NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Drops Below the $1000-mark
NVIDIA's high-end GeForce RTX 4080 has, for the very first time, dropped below the $1,000-mark in pricing. A Newegg retailer-level promotion sees the MSI RTX 4080 Ventus 3X OC graphics card listed at $1,099, with a coupon shaving off a further $100. This is a 16.5% discount over the $1,199 NVIDIA baseline MSRP for the RTX 4080. The MSI Ventus 3X OC was originally launched at a $60 premium over the MSRP.
The GeForce RTX 4080 is seeing a much needed downward trend in street pricing, with the graphics card market as a whole experiencing a slump. The RTX 4080 in particular could be experiencing pressure from the Radeon RX 7900 XTX for NVIDIA and retailers to consider price-cuts, with the lowest street-price for the AMD flagship recorded at $881. It's probably hoped that a $999 price could attract some buyers away from the RX 7900 XTX. The GeForce RTX 4080 is an enthusiast-class graphics card designed for maxed-out gaming at 4K Ultra HD, with ray tracing enabled, and loaded with features such as DLSS 3 and dual-stream encoders and decoders.

Still not going to get one tho
nvidia priced it out of proportion.... 4080 should have been 799 $100 increase from 3080.. even then its a big jump but $1200 is just too much
While the difference between RTX 4080 and RTX 4090 is huge now, I doubt Nvidia is getting ready an RTX 4080 Ti.
Now that production has ramped up, and partner brands have their production and supply chains working, then the equation of much more supply requires a rebalance of demand v supply. It was to be expected that prices would cool off.
It is also a very difficult equation to balance given shifts in mining and AI purchasing behaviours. I think the new specialist AI H-labelled cards will help to manage that going forward.

I'm in the market for a 4080 only when the prices hurt nV and don't hurt me. That's the $500 mark, ie, not happening, lol.
It doesn't matter for us in EU anyway, it's one card model at one US vendor with specific, time limited discount. Cheapest RTX 4080 here is still 1160 EUR (1260 USD), cheapest MSI RTX 4080 Ventus 3X is 1310 EUR (1420 USD), a hefty 42% more than a Newegg price.
Imagine the 4070Ti being 500 dollars, the 4070 being 400 and the 16gb 4060ti being 330 or so, that would be better.
Still a tad too high imo all in all, but better.
4080 for a $700 would be a steal.
It will drop to $700 in 550 days or so. but by that time it will be named 5070 16GB and carry a 128 bit bus 200mm2 die much like the 4060 Ti 16.
Oh and something to note: it's pretty obvious that Nvidia is desperately trying to condition consumers to covid-era pricing. They haven't enjoyed profit margins anywhere near that high in years, and you can be damn sure they're frothing at the mouth to keep it going. Don't let them; don't buy these cards. Let Nvidia rot and watch them squirm lol
