I'm not sure what the rush to even get these "voucher" codes are :p The prices are still **** even after the "discount" :D

I mean £680 for a 3070 :cry: I don't think I'll be scrambling to get that deal anytime soon.


Just shows how far out and miss leading those MSRP's are for the FE cards as the AIB partners cannot even get close at trade cost price to an MSRP. The fact is for an Asus TUF OC £680 is damn cheap, they sell online for around £1000-£1200 each.

Huh I thought £680 is quite reasonable for an AIB card, isn’t FE like £529? AIB are usually £100+ FE Aren’t they?

I'm afraid we differ on what you we call "cheap" for a 3070, or any of the new cards for that matter. Equally if the MSRP's were as much as £680 for a 3070 I wouldn't be paying that for the performance it offers. If it's a sign of what future releases are going to be, then I've made the right decision to wind down my PC gaming days and move onto pastures new.

Nope £469 for the 3070 FE. So over £200 more for an AIB model.

True, sadly I don’t have access as I’m new to forums so I have to wait

I shall do more voucher deals in a few weeks time so it gives people time to contribute to the forum and hopefully gain access to MM and the broken GPU deal section which is a bit hit or miss if it works but its better than nothing.

When it comes to the relative prices of these cards, I think I've become completely addled by stock-watching. £680 for a 3070 seems like an okay price to me, whatever flavour it is. Maybe I'd think differently if I already had one - it's all so very subjective.

Great to hear but I don’t think I’ll be active enough to hit the 1000post requirement lol

The GPU Deal section is 50+ post and member over 180 days, however this does not guarantee excess unfortunately as it is somewhat broken but its the best we can do.

At the top of the GPU section page.
Thanks for the quick reply, unfortunately I can't see anything there.

All I do see is:
Forums > Hardware >
Graphics Cards
Graphics Card and drivers discussion. Check out the OcUK AMD Graphics Card Range and OcUK Nvidia Graphics Card Range.

Looks like it's another four years at my current post count to access the MM :D

It’s hit and miss as @Gibbo mentioned as it’s broken, so no guarantee you’ll have access

Do you have an idea what models will likely be coming up in deals? May affect peoples decision making knowing what might be available for a reasonable price.

Thanks Gibbo,
Looks like it not working for me then (Forum member since 02 July 2019 and currently 326 posts)
Could it be a browser issue at my end ?
