I'm in the same boat. Not a big enough performance jump from the 3080 to justify this price unless it's sub $1k
Do you say this every 3080+ card post? haha
They repeat the same thing for 4080, 5080, 6080 later on on every future posts. they're the under $1k trolls.
But you're the gpu's should cost over 1k troll
Honestly who thinks $1000 for a video game component is reasonable. Unless they were dropped at birth. People are stupid for paying that much to begin with and creating the current situation of 1k gpu's.
There's more mainstreamers buying them thesedays that don't understand technology. That's why the FX 5800 ultra wasn't 1k. There's a lot of mainstreamers asking online advice and the problem is the enthusiasts always over recommend the hardware.
Go on whirlpool forums with the constant $1100 6700xt recommendations over 2021. The threadstarters typical response was "ummm do I really need the 6700xt I just want to play fortnite and LoL". Then the members giving the advice would say "yes you need the $1100 6700xt".
Idiot trusts enthusiast and bam demand for 1k gpu's are born.
@Jimmy77: No mate, you need a 4K 144Hz HDR to enjoy a game. Oh wait 144 aint sufficient, you will miss a shot if the refresh rate is not high!
Jokes aside, I still feel its the miners who causes this shitty situation. 6700XT would never have gone above 1K if not for mining. Gamers were frustruated because many were from 9xx and 10xx series who skipped 20XX because it was shit and really were left with old cards and they poured in whatever they had to get a GPU.
@Jimmy77: you sound a lot like sour grape who bought 3080 non-LHR for over $2k last year. LoL.
I was the one who actually sold them for profit last year.
@Jimmy77: Pardon my ignorance, I just have a GTX 750 Ti. Do people pay this ridiculous money to get ray tracing, 4K and 144Hz for the latest games? $1400 is about double what my PC cost to build.
2080Ti never dropped under 1K so I doubt 3080Ti will. But let's hope 3080 drops below 1k as 2080S did!! I'm still using 2080 Super that I bought for $950 years ago.
yeah it did, just as they released the 30 x card, it had a massive drop
I thought it got close to 1k but never below?
@waggat: it would have , rrp on 3080 was just over 1k wasnt it….
you could def pick them up on gumtree for $700-800
That was because of mining. This card will once 4080 is out.
mining is over, yet the price still high. you need someone/something else to blame, maybe putin or something lol.
@[Deactivated]: Not sure why you say that. Prices are coming down. Its almost 40% down. If 6600XT for 349 or 1099 for 12GB 3080 or 999 for 6900XT prices drops are not good enough, then I dont know what is? I was answering why 2080Ti price did not fall, that was because of mining. Not putin or something else back then.
@John Doh: those with sub $1k budget should aim for 70 or 70 Ti series, not the 80s.
it sounds like someone with $20k budget trying to buy tesla cars and keep whinging lol.
@[Deactivated]: That is definitely true, but 3xxx is end of cycle product. I wouldnt expect them to go sub 1K before 4xxx is here. But they eventually will. There is no point of pricing this product so high when 12GB 3080 is almost the same. So am expecting them to go sub 1K in a few months. 1K is a lot of money!
@John Doh: 40xx is coming next year most likely. unless Taiwan got invaded this year, then you won't see 40xx series for some years.
@[Deactivated]: The price is still high because all of these retailers bought the GPUs from NVIDIA/AIB's for massively inflated prices. If Mwave bought a 3080 Ti from ASUS for $1500, what incentive do they have to immediately drop it to under $1000 just because mining is over?
No, what happens is that because mining is over, demand drops for these cards. We don't see an immediate price drop because all of these retailers already paid mining-era prices for these cards and want to at least break even on them. Then, over time, as all of these retailers realise that none of us want to pay $1500 for an RTX 3080, and they start to get concerned they'll be stuck with hundreds of GPUs they can't sell because the new series is coming out shortly, they gradually reduce the price every week or two, until they hit a price people are willing to pay.
Why would Mwave just drop the price from $1500+ to under $999, if they could slowly decrease it until they find a price people are willing to pay?
Eventually, Mwave and other retailers will have to get more aggressive in their price drops to clear inventory they have left over now that there are no miners left buying them up in their hundreds as the launch date of the 4000 series comes around. I expect we should start seeing increasingly more aggressive price drops in the next month, as lots of retailers have said they have literally thousands of cards sitting in warehouses they can't clear at the moment.
@joshau: what incentive do they have to immediately drop it to under $1000 just because mining is over?
because jimmy and his brigade keeps whinging? lol.
they need to understand the point of reseller is making money, not too appease kids with their sub $1k budget determined by their dads.
so for all the kids here, tell your dads to increase his budget, or you can work at maccas to save some pocket money. or just aim for 3070s or 3060s, they sub $1k now.
