Its not so much ocuk fault either as clearly with the 3080 cards, as they became in short supply, the manufacturers (or intermeditories) put their prices up for future batches.
I can imagine it went it like this,
Givbbo secures a batch of 50 cards from Asus at £600 and plans to sell at MSRP at £649. As demand increases round the world, Asus then wants £640 for the second batch due to land a few days after the first. Asus says they can sell them 100 times over to any other retailer so Gibbo either wants them or doesnt? So Gibbo buys them
So plan is for the first 50 cards to sell at MSRP and then once sold out, the next 50 people get charged £689 etc. But that got people mad as prices changed from basket to payment screen.
So this time Gibbo has some 3090 he has only paid the right price to sell them at MRSP on launch day but the next batch are already more money so he is going to sell them all at the second price so people dont complain at price increases during checkout,.

It may be the fastest card for gaming, even if its is only around a paltry 10% faster than the 3080, but lets be honest, its not really for gaming, its more for productivity.

I don't believe that is how it works ! OC UK will have in place with all these suppliers a set discount RATE they get across the board on products. in fact generally speaking the more they order the better discount rate they get generally speaking ! My Guess is OC UK are paying around 20% to 30% Less RRP on these cards than we are so that's 20 to 30% Profit for them before they have even sold the card.... I don't believe MSI & ASUS will charge more because of demand........ to the dealer...
Its fair to say MSI and ASUS will give different rates. My guess is by going by the prices OC don't get such a great rate with MSI as they do ASUS.

Hahaha. Justification for putting the prices up ahead of release.
I’m sure that works out well for OCUK, not sure about mere consumers though!
You do realise that the group who leaked these "dodgy" 3090 benchmarks are the same ones who leaked the 3080 ones that proved to be 100% legit right?Everybody please believe these dodgy benchmarks and don't buy a 3090 on launch day.
Hopefully if people do the above I will be able to snap up a 3090 without having to fight off swarms of bots.

But for some reason their 3090 is only boosting to low 1700 and they are comparing it to a 3080 boosting to 1950.
So their results may be valid at those settings as the 3080 is running 11% faster.
The big question is why is the 3090 only boosting to low 1700s?
Is that the same with all 3090 FE because they only have the same 370W as the 3080 or is this going to be the same on AIB cards with three 8 pin power conenctors.
If "you can" get a 3090 boosting to the same 1950Mhz then the results would show a 20% performance increase as expected.
And doubt that will be the last increase before Thursday, Its wasnt with the 3080s,
Well if they slip in an extra £100 a day between now and launch it’ll still be under £2K.
What are we complaining about.

It'll hold it's value until there is something better and then it will tank
Like all GPU prices.
Question is when this will happen. Obviously the next generation will beat it, this should be a couple of years away though?

That isn't nvidia though... Its ocuk
Yep, 2 years in all likelihood.

There's a reason Nvidia refer to the 3080 as the flagship card. The 3090 is not really a gaming card and the 24GB of vram should indicate this. Unless you are doing big 3d renders and such you just don't need this card.
It's a truck, yes it's a lot more powerful than your car, but it's not really built for the average user.

Of course its Nvidia they only gave the green light to start manufacturing AIO's in August they knew they'd be in short supply heck manufacturers didn't even get drivers until after the reviewers according to GN they didn't even know how much they were going to retail for until the Nvidia presentation they found out when we did, stock's in short supply so up go the prices -> Nvidia rakes it in. They could have built up stocks and shipped long before launch but its not in Nvidia's interest to do so they knew retailers/manufacturers would get the blame and guess what; Nvidia gets a free pass as they always do.

No.
It's 100% retailers.
They can keep the price NV set out and still make money.
But no, Some put the price as much as £100 a day.
While some stay at the price and gain customers.
