Wonder what they'll give me for my 1030GT lol
I am just glad I picked up a £50 R9 290 before the madness.
It does appear Prices are on the up again, Tracking the vega 56 they are back upto £540-£575.
I am starting to think they will never reduce in price and we are stuck in an eternal miner/scalper loop. If my PC wasn't an work/editing machine and was just gaming I would jump ship to consoles.
Bought a new 3060Ti arrived today on Amazon. Never thought I'd spend £749 on one of these.
Putting this one in and vertically and taking the monster out and keeping it spare.

Stock seems to have evaporated again so prices have shot up again. It's a shame about all this coin mining crap, expend energy to produce no physical product.
Well, CB have a pretty depressing headline:
Roughly translated: the extremes of last May have almost been reached again.
Naturally they have grap
And later on, a table:
I think they missed this price trend articles for a goo few months and the table seems to back that up.
Taking their table and putting it into Excel with a bit of autoformat, gets me this:
Crypto is nowhere near its high, so I guess Xmas was always going to be a poor time.
Hardware unboxed's latest video seems to suggest flattish prices. Not that means cheap by any stretch....
I just want something at the GTX1070/80 sort of level for a reasonable price never mind anything current gen!

Reasonable price being the important part.Hardware unboxed's latest video seems to suggest flattish prices. Not that means cheap by any stretch....

On CEX (usually always overpriced but quick to react to price changes), a 1080 goes for £460 or so which is almost what they also sell their cheapest 6600 (non XT) for (currently £500, cheapest XT is £545). However poor value the 6600 (or the 3060) is, I'd rather get the same performance at 50W less. Plus HDMI 2.1, I guess.
Prices back through the roof and availability poor, clown World 2.0 continues.
Alas I think this is true. PC gamers have spent the past 18 months teaching GPU vendors that their market is much more price inelastic than they thought. It's not a lesson they're likely to forget.
I predict a future where there's nothing between the sub £50 "I just need more display outputs" cards that have been largely unaffected by this and the £250 price point which will be entry level gaming. Why release things cheaper than that if they'll sell at a higher price? Hell nvidia have raised the 2060 series from the dead and selling out of date tech at a markup.
If circumstances hadn't already ensured this I suspect my current GPU would have remained my last and I'd be leaning more and more towards the xbox.
The xbox does everything I want, series s, the only gripe and it I know its an outlier is no keyboard and mouse support for games I like. For example Far Cry 6. Playing an FPS on a controller needs the next level of dexterity. God knows how people manage to do it.

yeah I can't master it either. keyboard and mouse I destory people. Controller? I'm useless. Maybe with enough time I could adapt but I don't have the regular access nor time to give it. So for casual games with people I'm no use at all other than cannon-fodder.
I still regret cancelling that 3070 order back when they cocked up the delivery. I should just have given my neighbour the keys and asked him to sign for it.

According to the CEO of Nvidia, GPU shortages won't be solved until 2023. GPU stock shortages are apparently going to continue throughout next year, which is bad news for those hoping for an end to these issues soon.
Missed the 3070/3070ti founders drops a few days ago, AMD still not shipping to the UK, I might get one eventually.
The good news about that is that you don't have to deal with Digital River!
Looks the amount of Crucial memory kits they oversold over in the HUKD threads about those. Some people waited weeks to get their stuff.
i like the optimism of this thread... but sad part is that even if gpu will go back to selling for RRP that RRP will be much higher.
people showed nvidia and amd that they are willing to spend above 1000£ for gpu so thats what they will cost in the future..
I am hoping I am wrong.
