NVIDIA RTX 3090-series and RTX 3080-series in Free-fall: RTX 3090 Ti at $1,099; RTX 3080 Ti at $739

[btarunr]

Prices of high-end NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30-series "Ampere" graphics cards appear to be in free fall as the Summer demand is beginning to wear off, and the supply chain is under pressure to pave the way for the next-generation RTX 40-series. In the worst days of the crypto-mining craze causing graphics cards shortages, the RTX 3090 Ti could be sold for as high as $3,000. It's now down to $1,099 and in stock. The RTX 3080 Ti, which was credited by reviewers as being almost as good as the RTX 3090, can be had for $739. The RTX 3090 (non-Ti) itself is now firmly under the four-figure mark, going for $959. These brand-new cards face competition from two fronts—cypto-miners dumping used graphics cards at attractive prices that gamers are willing to buy; and from AMD's aggressively-priced RX 6000-series high-end, led by the RX 6950 XT at $900.

That`s start to be resendable price, at last...

 

[wolf]

Good, now my hope is that the price to performance and availability of the entire market is good when new gen lands, so neither can get away with insanity.

 

[ratirt]

Still should drop a bit more but the price is going in the right direction which is down.

 

[TheLostSwede]

Still more expensive than what they cards have been going for in Taiwan.
Dirt cheap compared to Sweden...

 

[Vayra86]

Soon

 

[ZoneDymo]

1000 dollars/euro's for a videocard is still just insane.
Let me know when the 3090ti is like 750 so I can buy a more reasonable card like a rx6800 for < 350.

 

[gffermari]

The new gpus are still expensive, matching or being slightly under the msrp.
The second hand though are very tempting.

(I MUST RESIST)

 

[Easo]

Sorry, but I have been hearing this repeatedly. Here in Latvia the "big drops" never arrived, the basic 3080 still costs ~1k EUR or more on average.

 

[Chomiq]

In US, maybe.

The MSI Gaming X Trio 3090 was $840 at Best Buy yesterday. That's a huge discount.

For what I can see at the moment, atleast here, second hand is not interesting at all, 500 - 600 for the rx6800.
Heck people are (trying to) selling gtx1080ti's for 350....

American ebay has gotten interesting. These are prices the GPUs have actually sold for rather than the asking prices:

I am highly suspicious of those "brand new" 3080 Tis for $499 and $566, though. There's no way those can be real.

Oof the ventus 3080ti 12g is still $1150usd on the mainland.

 

[TheDeeGee]

3080 Ti from the article is same price as a Strix RTX 3070 here in the Netherlands.

So much for free fall in EU, infact some cards went up in price again.

 

[ratirt]

Yeah it is still F.. up in Norway as well with the prices for the 3090ti at $1600. Less but still damn high.

 

[stimpy88]

So they are down to the original retail prices? But not in europe... Whoopty dooooo. I think another 8-12 weeks, and we can maybe start talking.

I will do the absolute minimum I can, to help nGreedia.

 

[PerfectWave]

where are those price? LOL

 

[Rowanero]

Yep, 3080/3090 real prices on the streets are 200-300€ over "what they should be" in Europe. Most people I play with still soldier on with their 1080s, and we won't make a move until prices are reasonable.

Only slightly mined on, with very little artifacting, as new!

Not just Europe. Seems like the only price drops are in USA

 

[Deleted member 185088]

In US, maybe.

Maybe giving us a look at more markets, such as Germany, UK, France in Europe, China, Japan, South Korea in Asia.

 

[Space Lynx]

If I could get a brand new 3090 ti for $999 I actually might do it. lol

part of me wants to keep waiting, but another part of me also knows that even before third party seller bot scammers were as big as they are now, we mostly had to wait 2-3 months after initial launches of new gpu's. I expect the same to happen with next gen gpu's but it will be much worse, as the whole business model of third party seller bot scammers has exploded as a business model.

it fucking sucks.

 

[Animalpak]

Some models are still holding the high price, i dont think the 4000 series will outperform by much the 3000 series. I think this is a good time to get a graphics card. And keep the money to improve the CPU, ryzen or intel If you are still with an i9 - i7 and Z370 - Z390 chipset.

RTX 3080 Ti at $739

In US living the dream yeah....

Reality