@[Deactivated]: Yes, but the reseller won't make any money at all if 4000 series launches and they still have thousands of RTX 3080 Ti's sitting in their warehouse with a big $1477 price sticker on them. The incentive for resellers to drop prices is to ensure they aren't left with unsellable stock when the 4000 series launches.
If the 4080 launches at $1200, and is even close to 2x faster than the 3080/Ti, then the value of a 3080 Ti falls massively. They will certainly be under $1000, and resellers have the incentive to clear their stock before the 4080 launches, not after.
@joshau: bare minimum price base model, before 40xx comes out.
3080 10GB ~$1049
3080 12GB ~$1149 - $1199, maybe $1099??
3080 Ti ~$1299-$1399upper range like Tuf can add $50-$100 on top.
nvidia might announce 4070 and 4080 first as usual.
@[Deactivated]: No, nVidia announcing 4090 first so they can clear the 3xxx inventory while milking on higher 4090 price. If they release 4080 first no one will buy 3090. One 4090 is released, 3090 will dip causing 3080/Ti to dip.
@John Doh: 3080s inventory is a lot more than 3090s.
3080 was announced first 2 years ago, followed by 3090 and 3070.
@[Deactivated]: Proves there is enough inventory - https://appuals.com/nvidia-to-decrease-official-msrps-for-rt…
@John Doh: that's old news, and in US$. you need to ask for exchange rare parity lol to get that price in A$.
@[Deactivated]: That article is old, but the cuts started this week. Even before the cuts, our GPU prices were lesser than US prices when converted to AUD, its only gonne slide down further after the cuts.
@[Deactivated]: They will have to drop it as the inventory is huge and the demand is low. They cannot keep postponing 4xxx just like that. AMD inventory is not that massive as they had to share the wafers among PS, XBOX, CPUs etc so AMD will release a GPU and wont wait for nvidias inventory to get over. That will force nvidia to release thiers.
it's true tho, mid Sep massive dump of 2nds gpu, plus new series out from BOTH AMD and Nvidia
4000 series is rumoured to be delayed until next year
Yeh because nvidia wants to clear out their massive supply of 3000
Oh man, RTX 4000s must carry super power. Keep hodling, hodlers
Lower the price if you want to take my 1K.
I can HODL more if you don't like the offer….And here I am still stuck to 1070Ti.
If only I had crystal ball to know when the 4000 series will be released and price.
Trying to hodl for a bit longer
1070 here and I'm ok with the performance I'm getting still.
At least that is worth being stuck at Ive been stuck with a GTX980 :/
sli gtx 970 setup here, still holding… :)
My F5 key appears to be bound to a macro that drops the price of GPUs.
HODDDDDLLLLLLL. Price alert set for $999.
Lol $50 price drop on a $1500 card. Better off using the 4 cents coupons for fuel
This is a decentish price, you will save money if you wait but that is always the case to some degree. I think the 4000 series will fleece the market. The market is already set, nvidia and amd can just make halve the production, and sell for twice the money and they will laugh. All they have to say is that some staff had the flu and that justifies everything.
Lol RIP me buying the 3080 TUF the other day for $1269
The 12gb? I did too and don't regret it, the difference between the cards is negligible
OCing that one makes it a decent bit faster than the 3080ti with a good bin.
how is the cooling performance of Asus TUF in general?
Undervolt and repad and she's sweet. Everyone suggests putting on the extra/missing thermal pad on the memory plate as a lot of users get 100c mem after gaming for some time
These are dropping fast. I purchased a card back in April, so I am not on HODL as much for mid range cards, but for the top cards?
Theyre dropping so fast definitely hodl.
4090ti will be sub $400 on launch mark my words HODLLLL
Sub $4000 more like it!
I keep buying all these cards on sale, might as well start a GPU farm. :P
For gaming systems it's difficult to see the value here, especially with all these 6900 XT $999 deals. All cards are still overpriced, but nvidia seems to be consistently more overvalued. I'll make do with my $349 6600 XT until the whole market returns to sanity. Hopefully this time next year we'll all be rolling in $400 RTX 4060s… but with nvidia's current stubbornness towards pricing that seems as unlikely as Intel offering something competitive by then.
Very power limited, get the ASUS Strix or EVGA FTW instead
Nothing wrong with this card if people just run it at default clock speed. Not everyone wants to OC their GPU.
Unless they're gaming on 8K monitor lol
If you dont want to OC, but buy an OC model, you can get better life out of the card as well as better VRM +other components.
The benefits you’ll get from overclocking aren’t worth the extra noise they make tbh
waiting on 5090ti
What about 6090ti, or 7090ti?
Under $1k, I may pull the trigger, otherwise, HODL waiting for the 4000 series announcement.
