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.

bonehead123Yes, and up there, they believe that can pee on all of us down here & tell us it is just raining (ie...golden showers) hehehehe :D
They can and did so*, while they had the miners as an alternate income stream. Now that that stream is drying up, the wheel starts to turn.

*Again, this has little to do with Nvidia directly, as they don't make cards. This was almost exclusively on AIBs. Nvidia's (and AMD's for that matter) only sin was they could not output as many GPUs as the market needed.

Hardly anyone wants those high end cards, even after discounts. Prices will go down further. Hold your nerve!

TheLostSwedeAll of them are already on sale here for far less than that.
Good for you! :D

That is not happening in my country. Neither do I see good prices in amazon (germany nor poland). So for now. Still pass.

I'm buying 2nd hand no matter what, just to show middle finger to greedy Jensen and Lisa.

Their evil deeds should not go unpunished. Let the shareholders suffer!

Lol, still not great. The whole line from the 12gb 3080 down should be dropped $100 more. Top 3, more than that. It's time for all these corporations to start taking L's.

Considering the product is already nearing its EOL, and also including a price market price markdown for all the frigging walled garden technologies they force on their users calling them "exlusive features" instead of embracing some common open standards for the sake of interoperability

This is just a fire-sale. The real question is what will be the pricing for Ada? Sadly, I don't think a $1,000 3080 Ti will be replaced by something in the $500 range.

even better for $170 less a 4060, 5888 Cuda with separate Int32 at 3.0GHz can easily be a 3080 contender like always btw, 1060 is 980, 2060 is a 1080, 3060 failed to be a 2080, but turing had a focus on RTRT and DLSS. Every time there is a shrink to a new node. the 60-tier is insanely fast. So Nv will deliberately try to make it weak with a 128 bit bus.

Shifting old stock before introducing the 40xx series. Now's the time to buy if you don't mind it soon being the last gen model. The 3080 12GB would be my choice fitting my budget if I was buying now, which I'm not.

Looks good to me for future 4000 series cards, but still to high, last gen and all that.

TheLostSwedeThey're starting at $270 for single fan cards here. Under $300 for two fan cards. Add a third fan and it's $340...
So where's #fangate, eh?

This could be a market intelligence move. Whether response is hot or tepid can help inform part of its 40-series launch and/or initial pricing strategies.

(The only thing cooked in the Nvidia show kitchen is what its leadership believes will maximize its shareholder value. It's unfortunate, but to mix metaphors, that's how the new GPU cookie crumbles, yeah?)

mechtechHey Nvidia, I just got a 2nd hand 6800 for $600 CAD. :)
I saw one on Kijji for 625. We need them to keep going down though. I have a block looking for a reference 6800/6900 series card.

Yeah they should have been the price tags at release altogether, they should be lower now near their EOL but I was being generous for the simple awareness of the sick price distortion that nVidia pulled off during the last years, and yes they should be the same release prices for the 4000 series too as you say.

I'm definitely not gonna pay anything more or just buy AMD instead, more over if it really team red is going to be more energy efficient as it seems so far.

Just sod off. Don't need any of these anymore. It wasn't easy to buy when it was needed. Now it's only a season for these cards to rot in their stock.

4070 should be better and cheaper.

You gotta be a massive retard to buy 30xx series cards when 40xx series are months away.

Tsukiyomi91still seeing RTX3060s going for over $400 over here. Guess I won't be buying ANY of these old cards anytime soon.
Yep. I found an RTX 3060 for well under 400 a month or two ago. Great cards but not over $400.

Audioave10Its still $320 or more for an RTX 3050 and that is a 128bit memory interface card. 128bit for over $320? I used to always judge a card by the memory
bus. It used to be useful to do that.
Still is.

64 bit = Better than Intel crap but still..crap
128bit = It's like a chihuahua in a room of German Shepherds that still thinks it can do things...
192bit = Look at me, I'm not entirely useless!
256bit = Let's do this thing!
384bit = I am not a marketing gimmick!
512bit = I am totally a marketing gimmick...
1024bit = Jabba the Hutt

Watch out everyone or the boogeyman "Ngreedia" will come for your money in your sleep lol.

Somehow despite the vocal minority, I don't think they'll have all that many issues continuing to move stock.

People need to get round the "if its not latest gen then its junk", and then the realisation is the best time to buy a GPU is at the end of its manufacturing lifecycle. I brought my 1080ti during the 1080ti fire sale and most certainly did not regret it especially when turing prices were apparent. Ampere doesnt become junk just because there is a newer gen.

Meanwhile in scumbag Australia, 3070 $830-930, 3070 Ti $1000-1150, 3080 $1200-1600, 3090 $2800-3300, 3090 Ti $3300-3700, AMD 6800XT $1000-1300, 6750XT $900-1000, 6950XT $1800-$2100.

A pox upon both their houses.

I'll wait till I can get one on ebay for $400 or less. I'm in no rush and I've been online game free for over 2 years now.

I'm still on the 2060 as I don't see myself getting a 3060 anytime soon with their pricing this horrendous.
