Danish Retailer Proshop.dk Lists GeForce RTX 4080 Graphics Cards

[btarunr]

Danish online retailer Proshop.dk jumped the gun with listing its stock of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 "Ada" graphics cards. These include custom-design cards from ASUS, MSI, GIGABYTE, and Inno3D. While pictures of GIGABYTE and Inno3D cards weren't up, the site put out pictures of ASUS ROG Strix, TUF Gaming; and MSI Gaming X and Ventus 3X models. Prices range between 12,190 Danish Krone (US $1,626) to 14,590 Krone ($1,946), including taxes. The pictures give us our first look at MSI's new cost-effective Ventus 3X custom-design, which will be positioned close to NVIDIA's baseline MSRP (of $1,199 for the RTX 4080). The ASUS ROG Strix, TUF Gaming, and MSI Gaming X designs appear identical their RTX 4090 siblings. These listings appear at least 16 days ahead of when these cards are expected to be available from.

Just want to very quickly add that Denmark has a 25% VAT on all goods. The price in the parenthesis is without VAT.

Anyway, on a related note, those prices are just utterly insane. I know, I know it's a tired and old response by now, we all know why bla-bla. But still, it's crazy. 10 years ago, the absolute high-end consumer graphics card from NVIDIA was the GeForce GTX 680*, which had an MRSP of 500$ (646$ today). 600 bucks for the highest end GPU money could buy, the absolute cutting edge. I do not for a second believe that prices for GPU's need to be this high today. It's corporate greed, and years of manipulating consumers with slowly increasing pricing tiers to ever push the price-range higher and higher.
10 years ago you could have made a kick-ass super high-end pc with the price of one of these new gpu's.


* Well there was a GPU more expensive than the 680 which was the 690. That was a single board dual-GPU though, which I think is not a proper comparison in this situation.

I wonder if these GPU's come with the 12VHPWR?

 

[RedelZaVedno]

US $1,626 for entry level 4080 model??? That's it, I'm out of the game. Getting 2nd hand GPU and call it a day.
Jensen you can keep your expensive fire hazard toys and thanks for doing a fine job on ruining DIY PC building market.

This company is scum. They helped scalpers and the bots do whatever they wanted. I tried for a year to get hold of a 3080 from them, and their own staff were buying the cards, as published on DBA, as well is letting their friends buy cards (insider info) that were listed on ebay, all while pretending to give first choice to customers that signed up with an email address, just to have the cards sold out without ever reaching the actual web site (they did a sale countdown every day at 14:00, you had to receive an email inviting you to the page, and the buy button would never be enabled. This went on for two years! They even posted a story on their front page telling everyone that they were being honest, and that bots were buying the cards, and that they had a security expert fix the problem... It made no difference for nearly years this continued.

This has been noted by many here in Denmark, and even made the news at one point. Many enthusiasts will not shop with them anymore. They are still marking up prices of cards, and also delayed passing on nGreedias lower prices while other EU outlets were passing them on.

Very bad price. This is a 4080 and it costs more than 3090 when released. It's a joke.

Sad to hear it, you would really want a company like that to just go out of business, same as Newegg but alas

RTX4000 prices are ridiculous, even Ampere is still expensive basically launch prices, I really hope nVidia suffers this generation.

It's not a idiot who asks for high price, it's the one that pays.
Let's see what AMD next gen prices are, but for sure second hand market for me also.

Lego ad is on point

i'm sorry for insisting on this but people will queue to buy this as they did for the 4090, so why should Nvidia lower prices? Are they stupid? Do they hate money? Huang wants to get fired?

you're blaming the wrong people.

 

[bonehead123]

Just ANUTHA case of "Stupid is as Stupid does", and "a fool & their money..." hehehe

 

[SL2]

TILBUD! [/s]

Funny how no one came up with the idea to compare with 4090 prices in the same store..

Cheapest 4080: 12190 kroner
Cheapest 4090: 15190 kroner (roughly the lowest price in DK)

The 4090 is 24.6 % more, which I think is close to the leaked/speculated price difference from earlier. (1200 & 1600 <some currency> IIRC)

 

[Telstar]

disgusting ripoff

 

[Xaled]

Please TPU don't fall this time to Nvidia's fake MSRP trap. The RTX 4090's price hasn't fell below 2100$

Don't use the price announced by Nvidia because it is not true

I think i got it now, maybe the $1600 announced was the price nVidia is selling from factory the 4090 FE for 1000 pieces. It was not the store price + VAT.

No, it is definitely not like that

Nvidia is simply just lying

That's insane, I just checked pcpartpicker.

My price above in Denmark including 25 % tax is actually lower than the lowest in USD (no tax).

Without the tax it's 1616 USD.

I know what MSRP is, but looks to me that all are still acting as the "chip shortage" is still here. Of course nV is a big fat liar.
Oh wait "chip shortage" is still here nV put the brake pedal on TSMC.

I see your point, but at least in DE, plenty of 4090 in stock, at 2.3-2.4 Euro piece (includes 19% VAT). From nearly day one.

So, I guess, demand is not that high.

PS
Crazy that there are still no PS5 in stock at MSRP 2 years after release... Oo

euro tanked vs the usd, that's a different issue

They are 1:1 at the moment.

So 1600 + VAT => 1900.

400+ of price markup "unexplained"

 

[Easo]

I have no words. Clearly, I will either buy a gen prior or a used one...

no. the difference is what explains the difference

in europe the prices had to rose because now it's 1:1 when before then were like 1:3 or whatever they were, idk exact number

Of course they does
