Anyone just given up on looking for a new GPU?

Makes £1700 for a red devil 6900xt look like a bargain.

Welcome to caseking.de, the king of the retail scalpers. They currently have 7 different 3090 series in stock and of that 7 only one is under 3000 euros. Right now that toxic card is the most expensive gaming gpu on their site by 20-30 or so euro. But of course we're meant to believe they're buying it in at 3240 euro and are only making a few euro on it. :cry:

3060Tis for £700, why do they even bother giving me an alert at such a comical price.

Not quite a 6900XT for £2800, granted, but still comedy gold

When does this joke situation end, I'm tired of laughing.

"Toxic Radeon" Yup, those prices sure are toxic!

Not given up yet, but my guess is there will now be no supply of 3080s & 3090s until after the new LHR versions are released with the 3080Ti.

Which rather screws my plan to pay insane pricing for a 3090 then make the majority of the cost back mining Eth when I'm not gaming... :rolleyes:

Wow that is incredible...ly bad.

Looks like the prices are still going up , lets hope the LHR cards can help bring prices down

The only thing that brings the price Down is supply >demand. Nothing Else .

paying **** loads for a card you might be able to make somthing back mining is not ideal but at least its a plan, paying the same retard price for 50% hash rate is just the sellers bending us over and ******* us raw

As plans go it's pretty terrible tho. Inherently risky because Eth et al can crash at any time. Plus you're paying way, way over the odds for the card in the first place.

it depends if you have enough money for it not to matter. it doesnt matter. there are many people who will just pay whatever and not bat a eyelid. hopefully for most normal people mining bitcoin either comes up with something else to make gpus obsolete or...there is a big crash. until then retailers gunna scalp the **** out of it.

On a true 3D device, you can set 3D mode via a button on your remote control then the screen would go blurry until you were your 3D glasses. That is the button you need to press.

Nope. Epson 9300 is a 'true 3D device' and don't think it has this option. Some manufacturers have it, some don't. This isn't consistent with 'true 3D devices' . Just software option.

I have a 9400... I can force 3D via Menu>Signal>3D Setup>3D Display

Is the 9300 not the same?

AIB cards yet again *sigh*, nvidia ban them all until they enforce MSRP at retailers (with 10-20% on top for their coolers) and impose same sale restrictions.

I’ve given up, I’m the sort of person who goes for value for money usually, but this GPU upgrade I was going to spend about £ 600 ex VAT instead of the £ 200 I normally spend. But I’m not paying way over the odds for one.

I’ll stick with my RX 580 which still performs quite well.

Gerard · 7 May 2021 at 21:20

Not bad, doubled his money on a near 2 year old card that trades blows with the (msrp) £300 3060.

Surprises me amd haven't done what nvidia are doing and restarted production of older products with another foundry, obviously money to be made if this madness is anything to go by, people looking for (and getting) £800 upwards for a 5700xt.
