NVIDIA to Introduce Official High-End RTX 30-series Price Cuts

I really wonder if Nvidia will announce new SRPs, what's the point, it will just be a futile message to AMD to also start prioritizing from now on discounts for the above $700 models, doesn't Jensen have Liza's phone number lol?
3080Ti's $1099 SRP will only be $100 less but it's understandable (certainly they don't want to give the message to the consumer that even Nvidia themselves think that 3080Ti must be lower priced than RX6950XT SRP by setting a $999 SRP for example and also 3080Ti is so close to 3090 as far as usable GA102 die that they don't want to prioritize 3080Ti's production because they can make more money with 3090 while being more bulletproof vs 4080 due to memory advantage)
So next is 3090Ti model (which is the most troublesome) that from now on allegedly will occupy the former 3090 price $1499 and last RTX 3090 in the middle ($1299).
But they can just drop the prices without announcing any new SRPs following the strategy that AMD had the last months.
Since AMD already the last months is selling much lower than SRP most of it's models, (unless it wants to change strategy if their stock level is low or at least satisfying) they can respond with lowering their SRPs at the current AMD street price level, making Nvidia's announcement a complete failure!
It probably won't happen, but it may be an opportunity for AMD to try to pass the message that they are more consumer-friendly company in relation to Nvidia (without essentially lowering their real street prices at all)

Basically they're cutting the price of the cards they are not going to sell because of the upcoming next gen.

These morons actually think these cuts are going to spur a quarter saving buying spree.

I predict this does nothing more than prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Huang has been gaming alllll the ngreedia fanboys with his weakass mining cards and asic bs. I need my fanboys! Come bail me out my good ol' buddies and pals!

so the hardcore miners, with whom, obviously nvidia has contract/talks with, are returning their heavily used products to get repacked cleaned and sold off as new again, for a little discount ? wow what a bargain for a card running 24/7, nearly 2 years max throttle! i bet nvidia made a killing ! and before they are compl. worthless cause of the new 4x release, they simply put the release date of the 4x series somewere into the futeure. i have a guess, they will be released soon as the old, used cards are all sold of. maybe nvidia is buying and manipulating the crypto market for their interes as well ? if so, a dream has come true for this gpu developer. they can print money for a long time.

The 3070 Ti costs the same as the 3070 cards here, both of which are still going for around $540.
3080's start at around $670, for 10 and 12 GB cards.
3080 Ti's start at 770.
3090's are about $970.
Lucky for you, Strix 3070 still costs $800 here.

Those original MSRPs were nothing less than price gouging.
Well yes, but the original original MSRPs (and ridiculous VRAM configs) on the 3000 lineup resulted from fierce competition from that red company.

By the way, you might have missed, but Euro went from $1.09 to $0.99

I did not, but to be honest nothing has changed here yet, prices have been scalped by e-tailers for a really long time and the price reductions are laughably slow vs. USA. Inventory was never an issue here and you could always buy a card, provided you paid 200% above MSRP which was being charged by the shops themselves.

It seems like this Euro/Dollar situation might make it even worse for us in the EU, especially after the next restocking.

even if Euro goes to $1.59 I'd still wait for the 4080. besides The faster it goes up, the faster it falls. so this little adventure may go down in flames.

It was 1.06 two weeks ago and 1.08 a month, so this is irrelevant to the pricing of current gpu stocks. You can however remember the higher VATs that are included in the sticker price, though even if you subtract these, USA pricing is generally a bit better.

They are still overpriced, the 3080ti should be price the same as the 3080, the 3080 at 3070...etc.
Turing was stupidly overprices, unfortunately people had amnesia (worse even the so called reviewers) completely missed this.

On one side, newer processes being more expensive, inflation etc drives prices up objectively.

On the other, NV even leaked slides in which they were boasting that people "stick to a model number".
I.e. 970 users bought 1070, even though price went up quite a bit.

Which leads to an obvious marketing strategy.

I have zero desire for those games. Doom Eternal was a flop imo. They needed a real mp mode. Not that whack ass esport pipe dream shit they tried.

Wasn't Nvidia and their partners like EVGA and MSI and such caught repackaging their GPUs from miners and selling them as brand new? I'd be reluctant to buy anything at any price as "new" in this market.

Where's my cheap 3070? Assholes...
They have tried to download now only the ones that are not coming out, because from the RTX 3070 onwards, they all have "great" prices (comparing to what they were before)

Even the 3070ti are doing relatively well in promotions.
For this reason they are not looking for more ways to lower the price of these Entry and Median cards.

I haven't heard that. I'm sure evga is selling some as b stock but not brand new.

Hahaha They would believe that. 6-7 years ago that may have been true. I haven't stuck to the "buy the top ti card" schtick for years. Now that we know gamers mean nada to leather jacket boy and co. and AMD is breathing down their necks. I doubt very highly they will ever manage to get back the respect they once had. We can only hope FSR progresses and 7900xt is as badass as has been projected. So ngreedia gets hit where the shareholders will actually bitch!
After all of the crooked shit they've pulled I'm done with ngreedia. For the first time since the 1800xtx Ill be buying an AMD card ;) Just waiting to see how low the limbo bar falls hehe.

To some extent I agree, my issue is with performance, Turing was pathetic yet overpriced, which led to bad price to performance.To justify its price the 3080 should've been around the 3090 in performance.
I think we have been let down by any reviewer who said Ampere are a good jump in performance, they should've done their job and see beyond marketing, but lots of them are either fanboys or afraid to speak up against nVidia/Intel or AMD.

While you're at it Jensen how about you look at USD:EUR conversion rate and apply it to EU prices.
