The amount of people "chuffed" that the top card is now £1500. Have I missed something? You've all been played! The top card 4 years ago was £799!! It's horrible price increases!


The 3080 and 3070 are actually a little better than I feared. Not too bad.

Well the top card 4 years ago was actually the Titan X for $1200.
The 3090 is effectively the titan replacement.

My 1080ti is probably going to CEX this week (Friday) before they start dropping the offer price....

CEX will give me £278 cash no hassle...

I bought the 1080ti exactly 3 years ago for £699 ive had my time out of it.

3080 is the route for me

"Upgrading" to a card with less VRAM must been bad though? We don't know enough about 'RTX IO' to know if it effectively reduces VRAM requirements. I doubt it will, else why put 24GB on the 3090.....

I think its fair to say that 2080TI on the bay is not going to go for more than £500ish.
Most listings ending soon have 0 bids at around £600.
And those who have bids, the last bids were 29/30 August.

Unfortunately, Im one of those guys lumbered with a 2080Ti :) Thats the way it plays sometimes.

Well, TBH, I wish I was "lumbered" with a 2080 Ti!

Then I wouldn't need to be buying a 3080 FE, but as I only have a 1070, I'm overdue an upgrade.

Wonder how good RTX IO will be - I think it

Im not worried about losing a GB of Vram compared to the generational leap in performance and RTX I get

I want the new Xbox. I really do.

When Nvidia launched the 20 series I almost laughed myself into a stupor. I already had a XB Scorpio I got for a song about 2 months after launch (£330 IIRC, no controller but I had one). Last Christmas I bought myself the Gears 5 edition X and I was again very impressed. Game looks stunning.

I've grown awfully fond of my couch. And not getting RSI after a ten hour Fallout session.

Just checked Doom Eternal. Seems I am OK.

It will be interesting to see how they turn out. At least hopefully gamers of all persuasions will have options this year!
