Well after two days of regular checking absolutely nothing from Scan, ocuk or nVidia, nada. Just a few notifications on twitter of over priced cards in French, German or Italian stores.
I've been keeping an eye out for a specific couple of 3060 Ti cards (EVGA XC and ASUS Dual Mini - the only two which will fit in my diminutive case). Nothing so far. Slightly worrying is that CCL appear to have jacked the price of the EVGA XC up from £399.99 to £599.99 - even though the FTW card remains at £439.98 so I hope that's a mistake. There's no way in hell I'm paying 600 quid for a 3060 Ti, that's a 50% price hike - I really hope that is a mistake.
Yes they are on sale. The problem is they go out of stock pretty quickly. The nVidia FEs are scan exclusive in the UK. The AMD cards are on scan and competitors. I managed to get a Sapphire Nitro+ 6800 XT from scan. The best way is to join discord/telegram notification groups. There are a few that i am still in. A random member posted the sale up from scan, and thats how i managed to get my nitro+. The other issue at the minute is the ridiculous price increase for AIB models. To save a buck, wait on the nVidia FE models as they seem to come in stock weekly. The AMD reference havent been in stock in ages, and the AIB prices are just ridiculous. Good luck mate.
Stupid question but what are the AIB models?Originally Posted by Padcontrol
Well after 5 days of checking several times a day... absolutely zero success. When were the officially released? More than three months ago for the 3070. Ridiculous state of affairs.
indepent versions using the processor and official tech spec guidance but otherwise customised ROM, circuitry and coolers. ie anything released by an OEM and not nvidia or AMD directly.
There was a miniscule drop to the EU AMD direct buy site.
People in the UK couldn't order tho in any case, and it was all done in 0.0005 seconds as usual.
AMD are a CPU and console company atm, they don't make GPUs
Does anyone know when the supply constraint might ease or is this the new normal (awful phrase) for graphics cards. I did read that some cat manufacturers were struggling due to chip shortages so maybe this is just a world wide issue, not like you can just turn on fab capacity at the drop of a hat I guess.
today I could have purchased any 3070 or 3060ti, 6800, 6800xt and 6900 so you just need to know where to look. I would have bought one too had my car not dogged on me and needed a £700 repair bill, and the boiler packed in needing a £200 part. Safe to say I will not be able to get a new GPU for some time now, and I'll have to stick with my increasingly sluggish gtx460
I think we know where to look to get 6800XTs at close to £1000, but unless you're truly desperate or really, really impatient (btw those are still live as I'm sure you know), the wait goes ontoday I could have purchased any 3070 or 3060ti, 6800, 6800xt and 6900 so you just need to know where to look.

legit site, they're just not posting things publicly for google bots to scalp.I think we know where to look to get 6800XTs at close to £1000, but unless you're truly desperate or really, really impatient (btw those are still live as I'm sure you know), the wait goes on
3060ti 525-595
3070 629-689, 715 for one gigabyte card
6800 similar
6800XT and 6900 £800-1000
assuming we're talking the same place given your comment. I must admit I'm reluctant to pay that much when rrp was supposed to be hundreds less, but is that the new rrp these days? I seem to recall people saying prices had been changed?
Those prices are awful. My mate got his aftermarket RTX3060TI last month from Scan for £420 IIRC. The RRP of the FE is £350~£360. The RRP of the RTX3070 is around £450.
So basically you are paying £100 on top of a reasonable price for an aftermarket RTX3060TI or RTX3070 card.
If I were you,I would wait until late February and try and see if you can get an RTX3060 12GB for as close to the £300 RRP as you can. Scan is the official partner for Nvidia in the UK,so FE links on the Nvidia website,actually lead to time limited Scan webpages.
Where is this legit site?
I'm not entirely sure their motivation for not publicly listing them is to hide the stock from scalpers, when they're the ones scalping.

Yes and no. The RRP of the FE/MBA cards hasn't changed.
There was never an RRP for the AIB cards, and it was claimed several times that AIBs could not make any profit at all if they sold for the FE/MBA RRP.
Meanwhile, ASUS has released a statement saying that, due to x,y,z, they will be putting up the official RRP of just about all their products, from GPUs to motherboards and other things. Shame, as we all know ASUS was previously the budget champion (heavy /s).
Not a stupid question. Add in board partner. Basically all the other companies (ASUS, EVGA, Sapphire etc) that make GPUs other than the first party (AMD, nVidia).
Well, it's officially a problem now - the BBC has spoken!
