JEMC said: Nvidia allegedly lowering the prices of thir more expensive cards that are already selling for much less than the actual MSRP is ridiculous. The 3060Ti had an official price launch of 419 € yet, even now, the two stores that appear as partners at the Spanish Nvidia site have it for 500 € and 530 €. But yeah, sure, lower the price of the more expensive ones that no one will buy because they already have one or are not stupid enough to buy one now when the 4000 series is around the corner. FFS! |
Yeah the situation is little frustrating, for sure. But prices will tumble for sure. In the UK AiB cards can be found at retailers slightly above to MSRP and on marketplaces like Ebay, MSRP or lower. Some cards like the RTX 3090 are selling for around £900 or so preowned on Ebay. Which is quite insane considering its launch price. Bearing in mind though that its only marginally faster than a 3080.
But yeah I doubt many people are biting for these cards when the next generation GPU's are coming within a couple of months or so. Especially at the higher end. Mid/low range buyers will still have to wait up to another year for the 4060 and below cards. And there will be an influx of people wanting to upgrade to 4000 series cards when they release on top of retailers wanting to get rid of old stock.
