Who in their right mind puts a waterblock on a mid-range card?!? Let alone charges £800 for the privilege?!
Are waterblocks even available for 3060, the cards have only just arrived.

I doubt it's even worth slapping a waterblock onto a 3060.Are waterblocks even available for 3060, the cards have only just arrived.
Can anyone confirm what the current going rate for the various graphics cards are? I have periodically gotten lucky and managed to get a graphics card into the basket, however I am not sure if the price I am paying would be fair (relatively fair given the circumstances).
I did manage to get a 3060 into basket earlier however it was priced at £1400 with a waterblock attached to it already, so this wasnt much use, but the price was definitely something to gawk at!
3090 FE: £1,850
3080 FE: £1,269
3070 FE: £827
3060: £520.
I have to say, prices have spiked again in the past 3 weeks.
No they haven't. They are the same now as they have been direct. He's talking about retailer scalping prices or OEM prices.Did NVIDIA move the price on FE cards?
I was about to post in this thread that cards at MSRP no longer exist and are impossible as the cost prices are beyond MRSP before even factoring in shipping cost and profits.
That the only chance was FE cards but if NCIDIA have pushed their pricing up then the AIB cards will only get even more expensive!

Last I heard that store in Bolton is still a retail store i mean you can buy them from a well known market place too scalped.Retailers don’t sell FE cards and as such then the only chance of MSRP still stands, an FE card from NVIDIA which will be shipped by the well know store in Bolton.
AIB cards won’t get even close to MSRP this year if ever again as the board partners sell them into distribution higher than the MSRP to begin with then factor shipping cost and profit margins from distributor and reseller, MSRP was only ever valid on FE cards.

The FE gives nvidia the ability to say it's cards are priced cheaper. Outside of that the rest of the cards are another Turing for price to performance with 3080s priced like 2080tis, 3070s and 3060tis priced like 2080s and 2070s and 3060s virtually matching the performance of a 2060super for around the same price that card was going for over 18 months ago.Do we all understand that first hand FE cards will always be RRP from Nvidia, delivered by the competitor Gibbo alludes to above?
MSRP is meaningless now outside of 1st hand FE.

you do realise that people are buying them direct from nvidia right? its others peoples choice to pay above the odds, try not to believe all the bs you read on the internet.Do we all understand that first hand FE cards will always be RRP from Nvidia, delivered by the competitor Gibbo alludes to above?

It's very difficult to buy from Nvidia, though.
I got lucky with a 3090 in Jan. Since then, I've been trying to get a hold of either a 3070 or a 3080 and despite getting involved with three drops and getting one in my basket two of those times, I've not managed to actually get one.
