It's a supply and demand business too. I won't personally pay an inflated price so I refrain from doing so, simple as that, and then just wait to buy at the price I'm happy with, wherever that might be
It'd be good if folks refrain from getting personal about employees too.
pmsl. I hope that was just done as a dig to Nvidia rather than he actually plans to scam people.
It's common sense to spend over double what you were originally going to spend just because they couldn't provide any stock?
I'm well aware they're out to make money and one of the best examples of that is through customers like yourself
Not sure what your problem is exactly?
I was planning to get a 3080 FE yesterday, as I want something to power 4k 120Hz on my CX48 asap. I was then planning on replacing it in a few months with a 3080ti or 3090, once things had settled down.
Best to not make assumptions when you have no idea of someone's plans, as you end up looking the silly one for it!

I haven't made any assumptions
you were all set on buying a 3080 FE but because nVidia couldn't provide stock you've jumped to a 3090 FE as that is "common sense".I'm not bothered what you buy fella, I'm just questioning how any of it demonstrates common sense.
In my opinion, common sense would be not boarding the train at the stop they tell you to and being taken for a ride.

lol. I hope people are bidding them up with no intention of buying them as these scalpers are taking the ****. The whole point of the new range was to be more affordable to everyone and these touts ruin it across most industries.The bay should be banning them till stock is readily available.

I was being sarcastic lol
Wonder how many 3090's they intend to have available, I'm thinking for every x100 3080's, they build maybe x5 3090s? Wonder what the figures will be, I'd love to be an nVidia supplier... but they ain't gonna sell many I'd expect... not at £1,399 and could well judging by recent prices go over £1,499 + minimum... then again they'll be redundent soon lol

Sorry, it's hard to tell in this place sometimes.
I imagine stock will also be pretty bad and the demand high for the 3900, especially after already seeing the 3080 benchmarls.

It's still not a full 4k 60 card. That I expected. If you want that? top end. That is why I bought a Titan XP three months after launch for half the price. It got me through FO4 @ 4k 60, cool beans. Then more games came out and you are back to square one.
For lower end 4k 60 cards you need to wait for 5nm TSMC next gen. Which from what I heard could finish AMD once and for all. 8nm Samsung won't, though.

I have cancelled but I'm happy to know that I would have been vram limited with some tasks anyway and I sat on my 2080ti so thats getting chucked back in and taken down from ebay. I can game at top settings for now just not 4k120. I'll buy when stock is sitting unsold somewhere in January. I'll have a good go 1400-1405 on the 24th as I've got £1500-£1800 of GPU income saved up just for an upgrade and I guess if I fail that I'll upgrade my whole system instead.

No, he absolutely plans to scam people.. how many times was this done on short supply new console launches??
Of course it's not his fault, it's the person buying for not paying particular attention..
Any ebay experts around? What do the stars mean? Is it positive feedback? Because the top bidder, as of writing this, has 451 stars.https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gigabyte...527234?hash=item289d773582:g:eb8AAOSwsQJfY75K

Interesting CPU choice
.I wonder what Amd's APU's will be like at 5NM look at the lastest laptop APU chips, will the desktop APU's put a lot of pressure on low end Graphic card's.
