When the Gpu's prices will go down ?

[z10m]

I think I read on the motherboard thread someone was having bluetooth issues not specifically xbox pad related, more general issues.
Someone said to make sure you've got a WiFi antenna plugged in.
Maybe the BT module shares the antenna with the WiFi module to get better signal?

That would make sense in the context of the above.

That might as well be the case.

The bottom of the second hand market seems to have properly fallen out now. Sub-£500 3080s and 6800 XTs, Sub-£400 6800s in relative abundance. These are pretty good deals imo.

 

[DeathStorm]

Yes.
Plenty switched since lock down/mining/scalping because of the price increases.

Nv just cut out the above factors and increased price to last gens street price, with AMD slightly cheaper in their shadow.

I don't believe you, I do not believe someone would stop playing the games they like because they can't justify the latest GPU so they swap platforms to play different games. That makes them sound like alcoholics who'll drink paint thinner because they can't get anything else.

If you're just claiming they switched platforms because the same games were available fair enough but that wasn't the question being asked and my original point that arguing over which can do better 60 fps or whatever misses the point.

Not cheap enough really when compared to some new deals, but eBay pricing is still insanity.

I'm sure a tiny and insignificant percentage of PC gamers that like AAA cinematic experiences have tried to switch to a PS5 for example.

However, the amount of console gamers that grew up and switched to PC is staggering. The best selling console of all time is still the PS2. Core gaming has grown a lot since then and PC gaming has absorbed most of that growth.

Yeah sunken cost fallacy. If you overpay on the way in you more on the way out.

Some people thinking a 2 year old USED 3080 at 500 being the market bottoming out is wild to me. Depreciation & lost warranty years should be at least 40-50% reduction not 15 imo

Less than £500. £420 with a warranty specifically.

It doesn't matter, even if

Irrelevant.

 

[Calin Banc]

Irrelevant.

What exactly?

The conversation, until anyone acknowledges the entry to market cost explained previously, goes for everyone else too.

Look back at old gen consoles, when PC was ahead, see how many truly PC dedicated games were.

 

[Joxeon]

Already available for about 870 quid here in Australia, 950 when you factor in tax differences. The UK is really lagging on price drops for these cards.

Probably because we have more drongo's that pay the daft prices.

When the 3080 price and performance was announced the 2080ti fell to £350 on the used market, It didn't stay there because of all the shortages back then but had ADA been any good in terms of price performance then a 3080 would be selling for sub £300 right now.

Don’t see prices coming down significantly next gen. This gen I think we have seen the bottom (7900series and 4070ti/4080).

Anyone who thinks AMD and Nvidia will suddenly feel for gamers and cut prices is delusional.

 

[gpuerrilla]

Possibly, but on a positive note if you skip Ada/rdna3 then the next gen should attract significant bumps again for those not into serial gen upgrading.

It’s waiting another 18 months for AMD to release or another 15 months for Nvidia to release next gen. I suppose if a good deal on current gen happens to come by then people can grab that I suppose.

 

[uscool]

Always the play if you can skip a gen that's why I always liked the 80 tier till recent price scam

Hopefully AMD can refine the chiplet for next one

Is the 3090TI a better choice over the 3090 when running two in a system due to not having memory on the back of the card?

I found a place selling 3090TIs for a good price. Not sure I want 3.5 slot cards though, would have to water cool at least one of them.

Only issue with that is if it backfires and the 80 class has £100 added to it next gen lol
