NVIDIA GeForce RTX Series Prices Up To 71% Higher Than Previous Gen

NVIDIA revealed the SEP prices of its GeForce RTX 20-series, and it's a bloodbath in the absence of competition from AMD. The SEP price is the lowest price you'll be able to find a custom-design card at. NVIDIA is pricing its reference design cards, dubbed "Founders Edition," at a premium of 10-15 percent. These cards don't just have a better (looking) cooler, but also slightly higher clock speeds.

The GeForce RTX 2070 is where the lineup begins, for now. This card has an SEP pricing of USD $499. Its Founders Edition variant is priced at $599, or a staggering 20% premium. You'll recall that the previous-generation GTX 1070 launched at $379, with its Founders Edition at $449. The GeForce RTX 2080, which is the posterboy of this series, starts at $699, with its Founders Edition card at $799. The GTX 1080 launched at $599, with $699 for the Founders Edition. Leading the pack is the RTX 2080 Ti, launched at $999, with its Founders Edition variant at $1,199. The GTX 1080 Ti launched at $699, for the Founders Edition no less.

FluffmeisterThey are expensive, and I think we all wish they were going to be cheaper, but the cards will sell and find a market.
Yeah, I wish this trend will stop at some point. But we all know that point is when cards start collecting dust on the shelves, no sooner. Apparently, we're not there yet :(

TPU article about excessive prices

Lots of comments, right away, about how wonderfully affordable they are

Looks to see if Mr. Serling is standing nearby.

MS and Sony have these things they call consoles to sell you. They have terrible CPUs that would never have made the slightest dent in the market without having been propped up by this duopoly and the added bonus of causing consumers and developers to buy/release 3 different versions of the same game for the same x86 hardware platform. MS and Sony would like to tell you that you're very fortunate to be able to not buy into a single x86 hardware platform with a single software layer (Vulkan and OpenGL on Linux) — and also that you can, indeed, get AMD gpus at much lower prices. They are very "competitive". If they weren't, wouldn't we have so many other "consoles" to choose from?

At least they are cheaper compared to AMD Ray tracing cards, which are "priceless" right now.

Well for these prices I hope it's as good as my old Sapphire Radeon 9800xt. Which adjusting for inflation cost about the same as the 2080. What a beast it was.

bugThis is not their price gouging. It's your reading comprehension failing you.

one of my etailer listed some 2080 and 2080Ti ... i was right ...

2080: 900$+
2080Ti: 1400$+


this is ridiculous ...

edit ... and for the laugh : stock isn't 0 for the 2080Ti but -22 ... wild guess... "miner" :laugh: (if it is ... they should wait the bench before ravaging the stock and pushing the price even higher for the others )

one step closer for a Vega 64, the less ruinous option i have to upgrade from a 1070 :roll:

Does Nvidia want to kill PC gaming in Japan or something?

I supose otakus can pay that price.
With tue USD hitting a new high here, and creating some fear, we can now see the 1080ti reaching USD2,250 (ARS 90,000) on some less honest vendors. imagine the price for the 2080ti then.

2080 is cheaper than 1080 was at launch if you look at Cudacores pr $ Price, not by much but a Little :D



And Die Size Price is between 1080 and 1080TI...…. SO if RT and Tensorcores in not just Waste of Chip Space it could end up beeing a deasent to Good card. :D

~3 month ago i sell my 1050ti for 200$ (after a year, and bought it for 170$ :p) to prepare for the new incoming GPUs.
Looking at that ridiculous price, with the $ keep increasing in my currency, i just bought a 2 month used RX 580 8GB for 220$ from a desperate miner :p

GPUs sells will die lol
