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.

Going by Jayz2C latest Nvidia vid, I don't think I'm gonna bother waiting for the 4000 series, because it sounds like Jensen's going back to greedsville and raising the prices for them, coupled with the higher wattage req just feels like a massive put-off for me personally.

Prob gonna wait a little longer and just grab a 3080, even though I'd love a 3080 12gb model, the manufacturing for them has stopped and it'll become super rare to grab one, as much as I'd like one (since my 1080ti is 11gb and 1gb shy of the 3080 12b variant).

I can also see the scalping issue happening with the 4000 series, so that just makes for another put-off. I think those waiting for the next series should either buy a higher model 3000 series when they are even cheaper, or just wait for AMD, because the 4000 series is sounding more and more like a bit of a long joke at this rate. 

I mean what else can that series bring to the table that the 3000 series already has and what would even be made exclusive to the 4000 series, that'd make them worth getting?. We already have DLSS, that's being improved upon and I'm sure the 3000 series would still gain access to said improvements, and it's not like that series will end up like the 1000 series, where they didn't get DLSS support and some other features. 4000 series just sounds like the 3000 series, but slightly better, but at the cost of a higher rice, higher wattage and scalpers. 



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
