NVIDIA GeForce RTX Ampere AIB Cards Listed on Overclockers UK, Official EU/UK Pricing Published
NVIDIA just yesterday made a big announcement and forced everyone to turn their head and check out what are they doing. Today, we are finding the first listings of Add-In-Board (AIB) partner cards and their respective price points. Thanks to the findings of a Reddit user u/slyquick we have information about the pricing of RTX Ampere cards in the UK/EU, specifically on the Overclockers UK website. There are listed several models of AIB cards, covering the whole range of RTX 3070, 3080, and 3090. NVIDIA has officially published the UK/EU pricing of the cards with Founders Edition (FE) GeForce RTX 3070 costing $499 in the US, costing about £469. The OCUK website lists RTX 3070 AIB cards at £449 and the highest costing models are about £499.
Next up comes GeForce RTX 3080, a GPU costing $699 in the US, is being officially listed for £649 by NVIDIA. On the OCUK website pricing starts at £639, and goes as high as £848.99 for ASUS ROG Strix Gaming OC card. The bigger brother of the RTX Ampere lineup - the RTX 3090 - is priced at $1499, while NVIDIA lists it at £1399 for EU/UK pricing. AIB cards are going anywhere from the NVIDIA FE card at £1,399, all the way up to at £1589.99. This is a big markup compared to the FE model, however, AIB cards are known for providing better cooling solutions and better power delivery circuit.

God. This gauging/milking/rip-off junk has to stop. No one forces you to buy anything. Where I live the recommended price for the RTX 3070 is 20% higher than the average monthly(!) salary in the country. Do I complain about the pricing? Nope.
Do the card will be out of stock quick?
I'd really like to see what RDNA2 brings but if raster performance is also double rt performance on the 3080, I am likely going to buy it. Why wait another two months for an unknown? Not too concerned about a possible $100 price drop as that barely covers the two bottles of liquor I drink every week.
So good luck trying to get one of Ampere for these prices. Little to no chance given how scarce numbers are meant to be.
If you're thinking of buying a 2080 or even a 2080 Ti, think about it this way, if a 3070 is say 50% (random number) faster than a 2080 Ti, then hopefully the price of the Ti will drop that bit more.. That said, if the highest priced 3070 is 'only £500', how much are you going to pay for your 2080 Ti?? I wouldn't be paying more than £300 with the postage of the card, why would you??
I also heard that a 2080 Ti Kingpin card sold for $650....
It's a loony bin of graphics cards right now....
Jokes aside, they have literally killed their own product with making them that cheap and everyone has gone into Lemming mode to try and sell their card, loose so much money on the sell just so they can hopefully get one of these newer ones... I'm so glad I never bought a 2 series card....
Look's like they have plenty of 2070 Supers to sell still, it will be interesting to see what happens, that is like 1080 Ti plus some new goodies, I'd be happy to pick a new one up for.... cheap.
I hope they'll be stuck with huge stock and sell them at a huge loss, the 2080ti needs to be at most 450$ now.
I think Nvidia went the apple route with the 2000 series already. They bake big chips where the faillure rate is high. No wonder the price is like 3 times. Yes, it sucked so much, that both Microsoft and Sony where convinced to set their base for the next generation of consoles. 5700 series is a succes.
