And people were like “not a deal” (which I do understand!).

I’m just curious how many people with the benefit of hindsight would have bought one but didn’t back then?

I’ll put up my hand!

  When were they $999?

  Edit: It's been close to $1K

    I can’t find the link I remember but here’s one for $1039:

    I think the one I’m remembered was unpublished for low stock levels now that I’m thinking about it more. It was one of the “cheaper” brands like zotac or something.

  Yes I remember seeing one MSi gaming 2080Ti open box on shopping express for either $975 or $1075 with a bunch of other included goodies. Case + SATA SSD and something else.

  I thought I'd just wait for a 3080 because it was newer and had better ray tracing. The following day I had changed my mind but it had sold. :(
  I've hated myself ever since.

  They were $550 2nd hand for a couple of weeks. $999 was not a good deal then, and its not a good deal now.

  If the 30xx were not so artificially restricted, there would be no question.

    I sold my old rtx 2070 oc (non super) for $500 on gumtree in 60 mins this week. Could have sold it 20 times over.
