Have to admit that "Price" is insane.

I know ATM it's just a rumor and we have to remember at this point it's just that, nothing else but I can already say I woudn't buy one. Back when I bought the 2 cards I have now (Radeon VII) I simply coudn't justify spending at least if not more than double the price for a card that would only beat the cheaper ones I got by a few measily percentage points at most and that was with things I probrably woudn't have noticed the difference anyway.
Grabbed two for about the same or slightly cheaper than a 2080 in the end so I have one that's in use and the other as a back up.

So....
If the card and price is worth it to you and your useage, of course you can get one but if not I'd find something different like I did.

Just bear in mind the actual price of these isn't set just yet and also remember you still have the power of the wallet to cast your "Vote" if you don't like the pricing - I cast mine back when I bought the two cards I've got at least and TBH I don't see the need to replace these anytime soon.

As usual every release, this is a "sample pricing" leak, so Nvidia and manufacturers see how OK the pricing lies with the people.
If it is generally accepted, the cards will be released using this price.
If there is an outcry, the prices will be lowered a bit.

In current climate even $1000 is too much for GPU now if the rumoured $2000 is correct then just forget about it.

Yeah made me look at your avatar

I love threads like this, it's mentioned in the title all that its a RUMOR yet everyone looses their minds (I'm sure there's a meme for that one)... Why not just chill relax and wait for the cards to come out?? If it does cost $2000/£2000 for a card so be it, just don't buy it :) You don't have to do you?
You probably don't understand how forums work. :p
The whole fun is about rumors where everyone can be right or wrong. When 3090 comes out, there will be no fun. Opinions would be mostly based on real facts, meaning that most wil have the same or very similar opinions. There is no fun in that :laugh:

Does it really matter?

The 3090 will only make up about 3% of Nvidia's entire Ampere GPU sales in terms of units sold but considerably more in profit margin, and for those willing to spend $2k on a GPU, we have to accept the fact that $2k is nothing to them, chump change, beer money.

Nvidia simply want to fleece them for as much as possible.

Looking like it's Onnnn, damn

I’m confused as to how this continues to occur with every product launch? Do you all have no memory, or am I just the only one that pays attention enough to notice that every time a new product is close to launch, someone discovers an alleged price from a foreign retailer and attempts to convert to USD.
News flash: the price you see mentioned in this news post is listed in Chinese Yuan. Anyone care to guess what 2080 Ti cards sell for in China? If you guessed the price listed in this news post you’re the winner!
Genius, now I know this I'm sorted.
Soo just to check I have it.

When a new part is due people speculate and create rumours.

Is this a new thing, I like it.

I do love these sorts of threads, it's full of funny first world problems.

Do I buy myself a car or a halo graphics card? Damn you Nvidia!!!1

They probably have 10 cards to sell at launch and it will be out of stock in .000001 seconds. lol IF this is true.. haha I just hope I can afford a 3060 6-8gb card.. or my 2070 holds out until 4000 series cards. Trust me when I do upgrade it will have a life cycle of around 6 months.. lol That's what happened with my 2070 before the Supers came out... or what it felt like...

It's probably a good idea to react to a price rumor, otherwise Jensen will have no idea what to throw out at the live announcement? Gotta help the man out a little. Blizzard already had an awkward moment; we can't afford to have the now biggest tech giant CEO go on stage and announce a LOW LOW price of $3000 for the very best in gaming graphics.

It seems Nvidia is backing down on that $2k price, now they say $1399, still high though. If that is true then I almost got it right, I said $1299,

$1399 will match the Chinese pricing, the 2080Ti was12K~13K at launch in chinese market. shits like this should stop using direct conversion. the whole english tech news circle go crazy on the 14K pricing is driving me nuts

The mob need no excuse to go on a rampage, hopefully they get offended by real issues too.

Yeah made me look at your avatar

Also, I got into a super exciting convo with a mod who said my flipping the bird avatar wasn't acceptable.

How times change.

Well... I'll just consider a 3090 to be a TITAN equivalent, then.
Price:performance ratio blowout (in a bad way).

The funny thing is, if its true we will be prepared, but lets say its "only" 1680 dollars, then we should be relieved right? and Nvidia will looks like the goodguy again....

Its like a reverse thing fanboys did/do to AMD where they hype up upcomming products to rediculous levels just so when its released it can only be a dissapointment and they can crap all over it when objectively it can be a very good product.

2080Ti is under 1%, why would 3090 more than triple it?

Performance is going forward. Engineering and technology is being pushed to the max. Besides the price I really don't know what to complain about. Maybe you should apply to be Nvidia engineer and let us see what you come up with?
Or in other words: It's so expensive because they need to pay the engineers so those are able to afford a nvidia card. It's the new 'nvidia-personnel-only edition'. then.
