Danish Retailer Proshop.dk Lists GeForce RTX 4080 Graphics Cards
Danish online retailer Proshop.dk jumped the gun with listing its stock of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 "Ada" graphics cards. These include custom-design cards from ASUS, MSI, GIGABYTE, and Inno3D. While pictures of GIGABYTE and Inno3D cards weren't up, the site put out pictures of ASUS ROG Strix, TUF Gaming; and MSI Gaming X and Ventus 3X models. Prices range between 12,190 Danish Krone (US $1,626) to 14,590 Krone ($1,946), including taxes. The pictures give us our first look at MSI's new cost-effective Ventus 3X custom-design, which will be positioned close to NVIDIA's baseline MSRP (of $1,199 for the RTX 4080). The ASUS ROG Strix, TUF Gaming, and MSI Gaming X designs appear identical their RTX 4090 siblings. These listings appear at least 16 days ahead of when these cards are expected to be available from.

Anyway, on a related note, those prices are just utterly insane. I know, I know it's a tired and old response by now, we all know why bla-bla. But still, it's crazy. 10 years ago, the absolute high-end consumer graphics card from NVIDIA was the GeForce GTX 680*, which had an MRSP of 500$ (646$ today). 600 bucks for the highest end GPU money could buy, the absolute cutting edge. I do not for a second believe that prices for GPU's need to be this high today. It's corporate greed, and years of manipulating consumers with slowly increasing pricing tiers to ever push the price-range higher and higher.
10 years ago you could have made a kick-ass super high-end pc with the price of one of these new gpu's.
* Well there was a GPU more expensive than the 680 which was the 690. That was a single board dual-GPU though, which I think is not a proper comparison in this situation.
Jensen you can keep your expensive fire hazard toys and thanks for doing a fine job on ruining DIY PC building market.
This has been noted by many here in Denmark, and even made the news at one point. Many enthusiasts will not shop with them anymore. They are still marking up prices of cards, and also delayed passing on nGreedias lower prices while other EU outlets were passing them on.
Let's see what AMD next gen prices are, but for sure second hand market for me also.
Nvidia Fuck You! (Linus Torvalds)
you're blaming the wrong people.
Funny how no one came up with the idea to compare with 4090 prices in the same store..
Cheapest 4080: 12190 kroner
Cheapest 4090: 15190 kroner (roughly the lowest price in DK)
The 4090 is 24.6 % more, which I think is close to the leaked/speculated price difference from earlier. (1200 & 1600 <some currency> IIRC)
Don't use the price announced by Nvidia because it is not true
Nvidia is simply just lying
My price above in Denmark including 25 % tax is actually lower than the lowest in USD (no tax).
Without the tax it's 1616 USD. :eek:
Oh wait "chip shortage" is still here nV put the brake pedal on TSMC.
So, I guess, demand is not that high.
PS
Crazy that there are still no PS5 in stock at MSRP 2 years after release... Oo
So 1600 + VAT => 1900.
400+ of price markup "unexplained"
in europe the prices had to rose because now it's 1:1 when before then were like 1:3 or whatever they were, idk exact number
