EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti Prices Momentarily Slashed by Half, to $1149

[ppn]

If rumors are true and or NVIDIA follows the same trend year after year. This 3090 Ti will match the RTX 4070 (Ti). That card will probably be $699 with 8GB...

4070 Ti is guestimated at $649 with 8 GB less, 16GB total. If it follows anything like the latency of 1070 Ti. 4070 Ti can be expected 9-19 months following the 4070. But right now, in two short months 4080/16 GB at 799 makes 3090 Ti look a much worse bang for buck and 30% slower.

Brave new world of capitalism... 2 years of pocketing record breaking profits for shareholders and now firing 20% (ASUS) of it's workforce with EVGA (-15%), Corsair (-5%) being hardly any better, complaining that they're sitting on a record quantities of borderline unsellable GPUs, routers, PSUs and office cameras. Did they really think Covid and crytocraze will last forever? How about lowering profits, swallowing losses and keeping your workforce intact, you greedy bastards? All I can say, don't buy it, let AIBs go broke. That's the only way to teach them a lesson.

this doesn’t make sense to me. If you saturate market with cheap 3080/3090s, how can you expect that customers will buy the new gen of graphic cards next month?

Or a better question is if customers would buy the new gen graphic cards next month why would you expect to move your existing product at those prices?
Like I said in another thread, they would need to put already existing cards in such low prices as to lure people in buying them, even then it's kind of a gamble.
If people bite and buy those cards at very low prices, they won't buy the next gen cards.
If the already existing cards are priced badly, no one will buy then but rather wait for the next gen cards next month, and you will be sitting on a pile of cards.
And the more and more time passes, they (old gen cards) will be harder and harder to sell, so if they want to sell them, they better sell them cheap and fast.

If a 3080 is supposed to be $699, The 3090Ti really can't justify even these lower prices; $1149 it's still 65% more expensive and the 3090Ti is 10-20% faster.

More importantly, if it doesn't run well on a 3080, the 3090Ti isn't going to change that in a meaningful way. You just spent an extra $450 to still fail.

That actually seems like a reasonable price for a top end card. But still not a reasonable price for a top end card that's been in the market for a while already and about to be phased out...

Yah, 2 years ago this would have been good price for the top end Ti card.

I see what you mean, 60 Fps is not cutting it anymore. 37/47 in cyberpunk. 60/72 in elden ring. 53/67 in dying light 2. Very underwhelming performance.

I would say 3080 10GB = 4060 Ti 10GB and this renders 3090 Ti +$799 more expensive for 23,45679% faster at 4K and 2.4x frame buffer, well 4060 Ti 160 bit may get severely bottlenecked at 4K. That remains to be seen.

So it's been revised down to an outrageous price from an incomprehensible price. What a bargain.

let me ask a simple question.. is 4K gaming at 100 fps or over really worth the hassle and expense to get it.. ??

I know the EVGA 3090 had memory issues because of lack of cooling on the back. No idea about the EVGA 3090 Ti though

Yep, 3090 chip has enabled memory pooling. Two cards together and there is double raytracing power and 48 GB pooled Vram. Good for many professional tasks, video editing/rendering etc. for only about 2000$.

Still wayyyyy overpriced.

The Eldin Ring problems brought attention to a small defect to a batch or two of the cards. Problem fixed since then. Those returns/open boxes cards are likely those that were repairable.

That wasn't the TI's, and wasn't it Amazons new game or something, not Elden Ring?

It was Amazon's New World beta which caused a bunch of EVGA Ampere cards to die.
The fix was to cap the framerate in the menus, but the real question is why did the problem only affect EVGA hardware?

No idea on that part but my point was it wasn't the Tis, which came later.

I'm not arguing EVGA has never made a mistake (hardly, they seem to be on a roll some days), just that I am unaware of any known flaws with this particular series.

Also New World caused more than just Ampere EVGA's to die. IIRC, it was pretty much any VRM that was built asymmetrically.

If one does not sacrifice his or his families needs for his wants , why the hell not.
Luxuries are one thing not necessary, needs are essential to life.
But play and structure helps to keep us Sane.
