3060’s on eBay for £750-£850, 3060 Ti’s/3070’s for £1100-£1300 and 3080’s for £1800-£2200. And what’s worse is people are actually buying them too and bidding on them

If they're on that place for that money then it doesn't mean they're selling for that. If they're getting bids then hopefully it's by scalper bots xD

These miners must sure make a bang for there buck to pay these prices on eBay ! I just want to play pc man on super graphics :cry:

I think it might be scalpers buying from scalpers and then reselling even higher which explains the prices creeping up. These arent going to be profitable for mining at 2k a card. Not at least within a reasonable time frame.

I can't see that changing any time soon... just feel sorry for gaming pre-orderers let down by money orientated miners. Another example of capitalism unchecked, you can't do a thing about it now, our hands are tied.

Well mining is slowly crashing :cry:.

I paid £660 @launch for my 3080 and I was tempted to sell back then for £1200 as I thought I'd be able to pick one up again for around MSRP in a month or 2 once things settled down but decided not to in the end and glad I made the right call now especially as I've made around 1k mining when I'm not gaming so it's a free card now with a bit of beer money on the side ready for when the pubs reopen.

I think I paid £830 ish for my 3080 and I felt it was expensive at the time, I could sell for Scalper-Bay prices now but I don't believe in scapling so I will never scaple the card.

The issue now is I need to build another Rig , mostly used by my cousin as she plays on my Rig too much, So I have bought all the components and looking for a 4K capable card. I'm also looking for a good 4K monitor ;)

Lol I bought a 3090 for £1700 and felt guilty about the expense so returned it.... I could have made £800-1500 if I'd kept it and sold it on now. That's insane!
Not sure why anyone (gamer) would bother trying to buy a 3080/3090 now that the 3080 Ti is imminent anyway

Got to admit tempted to get a tweakable Ti with the extra vram

That's one way to defeat miners :D.


We defeated them, but at what cost?

:cry:Is there a thread for rtx 3060 ti or is it not discussion worthy :cry: I want to pre order this card but man anywhere you look it’s just nothing I’m contemplating on getting 3 gtx 1060s and duck taping them together if that is even available.

Is there a set time (ETA) when pre orders will be available to get on lists again?

There's no ETA for when the next shipments arrive for cards, let alone the preorders getting fullfilled. Too early to tell.

The price of the Ti will be higher than the 3080, and availability is unknown and likely to be bad, so why not take a 3080 today if available at RRP?

It's crazy that i'm holding on to hope that the GPU will arrive some day.

I'm not far ahead of you! 775 currently... I still have hope but can't deny I did have a look at some of the in-stock AMD cards.

775?! Wow. When I ordered mine I was in like 187 in the queue. I think you should cancel and get a AMD card or downgrade to the 3070. At this rate you won’t get your card until like 2023 at the rate we are going
