Rumor: GeForce RTX 3090 Pricing to Arrive Around the $2,000 Mark

[Vya Domus]

If Nvidia bought up all the competiotion there won't be much choice.

I don't know, there's always a choice when it comes down to this sort of stuff. You can just say no, people buy these to play Warzone or Fortnite or whatever else is popular these days, you can live without a 2000$ video card. If you can't say no to that, we're doomed either way.

This just might be the time all the fanboys and strong advocates for nV be starting to fill my pockets with money and gifted newly released catds

GPUs used to come with a 2x molex -> 6pin PCIe connector. If the 12pin connector materializes, it's more likely new GPUs will just ship with a similar adapter, for 3x PCIe 8pins -> 12pin PCIe connector. New PSU on top of the already insane GPU prices? That can't go well.

See what theoneandonlymrk stated. If a new PSU is needed I can't see it going down well.

People think in a funny way, question is, will you think the same after a few generations of 20% more money ?

Yes. FYI nVidia’s been doing this for a few generations now. People still buy nVidia cards, so I guess they are ok with it.

There you go, you didn't believe me when I said that's how it works.

 

[Th3pwn3r]

I don't see these selling for $2000. I could see them price at $1500 for FE.

I agree with you 110%. If you make an income from a $2000 card that's all well and good. But for gaming alone, errr, nah.

This just might be the time all the fanboys and strong advocates for nV be starting to fill my pockets with money and gifted newly released cards. I mean , thAt price looks to be a triple inflated royalty over the added value above for actually manufacturing it plus profit. Yeeeeeii...!

LOL, I'm fully aware of how it works
FYI, I don't buy into hype of any kind. I took me till now to purchase an RTX card.

That's how you see it?

Can you imagine the number of 1080tis(actually , like the 8800 a legend card) that sold relative to the 2080Ti(meh for the money)?.

They can set whatever price they want yes but the market Will and Is reacting.

There's rumours of two other new discrete GPU maker's now and Intel are on the job as we speak.
More money=more performance/20% at that.
Market=Reacted.

 

[harm9963]

A FOOL AND HIS MONEY ARE SOON PARTED, paid $629 for a new 1080Ti, theirs noting left to gaped.

 

[Vayra86]

That will be a HUGE boon to the consoles. Insanity.

Yeah because you need the top end card to game, right?

Looking at the lower segments, 1080ti performance can soon be had for under 400 bucks, most likely. Above that you have 2080S for 500-ish. I'm not sure how that isn't progress, despite the fact top end cards keep increasing their lead and get a price hike to match. That was the case with 2080ti, it is the case now, and it has ALWAYS been the case for the halo product(s). What's new?

Besides, its an x90 so stop whining, you get a higher number for your money

Or... just don't buy it, you know. I must say the current stack leak that looks most credible, isn't exactly the most mouth watering to me. Even completely disregarding pricing.. and lots of info still missing.

They never wanted to sell many 2080ti's because they didn't have any. They had substantial delays, a bad batch and overall not the greatest of yields if you consider the humongous size of the die. You and I both know the thing wasn't readily available not because people bought them like hotcakes, but simply because there weren't any. Same story as Radeon VII really, or Vega early days. New tech, big chip, its always the same story.

This 3090 is very similar and the price tag also underlines Navi hasn't got anything on it, unless ppl believe AMD will price something along these lines... Not even remotely close, I think.

They (NV) now need a big die on a new node (!) and they'll likely feed on the failed Titan Ampere's (Titania? ) for it. That's not gonna be a huge stack of gpus, and on top of that, they'll need to source new top-end memory for it as well.

That's 'Meerkat's' in the UK mate, you know that

 

[dirtyferret]

This changes everything!!!...I'm getting two, one as a back up.

 

[Dux]

You know what? I could buy this card even if it did cost that much. I'm from EU so it will be €2000 or more here. But after paying that much, i would feel guilt and i wouldn't enjoy it.

Just get 8 for the rumoured upcoming Octa-SLI

 

[Vayra86]

Just get 8 for the rumoured upcoming Octa-SLI

That'd be a screamer lol

 

[Fluffmeister]

The price does tend to imply they aren't that worried about Big Navi.

Eek, the horror!

The low yield makes sense, as that would also explain the high RMA rate of 2080 Tis. Because they didn't have enough to sell, they were letting partially tested chips onto the market to lock consumers in and let customer service deal with it. These consumers were diehard fans -- they would go through multiple RMA's just to get a working one too.

 

[murr]

No thanks. I can do a lot more with 2 grand then get a couple more FPS.

Naturally, random people and Nvidia wil categorically deny this

 

[HD64G]

3080 will end up priced close to $1000 and the 3080Ti/3090 close to $1500 with a special version having double the VRAM and maybe a BIOS unlocked for OC for $2000. My 5c.

 

[dirtyferret]

That'd be a screamer lol

We would need to get 8x Nvidia 12pin PCI-e power cables, Jensen Huang would have an orgasm

I went with same tier , it's clear the only GPU they had that could be called a 2080ti was too big to make many of before they made it.
They're goal was to retain top spot only, but it's not mine/ our fault Nvidia couldn't make an 80 series card that was good enough to sell and actually possible to manufacture in numbers.

They set the naming scheme,the design and node.

And though I understand and mostly agree with your points it's certainly not true to say they don't want to sell many.

In an ideal situation and world they would have been very happy to sell four times the amount of 2080ti's.

I was thinking more along the lines of your own nuclear power plant
