Certainly cars bought in the past 1-2 years ago have a fair chance of getting 80% back assuming they are in good condition, not mega miles added and you didn't overpay to begin with. The normal depreciation curve has flattened massively.

Some cards might have transferrable warranties. Regardless, it's not something I worry about too much, most items I have that fail are out of warranty anyway.

i bought a skoda octavia vrs 2016 in lockdown 1 for £14k. went back for my first service and he said do i want to sell it, he would get £19k for it now. i was half tempted, main dealer, but a newer one would be £34k ex demo lol. i declined.

Damm GPU prices just don't seem to be dropping! i refuse to pay over 500 for a GPU and I am thinking about selling my 5600x and buying a 5700G, just don't know how much I will get for my 5600x

OCUK are selling in stock AIB 3080s for 769inc upwards, so, its money for old Nvidia rope but at least you can buy one now without the price being scalped too hard.

Yep. Still way to expensive. Mine worked out under £600 after I sold the codes that came with my 3080 FE around release and they want £769 for a card that has been through most its life cycle and will later this year be replaced with next gen cards? Jog on :cry:
 
they are dropping, just very slowly particularly the less popular models

what's good is we have a performance competitive/threat to Nvidia coming later this year so they can't afford to sit on silly priced Ampere GPUs like they did with Pascal > Turing era its just a question of when not if now

Do you think I should hold of getting a 5700G then ? it would be my luck the prices would drop after I buy a 5700G.

It is an APU, wanting to get a discrete GPU but refuse to pay the prices being asked, so I have been considering getting the 5700G APU for now until prices return to something sane.

depends what you mean by sane, GPU prices are likely to remain at a higher price point forever now... but to offer a more helpful approach £500 end of this year could net you close to 6900XT/3090 perf or not far from it. Is that worth the wait only you can decide...

Some thinking to do, thanks for the info.
 
I like HUB, but at this point value measuring is very difficult with prices going noticeably lower quickly, resale value being an uncertainty, and mostly with new cards coming being the big issue here. Throw in energy usage on top for extra confusion.

But if you need a card you need a card, and trying to get best value it is a good video. Just overall value is unachievable right now i think. But that's really one's own measurement.

At the low end i think it's a safe comparison, but the higher end i'm just not sure.
 
Not to mention bit of a limited testing scenario there.... As we have seen with ray tracing, ampere offers considerably better performance with far less power usage compared to rdna 2 and even more so if you throw in some good undervolt settings.

Then throw in feature sets. Struggling to think what amd offer over nvidia? Just of the top of my head for nvidia:

- access to all upscaling tech
- superior streaming/recording set of features
- reflex/low latency boost added in the game

Some might deem those worthy of the extra price.....

Agree with his comments on the 3090 etc. though, just not worth it even at MSRP ;)

If one can pick that up for around £900 I would take it over the 3080's. Ti and 90's tougher call but they are way more in price.

Had a 3080Ti a few weeks back and sold it to keep the Toxic, the fantastic rasterisation performance heavily outweighed any RT benefits (all imo ofc, having been there and done it).
 
Feeling like the 3060/ti and 6700xt have plateaued the last couple of weeks. Do we think this is where they're likely to sit now? I'd rather they come down to RRP but if they're not actually gonna move I'd prefer to have one sooner than later :p

Though naturally the model I want is out of stock rn :(
 
I think that would depend on what the retailer bought them for. Sometimes if you press @Gibbo ;) he can share an insight into what units are costing or if there are some lulls ahead.

You might want to wait until the 6750 XT launches and see if you can get a good deal on release day and/or a discounted 6700 XT.

Said to be an update to some AMD cards set for 10/5/22, AMD Radeon RX 6950XT, RX 6750XT and RX 6650XT pictured, release date moved to May 10th - VideoCardz.com

Don't think its expected that they will get a big increase in performance but it all helps. There might be some MRSP stock about around release as there was with the 6600xt launch, when the Red Devil 6600xt was around for several days at a reasonable price given market conditions
