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

[btarunr]

NVIDIA is working with its board partners to introduce price-cuts for the higher-end of its GeForce RTX 30-series "Ampere" graphics cards, in addition to game bundles. This would see the flagship GeForce RTX 3090 Ti drop in price from $1,999 to $1,499, a 25% price-cut. The RTX 3090 (non-Ti) sees its price cut from $1,499 down to $1,299, or a 13.3% cut. The RTX 3080 Ti slides from $1,199 down to $1,099, an 8.3% cut. The RTX 3080 12 GB will finally be available at or below its MSRP of $799, while remaining inventories of the original RTX 3080 10 GB sticks to $699.

In addition to these price-cuts, NVIDIA is bundling "Ghostwire Tokyo" and "DOOM Eternal" Year One Pass (base game + two DLCs), with these cards as part of a game bundle. NVIDIA is competing with not just a sudden drop in demand stemming from the crypto-currency mining crash; but also crypto miners flooding the market with used cards.

still seeing RTX3060s going for over $400 over here. Guess I won't be buying ANY of these old cards anytime soon.

Those original MSRPs were nothing less than price gouging. Even at the adjusted prices Ngreedia is not losing any sleep over profits.

 

[Audioave10]

Nvidia claims these are price cuts...they live on a golden mountain somewhere.

 

[Tomgang]

So now Ngreedia will be sure to get rid of all inventory of 3000 series cards, before launching 4000 series. They still to expensive, at this late in there life cycle. They shut be significantly under msrp.

A wise choice with all the mining cards flooding the used marked these days. With the economic situation around the world, gpu demand is properly also going to be lower than when 3000 launched. It's my guess at least.

I can just look at myself, I was considering RTX 4080, but now im not sure I would go for one. Do to increasingly unpredictable economic consequences of inflation, war and so on.

Where's my cheap 3070? Assholes...

 

[Rowanero]

Most people don't want or need 3090s, these are semi-professional cards. You don't need anything more than a 3080ti to play, and these are still super-expensive when we are so close to a generation leap. People need reasonable prices for the 3060 to 3080 range, anything else is speculating with the nonsensical orignal MSRP.

 

[TheLostSwede]

All of them are already on sale here for far less than that.

I was happy to see this news, even if this kind of news where expected, but still good to see official price cuts.

Then I see the price cuts and they are nothing more than cuts of the extra premium consumers had to pay all this time for the hi end parts. In other words, Nvidia is cutting from the extremely profitable products, some of it's profits.

Pity. Nothing to see here. I guess Nvidia believes that anything under $650 is well priced.

They know where to stick it.

Between the price hikes on GPUs and the end of HEDT my next build is just going to be a full out workstation with a Quadro in it. I got a PS5 at MSRP at the NEX (Navy Exchange for those not in the US) and I'll hook an ATMOS system up to the HDTV and that will be that!

 

[TheLostSwede]

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.

I stay to rtx cards as I need the gaming capability as well and I don't play on consoles anymore.

AMD literally made HEDT not needed for many people. With there 12 and 16 core CPUs for AM4. 5950X has the compute power most people need including me and going threadripper is significantly more expensive.

And yet Europe remains a neverending retailer scalping heaven...

 

[Tsukiyomi91]

"official" price cut, my ass. More like "oh we're only cutting our losses for the US market but leave the rest to their devices coz why the fuck not".

 

[Audioave10]

Its still $320 or more for an RTX 3050 and that is a 128bit memory interface card. 128bit for over $320? I used to always judge a card by the memory
bus. It used to be useful to do that.

They're starting at $270 for single fan cards here. Under $300 for two fan cards. Add a third fan and it's $340...

That is better pricing than at NewEgg right now.

The per fan upgrade cost is a bit steep though...

 

[DeathtoGnomes]

"official" price cut, my ass. More like "oh we're only cutting our losses for the US market but leave the rest to their devices coz why the fuck not".

more like reducing profits from 100% to 50%..

 

[sector-z]

Price are ridiculous again for be in remplaced soon. Price should be like this in ~

3090 TI 999$
3090 875$
3080 ti 699$
3080 12GB 599$
3080 10GB 499$
3070 ti 425$

Now we talking about correct price

 

[Baum]

still not enought.. RTX anything xx70< 350€ or go home ngreedia

 

[eidairaman1]

These aint price cuts, just more excuses to keep their prices inflated.

 

[Chomiq]

Price cuts, sure.

 

[AsRock]

yeah was hearing about these price cuts yesterday ( jayztwocents ), still not interested i just wish people could control them selves and not buy and let them stew on them for a while.

If only huh, then they will panic and drop even more.

 

[kapone32]

I remember when it took me 3 weeks to decide to spend $200+ on a GPU. I also remember when the most Expensive GPUs were $499 then $599 then $999. I guess Nvidia cannot escape the Inflation bubble. I will say though that those reduced prices are still a huge slap in the face.
