Well, they are charging £1800 for GPU's that they don't have in stock...........................................consider it a bargain that they are only charging £1500 for a last gen card they do actually have in stock

I only asked because I'm sure I only paid £680 for 1080ti just after launch
Did you not see the nvidia launch video demo the rt effect with the ball.
that is worth £1000 right there!

Prices of GPUs now are disgusting. I would never ever ever buy a GPU like this.

Again, he is asking about a LAST GEN card, the 2000 series, 2080TI, of which there are two models priced at £1450~ currently for sale on the store.
Twice the price of a 3080.
Hence me assuming its a pricing error and tagging Gibbo.
yeh I know
Though I just Googled and other places have them listed for well over a grand too, several hundred more than the faster and newer 3080.
What is this madness...

Supply and demand. Some people might not even know about the new ranges so they opt for a 2080 instead.
Once upon a time a GPU would be 150 quid max and it would play everything you threw at it. Now a GPU costs more than a full build PC back in 2005.
I understand power is required now due to high end gaming, coding and apps as such but I’m not convinced they need to be priced as high as they are.
Bring back old school.
Ignoring the crazy halo products and gouged launch prices... a high end GPU is around £600? That gets you a decent chunk of very fast RAM, a GPU with more transistors than a CPU, a board with similar VRMs as a high end motherboard, a high end heat sink and fans etc... There's a lot going on with a high end GPU these days.
The PCB is a fraction of a motherboard. You don’t have IO circuits to worry about and their shielding etc. No chipsets, USB3 etc inputs and outputs. No secondary power regulators etc. It is not as complicated as motherboard.
the core design isn’t as complicated as CPU. GPU cores are scalable (unlike pU cores until zen came along). So it is cheaper and easier to fab.
the cost of GPU is ridiculously high. Just look at how much money Nvidia is making. Their main business is selling GPU for heavens sake.
if a drug dealer is selling the greens year on year for every year and nothing else and he s saying every year his profit margin is 60% and revue is X. It is very easy to work out how much he s getting his grass for.

it's almost like hyperinflation and as more demand kicks the old 2080ti's away they will be worthless

The 2080Ti launched at £1200, and never really came down below about £950. Yes it's last year's tech. You'd be mad to pay over about £500 now, but TBH they're not looking so bad as a longer term thing right now. And they're still selling for up to £650 second hand, likely because of the 30 series shortage.
3090's in stock at OCUK right now.Well, they are charging £1800 for GPU's that they don't have in stock...........................................consider it a bargain that they are only charging £1500 for a last gen card they do actually have in stock

Staying behind the curve is exactly what I'm doing Acme! I may be a little hypocritical having bought 2 1080Ti's back in the day, but that cost nothing like the prices of today, and at least I thought I was getting something for my money.
So another year on 1080Ti's it is. Unless the 3080Ti sells for around £800 but that's as likely as getting a BJ from Marilyn Monroe.
