This nearly 2 year old card's prices just keep rising. With the bitcoin thing over and the new rtx 20xx series out. This fucking card is still £1000. I swear it was £800 during the bitcoin gold rush.
Fuck this shit. Am I never going to be able to own a high end pc. Not even a fucking 2 year old card. |

And I thought it was expensive when I bought mine during the summer..

Honestly how much could you get for one of these used now ? Really thinking about selling mines and getting a 2080ti

I should have bought one a few months ago when they were on sale. Didn't know the RTX series would be so pricey and that the failure rate would be high (2080 Ti). My graphics card (970) can't handle new games at 4K/60 FPS with all settings turn to low anymore. Even overclocking doesn't help. Maybe it's time to switch back to AMD again with their upcoming RX 3080. I heard it could match the 2070 for half the price. I just hope the aftermarket ones would stay below 70c at full load and not sound like a rocket engine max fan speed.

I ran Fallout 4 with all settings set to low and unchecked the additional settings to manage a consistent 60 FPS and that game came out 3 years ago so no unless it's a Pixel Graphics game like Wizard of Legend which came out this year. |

Just get an rtx 2800 lol. Same performance as 1080ti and cheaper with better future support. The 10xx gtx line are even more overpriced than rtx now lol. For some reason ppl are still obsessed with getting them pushing the price well beyond the reason that it originally made sense.

Welcome to how monopolies work , enjoy your stay ~ I always love seeing people deny that monopolies are harmful. I've seen all kinds of excuses. "It would be silly to hike up prices because people won't pay them! It's obvious they'll keep them the same because that's what people are willing to pay! lol so much paranoia XD" And every single time a corporation has the opportunity to bilk money out of you, they always, always will. Corporate culture in America in particular is built on the idea of "What can we get away with?" and we see this acutely with gaming. Can we get away with locking content away on the disc and selling it back to them? Can we get away with cutting content out entirely and selling it back day one? Can we get away with changing the game balance so people buy microtransactions? Can we get away with pushing gambling on gamers aged 3 and up?

Um, high end PCs are not a human right. The 1080ti is still a bad fucking ass card, high end as you said. I bought mine for $700 when they were available for preorder so with the exchange rate it's not that much more. Pay to play with the best fidelity my friend.

We are a constitutional republic to be more accurate. I don't know China's system very well, but unlike the president in America, the current leader of China doesn't have many, if any, checks to his power. The president in our system is accountable to the voters, the media, the other two branches of government, and of course, the constitution itself.

2080ti burning up. 1080ti discontinued. Not enough performance difference between them to be meaningful to most people. It's like with games or consoles, as soon something gets discontinued it shoots up in price, often also because the next model / version is inferior. I mean. Look at that, that's not even a special edition... https://www.play-asia.com/playstation3-slim-console-world-soccer-winning-eleven-2010-bun/13/703ma4 Imagine what a new launch model goes for...

So what can I do? I've been waiting years. Should I just give up and settle with a 1070ti

Try a vega 64 and maybe give it one of those morpheus 2 +fans. Or wait for navi or 2070 rtx reduction.

They are only that high because Nvidia went all special ed on the rtx pricing. And speaking of, what the hell? I get you gotta pay-to play but there’s more Nvidia defenders here than I thought.... do so few people think Nvidia pricing is nuts?

Welcome to how monopolies work , enjoy your stay ~Pretty much. Waiting till the 2080 Ti becomes $999. And yess it will go that low. It was the promised price. It was only $1200 cause it was for the first time Nvidia launced a card in a open air configuration. Once third parties start manufacturing them it will go to $999.

Yeah this whole situation is fucked.
If AMD doesnt come full force with a match to the 2080 for half the price with their 7nm GPU, they are missing a HUGE fucking opportunity. I feel like this is the perfect opportunity for a momentum switch, given the recent shit with RTX, and the insane pricing, as well as keeping prices on 1000 series even higher than launch prices by a wide fucking margin (i got mine in march of 2017 for $650), that people are looking to upgrade, and a ton of people would switch over to AMD if the benchmarks prove the rumors to be true. I already disliked nVidias business practices with their rising prices over the years, but when they launched RTX--that was some next level shit IMO, and they are legitimately off the fucking chain currently. They need to be leashed, and brought to heel. Consumers in every market have never been more fucked over at any point in time than they are now, and we're only ONE single tweet away from bringing down a conglomorate with todays social media structure...my point is, all it takes is AMD to follow through, and nVidia putting out some slap in the face discount and acting like we should thank them, and suddenly AMD is pulling back large amounts of marketshare. Whether you have an AMD product in your system or not, you should want this to happen. AMD needs to flex, and get nVidia back in check, and they can, with our help. Thats only going to happen if they can fucking deliver...hopefully they do.

“Wahhh Ferrari’s are too expensive! I’m going to have to drive around in a Porsche!!” This is such a flawed argument when the 2016 ferrari is just 4/mph slower, but half the price of the 2018 ferrari. $650 for a GPU is high end as fuck. Thats what i paid for my 1080ti when i got it, and i would not have paid a dollar more than what i did. 2 years later the 2080ti comes out for twice the cost, with your typical 10-15% faster fps in some games. The jump between the 900 series and 1000 series was MASSIVE. The jump between the 1k series and 2k series should be massive. And its not, even factoring in this bootleg ass RT tech, the returns on the investment do not look promising. Especially when the next RTX cards end up outperforming these by 2-3x or something ridiculous and cost EVEN more than they currently do. The Car market has apparently crashed, and it now costs as much to buy a porsche this year as it did to buy a ferrari two years ago, and the ferrari now costs as much as a fucking tank ''cause it just works''. You have no reason to support these practices. I dont understand the rationale behind your comment, unless its legit just to troll lol, which if it is, oh well.

What would you expect for a card that is out of production lmfao? I dont understand how someone could be this stupid. Usually when a card is out of production the price goes DOWN. Especially after the next generation of cards hits the market. But this cycle is different because the 20XX cards are such a fucking rip off that there is more demand on the older generation cards then the new cards. A week before the 20XX cards launched you could get a 1080ti for around 350-400 dollars. Soon as people saw the 20XX cards were a swindle the 1080ti shot right up in price.

Probably just scalpers selling end of line stock at inflated prices because they know some idiot will pay that extra money for an old card. Probably SLI or something. not at all ebay/other forums they're going for 600 plus used etc
