NVIDIA RTX 3090-series and RTX 3080-series in Free-fall: RTX 3090 Ti at $1,099; RTX 3080 Ti at $739
Prices of high-end NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30-series "Ampere" graphics cards appear to be in free fall as the Summer demand is beginning to wear off, and the supply chain is under pressure to pave the way for the next-generation RTX 40-series. In the worst days of the crypto-mining craze causing graphics cards shortages, the RTX 3090 Ti could be sold for as high as $3,000. It's now down to $1,099 and in stock. The RTX 3080 Ti, which was credited by reviewers as being almost as good as the RTX 3090, can be had for $739. The RTX 3090 (non-Ti) itself is now firmly under the four-figure mark, going for $959. These brand-new cards face competition from two fronts—cypto-miners dumping used graphics cards at attractive prices that gamers are willing to buy; and from AMD's aggressively-priced RX 6000-series high-end, led by the RX 6950 XT at $900.

Dirt cheap compared to Sweden...
Let me know when the 3090ti is like 750 so I can buy a more reasonable card like a rx6800 for < 350.
The second hand though are very tempting.
(I MUST RESIST)
Heck people are (trying to) selling gtx1080ti's for 350....
I am highly suspicious of those "brand new" 3080 Tis for $499 and $566, though. There's no way those can be real.
So much for free fall in EU, infact some cards went up in price again.
I will do the absolute minimum I can, to help nGreedia.
part of me wants to keep waiting, but another part of me also knows that even before third party seller bot scammers were as big as they are now, we mostly had to wait 2-3 months after initial launches of new gpu's. I expect the same to happen with next gen gpu's but it will be much worse, as the whole business model of third party seller bot scammers has exploded as a business model.
it fucking sucks.
Reality
Europe:
Still, this doesn't mean Ada will not see another bump in pricing.
