No 3070 or 3080s

£1400 3090 in there with the 3060Ti.

£1,049 for a 3080 Ti (basically a 3090 which failed QC). I'd probably go for that if I didn't have a GPU.

If you are paying £1049, just get the 3090 for the 24Gb of VRAM. Otherwise, buy the 3060Ti or wait for the 3070/3080 drop (who knows when).

Mistakes were made.

£700 for the 3060Ti :fp:

Big oof there. That's verging on the original MSRP for a 3080FE isn't it?

Knoyleo wrote:£700 for the 3060Ti

Eh? £360 at scan. Great card.

Partner card was £700.

The only one I can see in stock is the £700 one.

They're all gone now, but the FE cards aren’t listed on Scan, you have to go to nvidia’s site and when you go to buy it takes you to a special product page on Scan.

This is why I basically thought they were impossible to obtain, and ended up paying over the odds for my 3080Ti. I’d never, ever seen the FEs in stock so I thought there was no hope of getting one.

Discord part alerts or hot uk deals are good.

They had 3060Ti, 3080Ti and 3090 in that drop. All of which I reckon drop every couple of weeks.

3070s might be once a month and 3080s I’ve seen once in 6 months.

I set up a tweetdeck tab on my browser with both of these in it, filtered to remove the Amazon links. Founders drops on scan are nearly every week - so if you pay attention to these two accounts you should be able to pick one up if you're quick enough. 3080ti and 3090s seem to be the slowest to sell out. Seriously go for a founders card if you can, cause you will definitely pay over their value on a 3rd party card.

This is a link to the Nvidia site with all the prices for the FE cards

Don't buy from Amazon and be extremely cautious about buying an "Exdisplay" card from Ebuyer. They are "refurbished" but they don't really give you much info on why they're that way.

Awwww yeah, GoG just added 6 Star Trek games,

Elite Force
Elite Force 2
Bridge Commander
Starfleet Command 3
Hidden Evil
Away Team

All £8.39 each :datass:

Anyone register for the scan BBQ? It was in Bolton so I couldn’t go, but apparently the the 3080s were in high demand and sold out. They have released what hasn’t sold to a special area of the website. Click the link and they have 3060/3060Ti/3070/3080Ti and 3090s for close to MSRP.

No 3080s. Debating whether the spend £1050 on a 3080Ti and sell my 3070. But I think too much.

I'm assuming they've gone now.

All I want is a 3060Ti to replace the noisy 2060 I currently have.

I think my GPU is on the way out completely. Temperatures flying up to 85° in some games in even pretty undemanding areas. The fans are working, and so are the case fans, but the temperatures still spike and then it crashes.

Great time to be shopping for a new GPU.

Are you playing No Man's Sky? I have been having the same issue but only on that.

No, it started with FFXIV, but I've now noticed it whenever I run anything more intensive than cookie clicker. Yakuza Kiwami 2 can't even make it past the menu. :fp:

3080Tis are back for £1050. Why am I tempted?

How long before the card number and the price are just the same thing? :lol:

It's basically a 3090 with less VRAM and when are you ever going to use 20GB of VRAM? I probably would have gone for a 3080Ti if I needed a GPU. Why pay extra for VRAM I'm not going to use?
