is it normal for OCuk to change GPU prices on a daily basis ?
the zotac 3080 TI which was £850 yesterday or the day before is now £900. I understand budget, pound getting weaker etc, but surely this is stock they already had ...

But you forget that it costs them more to replenish now (plus they might be running low on stock hence the increase).
The Asus GeForce RTX 3070 TUF OC V2 that I'd been keeping my eye on no longer has the discount and jumped up to £599.99 on OC. I'm wondering if I should have got it when it was on sale at around £550 or am I better to keep waiting? I only really want it for VR and wondering just how much better it will be for this at £550/£599 compared to my 1660 Super?

Looks like my bet to pay £800 for the 6950XT has already paid off. It's £50 more expensive today!

No chance, drop the bling and the tax. Do you not want to go used for better spec?

Been keeping an eye on this to replace my vega 64 if the new amd stuff is also lol price. At this rate it will be another few years before I even start looking again.

Do dooo do do do
I've always been a little adverse to used gpus in case they've been hammered. I suppose I have the advantage of being able to wait this out?

Get ready for the "flood" of mining GPUs

well, these price increases have achieved the desired result, i moved from the "maybe I'll buy the 3080TI at £850" to the "screw this, keep your cards" camp

If your current GPU is playing everything in your library, then why bother in the first place? AMD isn't going to be any cheaper this generation either!
Voting with my wallet and staying far away.
Only way I upgrade is if the 3000 series second hand values go up an insane amount.

this is a great point tbh, the only reason i was looking for a new card is that mine has been abused for 6 years now and i expect it will fail at some point. I'd like to get a new one, preferably Zotac again, so I can have another 5 years of warranty ....

Voting with your wallet should be common practice these days. The members market will be the way forward for second hand, some decent deals and honest folk can be found there if you're in need.
Judging by recent game releases I'm pretty sure it will last a further 6 years.

Surely everyone votes with their wallet? We're just the minority who voted for lower prices.
