Absent of Official Announcement, NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti Graphics Cards Up for Preorder in China
Chinese marketplace Taobao has a number of retailers listing NVIDIA's RTX 3060 Ti graphics card for pre-order - a graphics card that hasn't officially been confirmed by NVIDIA. The Taobao listings fall within the 2049 to 2999 Yuans (305 to 446 USD) range; however, expectations are that NVIDIA's MSRP for the card won't be above $400. That retailers are already listing the card should all but confirm its existence, and marks an interesting way for NVIDIA to operate, introducing the Ti model before the actual RTX 3060 graphics card.
Current information places the RTX 3060 Ti as using the same 392 mm², 17.4 B transistor GA104 chip as the RTX 3070, albeit under the GA104-200 nomenclature; the chip is expected to leverage 4,864 CUDA cores, 152 Tensor Cores, and 38 RT Cores (the RTX 3070 features 5888, 184, and 46 of these respectively). Base clock is apparently set at 1410 MHz with up to 1665 MHz Boost, and should feature the same 8 GB GDDR6, 14 Gbps memory subsystem as the RTX 3070. The RTX 3060 Ti is expected to launch come mid-November, and perhaps we'll hear more about it when NVIDIA officially introduces the RTX 3070 graphics card.

If you have the choice to get either $5 or $10, your choice will be quite obvious.
As long as people buy their products, they have no reason not to increase prices. It's not greed, it's business without competition.
I didn't even mention inflation
EVERYONE wants lower priced parts, but whining about it doesn't change anything, it just pisses off forum members.You've been living under a rock if you think prices spiked just this year.
Nobody called RTX 2000 cheap.
Why is it people always whine about price? Prices have been cut nearly in half as opposed to the RTX2000 cards and yet the RTX3000's are stumping on that gen. Entitled BS.Right?
People instead of whining, make the personal commitment to spend a bit of time to save money up and get the card you want.
Back to the topic, based on the naming scheme INNO3D is one of the manufacturers, and they have a history of early releases and leaks in China.
Buyers are the best regulators of prices. If everybody buys the same brand, no wonder prices go up.
So why are you bringing this up at a time when Nvidia DOESN'T raise the prices, aka RTX 3000?
Charging what the market will bare.
But hey, if consumers are dumb enough to pay for overpriced products, who am I to stop them.
AMD controls gaming consoles, NVidia DIY GPU market. One big happy family and DIY PC enthusiasts get ripped off.
It's not that you're all wrong, it's just that it's futile to bring up here.
Listen to people who talk about money and prices all day is just as boring as greed.
For the first year ever we've seen severe shortages of Intel CPU's, AMD CPU's, and Nvidia cards simultaneously, and that's your conclusion? :rolleyes:
The bitterness in this thread never ends..
Turing moved every tier up from pascal and Ampere cemented the deal. Profit margins went up and stayed up with Ampere pricing.
Mid range GTX 1070 costed $379 in 2016 and now ppl are praising Nvidia for being able to buy xx70 GPU for $500. How can 32% price hike (24% price hike adjusted for inflation) in 4 years look like a good deal? That's simply insane.
You do know that RTX Titan cost 2500USD, that's 1000USD more than the RTX 3090, how convenient.Either way, this all happened two years ago, dunno why we're still talking about it.
However the 2070 Founders edition was 100USD more at 600USD,
RTX 3000 pricing is the same as RTX 2000 except for the 3090 at the moment, with 2070=3070 and 2080=3080 price wise.
Performance increases doesn't justify price increases when comparing old products against new ones, it's a stupid way to think when it comes to products like this as the prices would double every few years and performance per $ would never improve.The 3090 isn't successor to the Titan RTX, as it lacks many features that Titan cards had, it's more like a 2080 Ti successor with more memory than it should have.
Probably because prices are too high? RTX price hike was ridiculous, even if they didn't raise the prices this time, they still kept the stupid prices that came with Turing.
Haters gonna hate, you won't fix that on a forum. And you won't fix it using logic.
