    Sorry OP, no offense, but while this may be one of the lower prices for a 3060 out there, it's still just completely ridiculous that 3060's are over £300 at all. It should never have been more than $300(US) at release, and two years later, to have a £310 3060 which is one of the worst versions out there(any of these mini cards), is beyond absurd.

    Nobody should be buying any of these Nvidia GPU's til Nvidia drops the prices meaningfully. If you do, then you're basically telling Nvidia they can get away with this and make this the norm in the future. Make no mistake, Nvidia *can* easily afford to drop the prices. AMD's RDNA2 prices have been lowered, and they're using a more expensive manufacturing process. Nvidia is simply holding out, hoping all you guys eventually just give in and say, "Well this is just how it's gonna be now, might as well just buy". It does not have to be this way, though. Nvidia aren't 'skimming margins' here by any means. They can easily afford to drop prices in order to boost sales if it becomes necessary, while still making a lot of money.

    I know rant about this plenty on here, but I really cant stress how important this is. Letting Nvidia win will mean the GPU market is permanently ruined going forward. (edited)

    Don't think there's going back to the old GPU prices. A lot of people were willing to pay double the current prices during the crypto boom. nVidia has a very profitable datacenter market for their crystals (e.g. ChatGPT is trained on a massive number of nVidia GPUs). I think also nVidia is keeping the prices high, so more people sign up for their GeForce now cloud gaming service - which will make them a lot more money per crystal over the years, than selling GPUs to gamers (one GPU in the cloud can be shared by say 5 gamers, each playing a few hours a day).

    Good deal op! There's an ASUS Dual one in 12GB on there also for a touch more. I grabbed one of those yesterday.

    I have an RX 580 in one PC and unfortunately need an NVIDIA card in it for various reasons including cuda-only 3d content creation. A 3060 is by no means a powerhouse for my workload, but it is also not the thick end of £1,000 and beyond while being able to run cuda-only software packages.

    Everyone and their dog is well aware that pricing today isn't pricing of yesteryear, NVIDIA tax has gotten even greedier, they're artificially inflating prices by holding so much stock and releasing it dribs and drabs, miners, holdays, new years... etc.

    None of this changes that some applications simply require nvidia's accelerators, so they must be bought. Old stock/seconds are ofc a thing but I don't want the hassle frankly and I'd suspect the majority of others in the situation would feel the same.

    Hopefully this one doesn't get doused in cold scorn for the manufacturer than your deal!
