NVIDIA Might Be Issuing A Price Cut On Its High-End GeForce RTX 30 Graphics Card Including RTX 3090 Ti, 3090, 3080 Ti & 3080
Over the last couple of days, we have seen a massive price drop on graphics cards. These not just include NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards but also the AMD Radeon lineup too. The huge price drop comes as a reaction to the crypto crash which has resulted in a huge amount of used GPUs flooding the market and also the fact that the next-gen graphics cards from both manufacturers are going to launch in the coming months and AMD & NVIDIA don’t want to sit on stockpiles of current-gen inventory which won’t easily sell once the new generation of cards enters the market. That is unless NVIDIA and AMD can get rid of the majority of this inventory right now by offering price cuts and promotions such as game bundles, etc. NVIDIA, to make room for their high-end GeForce RTX 40 series graphics card lineup, is reportedly planning on cutting the prices of various high-end GeForce RTX 30 series graphics cards. The new prices are expected to be lower than the original MSRPs which these cards never sold at in their 2 years lifespan since launch and only happen to be selling now when the new generation is on the verge of launching. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Graphics Card New MSRPs ‘Rumored’ (Credits: Benchlife): Starting with the new prices, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti will be sold at $1499.99 US (MSRP - $1999.99 US), RTX 3090 will be sold at $1299.99 US (MSRP - $1499.99 US), RTX 3080 Ti will be sold at $1099 US (MSRP - $1199.99 US), the RTX 3080 12 GB which never got an MSRP will be sold at $799.99 US while the RTX 3080 10 GB will be sold at its MSRP of $699.99 US.

As we saw with the GeForce RTX 30 series graphics cards, NVIDIA had a tough time dealing with scalpers and the same could very well happen at the start of the RTX 40 series launch. Whether NVIDIA and its retail partners have proper precautions in place to deal with scalpers this time remains to be seen. All major US retailers such as BestBuy and Newegg have currently listed the high-end GeForce RTX 30 series graphics cards at the new NVIDIA MSRPs as you can see below: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series Graphics Card Prices at Newegg: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series Graphics Card Prices at BestBuy: In fact, the only place where the new prices aren’t mentioned is NVIDIA’s own Store but it makes sense since NVIDIA hasn’t officially announced the price cuts by themselves and will reportedly do so this week.
