U gonna get £900 for old Radeon vii? What crazy times we live inYes, it's obviously extremely expensive.R VII are going for good prices at the moment (usual mining reasons etc) but would still only cover about half the price.

Graphics card prices?

When Bitcoin took off the first time around in 2016 cards like the RX480 were hard to a hold off but once ASCI's came online the difficulty increased and soon become unprofitable which finally killed off demand and things returned to normal shortly after.
Newer cypto currencies are ASCI resistant which puts the onus on general compute hardware to pick up the heavy lifting of decrypting this stuff. Until someone figures out a way to build an ASCI to decrypt coins like Ethereum it will take ages for GPU's to increase the difficulty enough to make it unprofitable. The only sliver lining is with the price cypto remaining high it should encourage development of faster ways of decrypting.

Good hash rate apparently due to the high memory bandwidth, even if it's not so hot game wise comparatively. Would likely get a lot less in "normal" times - but then new cards would be more reasonably priced too.
I bought the card on release and it was £700 or so then, plus the cost of the EKWB waterblock and back plate on top of that later. Would replace with a 6800XT if I could find one, and at a reasonable price. The 6900XT Liquid Devil just caught my eye since it was in stock and already had the waterblock..... and the price for the wrong reasons.
Lol ok. what u consider reasonable for 6800xt? They not so cheap either if available at allGood hash rate apparently due to the high memory bandwidth, even if it's not so hot game wise comparatively.

My mate got a 6800xt for £700 a couple of weeks ago. He walked into a pc shop in hong kong, they had plenty of 6800s as well.
Why are 3060ti's selling for over £1k on Ebay now? Is it a good mining card as seems to have overtaken the 3070?
I haven't found any stock yet and all the latest prices seem to be £1000+ lol.
There were some 6700XTs in stock in a few places yesterday but again just too much mark up.
This community has spent years making the owners of these component shops very rich, now they are rinsing us all for the pleasure. Lovely.

Surely could have got 3k for it. Someone somewhere is surely willing to spend that much on a card that was for sale for £650 in September and (occasionally still is).
960 but not bad considering other places asking for 1.2k- 1.5k!
Ufff... I bought yesterday 1x Zotac RTX 3070 for 799.99 and 1x RTX 3070 Suprim X for 899.99...
After thinking about it for 24h I've cancelled the order, the prices make me feel sick.
I bought this week RX 6800 XT for £749.99
These RTX Prices are just too much for me.
I remember back in 2017 when I bought from Overclockers cards for £350 each after 2-3months barely worth £100-150
Best to hold back instead of wasting 1700 on two cards..

It's a sellers market, prices will rise to infinity until the buyers lose interest or market forces drive down prices.

Would anyone think buying a 2060 for £400 is acceptable in the current pricing market? I have a 1050ti right now and it really sucks
Honestly no, wait for a 3000 series card drop for the Nvidia FE and get a 3070 or 3060ti. Get yourself on a discord channel with stock drops.

Welcome back to 2019 everyone (with 2021 pricing).

The other place are now charging £1020 for a 3080 (in a system) that is supposed to retail at £720.
Starts to make the 3090 look appealing, maybe that's the point.

3060ti: £369
3070: £469
3080: £649
3090: £1399
