It's not just them - all UK retailers are doing it.
PS - Amazon.it just cancelled my 3080
Apparently, their supplier no longer knows when they'll get them in now.

Yes but OcUK are the worst of the worst, they trundle out the old exchange rate excuse bullshit everytime they need a reason to bump up their prices by £50, They're just full of it and as far as I know they're the only ones still taking pre-orders and payment up front on products they have no idea whatsoever as to when they will get in stock.

I only know a few EU RRP (specifically for France and with 20% VAT applied) and that's in euros, but that might help you estimate prices in pounds.
Nvidia FE: 720€
ASUS TUF: 720€
ASUS TUF OC: 750€
ASUS Strix: 820€
ASUS Strix OC: 850€
GB Gaming OC: 770€
But as you said even official retailers are price gouging now and it seems ASUS decided to permanently increase the price of the TUF when they realised it was the most sought after AIB.

have you tried disabling SMT? I wonder if that sees improvement. If you need a 3090 and a 8 core 5ghz oc to get decent frames... it's not viable
The game is the lead example of why RT is not there yet. There has to be better implementations... rather than brute forcing it

No, I haven't tried disabling SMT. I honestly don't even personally care, because I'm well aware of how demanding ray tracing is in 4K without DLSS, even for an RTX 3090.
Playing the game at 4K with ray tracing off is fine for me.

Hopefully RayTracing comes with options in the future. On which aspects to have on/off
Still dont understand how Consoles can pump out RT at 60fps. Especially AAA games

But CAN they? Or is it 'hacked' RT?

I dont know but if little Timmy is playing Spiderman at 60fps with some form of RT while we're here struggling in our $3000-$4000 rigs.... its kina weird. Brute forcing it, is not the solution IMO
DLSS further proves that native 4K is not worth it. There's no reason to want native 4K at the present time, its a waste of resources

Aaah From what I remember, Spider-Man basically has some kinda botched RT - not true reflections, lower resolution too. Things would COULD be implemented on the 3080/3090 to improve performance without being has high a hit, but still look great

Thats what I'm looking for... eventually

I really agree with you. Developers need to guage the benefit of full ray tracing at a massive performance hit, or lower it down and focus on the bits that matter. Or like Checkboarding helped the PS4 Pro with performance, maybe implement that kinda tech but to shadows / ray tracing - most people won't tell the difference unless taking screenshots.
Or give people the ability to turn on/off certain ray tracing elements.

3090s are becoming more available, pulled the trigger on the Aorus 3090 Xtreme that's said to be available soon.

Two of my close to launch day orders, that I'm keeping for a friend of mine, have still no status update. Unknown delivery date.
Guess I was lucky as hell to get one already.

I managed to get a 3080 from Novatech within 2 days of actually trying, in the UK.
A mix of Distill for Chrome to monitor pages for change, StockInformers discord channel and PriceAlert on Twitter.
Also, Alternate.de - set up a mailbox.de forwarding account and they can ship there and have it redirected to you. Could have got a 3080 a few times from them (and DID get one but cancelled when the UK one came up) - so could have got 2 in 1 day.

Yeah it get tiresome as fuck. I've got 3080fe month ago for 700 and everyone is like: ti this, 16gb that, but amd...
I have 2nd best card on the planet. You cannot future proof of you would always wait

Totally true. My 1080Ti never filled its memory. Closest I have with the 3080 is 9GB for urm watchdogs

do not think like this when you buy tech,

Welcome to the tech world? When you get something thats it, enjoy it. If you’re going to regret having whatever just because there’s something new coming out, then you shouldn’t bother at all.

what have they said? I heard its between a 3080 and 3090 and has 16GB.
If it comes out within my upgrade window from EVGA, I may upgrade. With the 6900xt being $999, I can't see them charging more than that for the FE. Like I said, hopefully it comes out in December or January so I can upgrade.

Rumours says that it has 20GB of VRAM.
This is massive if true.
So if this happens I suppose we can thank AMD for it?

It also makes the 3090 useless, which is a strange product to have...

When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, what will I be
Will I be pretty, will I be rich
Here's what she said to me.
Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.
When I was young, I fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will we have rainbows, day after day
Here's what my sweetheart said.
Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.
Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother, what will I be
Will I be handsome, will I be rich
I tell them tenderly.

20GB makes no sense. I know there was an initial 20GB rumor but then it was 'cancelled'.Rumours says that it has 20GB of VRAM.
This is massive if true.
16GB is all we would need for gaming applications ( for the foreseeable future ). We're barely pushing 10GB now, adding that much co$t to the card would make it unattractive... for nVidia and the consumer. I dont think nVidia goes above $999.

I believe it can only be 10gb, 12gb, 20gb or 24gb.

Apart from the 1080Tis 11GB
Totally different. Those are the only options with DDR6X currently due to the bus width on the 3080 and 3090.

I don't know, if its as fast as 3090 at say $1,000, that's still not great value for 10% ish more performance. The performance jump from 1080 to 1080ti was very significant, if they were to hit such levels then color me interested.

Aorus RTX 3090 Xtreme is without a doubt the biggest graphics card I've had in my hands yet! Barely fits in my Corsair X680 lengthswise.
It's also quite a bit cooler than the Ventus 3X, Metro Exodus at the start ran in the low 60C, with the Ventus is was close to 80C.

then it will probably be 12GB. 20GB will add way too much cost

Today I finally received a notification that the RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra Gaming is available for purchase; I signed up to be notified on October 5th.
My original plan was to wait to be notified that the registration of my 3080 into the Step-Up program for the 3090 was ready to be fulfilled; however, I've been told that EVGA is still fulfilling registrations that were filed on September 24th!
So, I've scrapped that plan; I've ordered the 3090 and I've put my 3080 up for sale on eBay.

Maybe all this time I’ve waited patiently for a 3090 I want to be in stock will actually pay off?Rumours says that it has 20GB of VRAM.

Seemed to be a big drop of cards this morning on Best Buy. I got the ping from Discord as I was leaving for work this morning. Ran to my PC and sure enough, I was able to snag a Founders Edition 3080. Was late for work because of it, but it was worth it. Should be here Thursday. So fucking excited!
