NVIDIA to Introduce Official High-End RTX 30-series Price Cuts
NVIDIA is working with its board partners to introduce price-cuts for the higher-end of its GeForce RTX 30-series "Ampere" graphics cards, in addition to game bundles. This would see the flagship GeForce RTX 3090 Ti drop in price from $1,999 to $1,499, a 25% price-cut. The RTX 3090 (non-Ti) sees its price cut from $1,499 down to $1,299, or a 13.3% cut. The RTX 3080 Ti slides from $1,199 down to $1,099, an 8.3% cut. The RTX 3080 12 GB will finally be available at or below its MSRP of $799, while remaining inventories of the original RTX 3080 10 GB sticks to $699.
In addition to these price-cuts, NVIDIA is bundling "Ghostwire Tokyo" and "DOOM Eternal" Year One Pass (base game + two DLCs), with these cards as part of a game bundle. NVIDIA is competing with not just a sudden drop in demand stemming from the crypto-currency mining crash; but also crypto miners flooding the market with used cards.

I predict this does nothing more than prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Huang has been gaming alllll the ngreedia fanboys with his weakass mining cards and asic bs. I need my fanboys! Come bail me out my good ol' buddies and pals!
It seems like this Euro/Dollar situation might make it even worse for us in the EU, especially after the next restocking.
Turing was stupidly overprices, unfortunately people had amnesia (worse even the so called reviewers) completely missed this.
On the other, NV even leaked slides in which they were boasting that people "stick to a model number".
I.e. 970 users bought 1070, even though price went up quite a bit.
Which leads to an obvious marketing strategy.
Even the 3070ti are doing relatively well in promotions.
For this reason they are not looking for more ways to lower the price of these Entry and Median cards.
After all of the crooked shit they've pulled I'm done with ngreedia. For the first time since the 1800xtx Ill be buying an AMD card ;) Just waiting to see how low the limbo bar falls hehe.
I think we have been let down by any reviewer who said Ampere are a good jump in performance, they should've done their job and see beyond marketing, but lots of them are either fanboys or afraid to speak up against nVidia/Intel or AMD.
