The cheapest I have seen for this card, the initial price at launch was $3450 but most retailers have increased it since.

$10-$20 ETH a day if you mined in 2021, in 2022 its less than $5 a day.
If you only mined in 2022, you could've made $1200-1300 from a 3080, it was at least $5 AUD/day profit, more with free power. So the card really only cost $200-300.
If you buy a $2k 4080 (which is really a 4070, it's 50% cutdown unlike the 3080 which was only 20% cutdown) the net cost is $2k.
@[Deactivated]: I just used the price they quoted me without checking, but it seemed low as I remembered 3090s going for over $3k. Techfast had a $1788 deal in early January. Either way, the card is 67% of a 4080 and had a net cost of ~$600, even if you bought in at the worst possible time.
The difference being that there's at least alternatives to Star Citizen that don't try get me to buy ships for $3k, whereas AMD and Nvidia both have ridiculous pricing and Intel didn't undercut them by any appreciable amount.
The original nfts lol. That game's been feature creeped to hell and I don't think the devs care because it means they can keep baiting in more fish. Infinite money machine.
the difference between nvidia card posts and the amd posts on this sight is moderately entertaining and disappointing at the same time
Thanks OP! Bought 6!
Thanks OP! Bought 2 for my lab
Is your dog a miner or a gamer??
Thanks bought 10
People need to get a grip and stop down voting or negging posted deals just because the inherent RRP of the product is high. Do you also neg all BMW or Tesla deals because a Model 3 costs twice as much as a Corolla?
At the end of the day this is a good deal for a 4090, one of the thermally best performing AIB models. The 4090 isn't fantastic value, but for what it's worth, this isn't a bad deal for a 4090.
And people seriously need to stop getting judgemental and/or preachy about what others do with their money. You dont like it/ it's priced beyond what you wanted it to be? Doesn't mean everyone has to agree. Some people have needs for GPUs like workstations, they don't care about your gaming frames getting costlier.
And even for gaming, PC gaming is becoming more expensive and niche, that's just how it is. The 1080 Ti was $1k, but the time of $1k top end GPUs is gone. My 1080Ti is now getting long in the tooth, and at some stage I'll have to decide my upgrade. As much as I despise the pricing shenanigans nVidia is pulling, I can't and won't "HODL" forever. It didn't work with the 20 or 30 series and I have little reason to believe it will now, especially with AMD presenting no threat in either value or performance.
We need this post in every high end GPU deal or expensive item.
Thanks!
It's getting a bit grating tbh to be constantly lectured. Prices for new and used cars went berserk during Covid. But if my car broke down or needed uneconomical maintenance or repairs, or if I just wanted to upgrade, I wouldn't have a choice. You can't tell others to "HODL", we all have our own reasons to buy or not. Is people paying RRP without question encouraging car makers to keep prices elevated even when supply improves? Of course. Should I rearrange my life over it, knowing that in the overall scheme of things I'll end up with an old/uneconomical car? Probably not.
Same with GPUs…yes, the new ones are very costly. Yes, there's enough people paying the high prices of cards like the 4090 that there's little incentive to reduce prices. Should I lose out on the quality of my hard-earned leisure time over it? At this stage, the "HODL"ing has seen my GPU go 3 generations out of date and struggling to keep up with modern games. I wouldn't even be able to play Assassins Creed Mirage when it releases, and I can't even play Gotham Knights now. If getting several years of good gaming leisure costs $1800 or more now, well so be it. I'm done sacrificing my leisure time (which is scarce and precious with life commitments) for the greater good.
The 1080 Ti was $1000-1100. The 2080 Ti was firmly $2k+. The 3080 was a reversion but the $1129-1400 "RRP" was a complete mirage and it was realistically a $2k+ card for most of its life. The 3090 was well north of $3k. That's just the way of things now, the x080 at $2k give or take a couple hundred and the x090 at $3k plus or minus a couple hundred.
I remember a month or so after launch of the 30 series I bought an 'inflated' priced Tuf 3080 locally for around $1800.
I figured I saw the trend, they were going up…. And more importantly, they were damn hard to find. I had no GPU, I sold my 2080 before the 30 series announcement which maintained the value…..
So what were my options, have nothing, or pay the little extra and have no stress anymore looking…. Felt good when they kept going up and I paid much less.
man…are you working for Asus? a fancy fan does not justify $300
@helloworld2019: Better thermal performance and a quieter cards does justify the extra couple hundred for some people. The Tuf is made almost entirely of metal, while similarly priced cards like the Gigabyte Gaming OC have a plastic shroud. People happily paid $1400 for a Tuf 3080 and $1500 for a Strix 3080 when an eVGA XC3 Black was $1129. That was extra $300-400 for a $1100 card. Why is $300 such a huge bother than for a $3k card? I'll take a Tuf any day over something like a Ventus or a Gigabyte Eagle or Gaming OC with their atrocious track record with thermal pad quality as well in addition to the cheap-looking plastic shroud.
Do you also neg all BMW or Tesla deals because a Model 3 costs twice as much as a Corolla?
I dunno but I've seen negs on Gesha because of the price because "it's too much for coffee". So it's not really isolated to graphics cards.
Yep. Whatever others think, the 4090 is an absolute beast of a card, it’s actually OP.
Yeah holding for 3060ti wasn’t worth it, I bought mine preowned in august and never felt regret, the “the price will drop to x by y” basically never went through. 4070 will have to beat 3080 while being close to $1k for me to buy it.
I’ve always bought nvidia because of the productivity performance and am willing to sacrifice gaming frames because amd practically ignores most productivityThis is the reality gamers have to accept. GPUs aren't just gaming devices now, there's significant demand from workstation users, especially in data science and machine learning. Even creative professionals benefit from them with GPU acceleration. The top tier SKUs, especially with large amounts of VRAM are especially good for machine learning even with their nerfed FP32 throughput because their raw performance is so high, and it's cheaper to get 2 4090s than a single A6000.
The prices reflect this. Gaming isn't the primary/sole focus for nVidia and won't ever be again. The workstation sector is just too lucrative.
certain people also keep saying people just buy the 4090 because its a "90" then turn around and say a "90" card shouldnt be x price, like i thought the 90 was just a number guys
never a big fan of asus. their GCs are overpriced with just fancy fans.

@iseeyou1312: $10-$20 ETH a day if you mined in 2021, in 2022 its less than $5 a day.
you need to pay power bill unless you run the rig in your employer's office which basically corporate theft.
