NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series Pricing Reaches 3x MSRP in Europe
NVIDIA's latest series of RTX 30 series graphics cards continue to remain elusive more than eight months after their release thanks to a combination of global chip shortages, logistics delays, and mining demand. The pricing for the latest generation graphics cards from various European retailers has been compiled and analyzed by 3DCentre and it paints a gloomy picture for gamers. The RTX 3080 now retails for 2999€ or 317% higher than the MSRP of 719€, other RTX 30 series cards saw price increases between 107% - 204%. This trend isn't exclusive to team Green with AMD's RX 6000 series also seeing significant price increases with the average price for an RX 6800 reaching 159% of MSRP at ~1600€, while other cards in the lineup see increases between 70% - 100%. The complete price history for all the cards tracked can be found at the source below. We don't see these prices falling significantly anytime soon unless there is a large drop in mining demand or a significant production increase.

but personally I think 700+ dollars is way too much for a videocard...heck I would say im generous/desparate if I were to pay 550....so this is all not good for my hopes that prices will become reasonable again...
Glad I got my 3080 and 3070 for MSRP, both recieved within a week after launch.
It's insane that GPU market just keeps getting worse and worse.
It's like all tech news outlets in EU had their heads in the sand and suddenly realized that consumers are getting screwed hard in EU by stores that match scalpers in their prices.
Here's X-Kom.pl, authorized Nvidia reseller in PL:
and AMD:
Yeah that one 3090 costs almost 20,000 PLN, which is roughly €4400.
the current UK ebay prices for a 3070 card is between £1200 and £1500 quid.. ebay is a pretty accurate true price discovery mechanism.. it always has been..
trog
For example a non Ti 3060 goes for around ~1350-1500$ from a well known retailer and its more like ~1000-1200$ from a scalper so I'm not even sure who is the real scalper here.:wtf: 'Those prices already include tax'
Both prices are atrocious ofc and its been like that for months now, actually more like half year at this point.
over the last few months i have acquired 8 x 3070 cards.. i paid around £1000 each for them and consider what i paid a bargain.. i dont let the fake msrp price confuse me.. i know what a real price is.. i also know what real bargain is..
i also paid £1045 for a 3080 card.. now that was a real bargain.. he he
trog
shortages only exist if the price is too low for the available supply... ebay prices adjust for this.. its all very simple..
as for ebay being full of scammers.. that is rubbish.. ebay is full of people buying and selling stuff.. if i want to sell something it goes on ebay.. if i want to buy something it comes from ebay.. i never have problems and i have been using ebay for many years..
trog
The problem with scalping on eBay is made worse by seller fees. You need to charge 10+% above what you paid to break even. On a £1000 card, that's already £1100. Now add your profit margin. Oh, and take the warranty out while you're at it. Bargain.
But yeah, both AMD and Nvidia were royally dishonest this GPU season with their fantasy MSRP.
This way you show middle finger to scalpers, Ngreedia, AMD, AIBs and greedy retailers. Let them suffer for their sins.
in a Communist world prices are fixed acute shortages will exist and a bunch of people will have to go without..
i aint saying which is right and which is wrong just that lot of people dont seem to be sure of what kind of world they live in.. some seem to want it both ways.. he he
