The 3080Ti released at $1119, at least according to the info I can find. They didn't stay that price for long, quickly jumped past what a 3090 MSRP'ed for and then some, reaching upwards of $1800 or more, nipping at the overpriced heels of the 3090s sitting past $2k.
Fast forward about 3 months and the 3080 12GB dropped, with the 3080Ti and 3090 upwards of $2k+ and the 3080 10GB pushing the $1k range, the 12GB model dropped in without a MSRP and started selling for about $1200 retail. Eventually a MSRP was listed for the 3080 12GB at $899....or 799 (I don't remember without looking). It was all just a big fustercluck.
Thankfully Nvidia (and it appears AMD is on board with Nvidia's methods) are working on making this current gen a fustercluck, too, when it comes to pricing and performance gains. I guess we wait to see what these mid-ranged cards can bring to the table with performance and pricing.
