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.

I guess it's win win for us, but how much they have screwed people over for the price of these RTX 2 series cards, they have to do right this time to get people more so back interest so lets hope that they have the supply to cope with the demand of what they are going to cause... I'm not so sure....
Yep it was tough to pass on but turns out to be the best decision saw a evga 2080ti ftw3 ultra with hydro copper for 1300.us too and passed.
We already have one company in South-Africa (Evetech) that have listed the RTX3000 series far above the suggested MSRP, a whole +86%, for each one, RTX3070/3080/3090... all of them.
What annoys me the most about these resellers, they will do their utmost to keep the prices that high for half a year or more to get rid of their old stock, as if it's our fault they bought in bulk before a new product launch and at the same time, they will never sell their old stock at clearing prices despite those products no longer retaining their original worth.
It's truly disgusting, this country is one made up of thieves and gougers, fairness and righteousness no longer rule here. There used to be institutions that made sure this doesn't happen but I am sure they are all happily "in-on-the-take" to look the other way.
I am sure South-Africa isn't the only country doing this, hopefully if you are in the same boat, you don't have to feel so alone. This world has truly gone to the dogs, the average working Joe just can't forget his troubles or get ahead, it's truly disgusting.
