NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090/3080 getting a price cut? NVIDIA is set to announce a new price cut for GeForce RTX 30 series, reports Benchlife. The website citing their own sources claims that as soon as this week NVIDIA will be officially lowering the prices of their RTX 30 high-end models. The price...

For 3080 and up yes, but it is (or was) temporary promotion, not permanent cut to MSRPs

edit:
OldNew
RTX 3090 Ti$1,999$1,499
RTX 3090$1,499$1,299
RTX 3080 Ti$1,199$1,099
RTX 3080 12GBN/A$799
 
It is possible to score a RTX3070 here in Sweden for around 600/650USD. I'd rather get the 3080 12gb for 700 then but still, hardware prices are very reasonable. Thats before RTX4000 hits then, Ampere should drop even more.
 
Would anyone like to convince me not to buy a new 3090? In spite of new flagship coming out later this year?

My needs are fairly simple and don't really need a high end GPU for gaming, though having one would be great once I move to a higher resolution monitor and for playing with high quality RT.

I do however want a lot of VRAM for prosumer rendering. 24Gb would be fantastic, really opening up the scene scale. I could certainly work with 16Gb, double what I currently work with on my 1080, but that would be absolute minimum.

I also do not want a GPU that is crazy for power. I'd like to stick with my 760w platinum Seasonic PSU which would drive a normal 3090 fine, paired with a 5600X CPU. Leaks are currently pointing towards significantly higher power needs for next generation.

I also have serious doubts about Nvidia pricing a 4090 much south of $2k. I can see a 4080 possibly having 16Gb VRAM and that would probably be my only reason to wait and spend ~$800 instead of $1300 now.

This. Outside of VRAM you will be able to get more for less in a few months.

You're probably not going to get 24GB next generation for under $1800 but I wouldn't buy a 3090 today for $1300 . New 3090's on eBay are flirting with $1000 and retail will soon follow. I say give it a few weeks.

It's a pretty bad deal aside from RAM though as 16GB Ada is going to be much faster and < $1000.
 
I don't think the 4000 series is going to launch in a few months, I think they won't launch until at least next year with the amount of 3000 stock I hear they have to clear out the channels.

Don't carve it in stone quite yet, but don't be shocked when they keep pushing the launch date back either.

According to Nvidia, the discounts on the 3080 and above are "temporary" and will return to their higher prices, though that likely depends on how well they sell at the current prices given the lack of buyers of new GPUs. I certainly can't see 3080 12Gb, 3080 Ti and 3090/Ti selling at the regular prices.

I'm not really looking at New gpus on Ebay as most warranties aren't transferable from a private seller. So unless they're including proof of purchase with an EVGA model (which 90% of EVGA sellers don't mention warranty and likely don't know about them), then there's no use going "new" on Ebay.

No.
4090 will be a price tiers above 3080/3090 when launched and in different performance category. In fact You can already find Zotac Trinity OC 3080Ti at $770 USD in Taiwan. These prices are to clean inventory channel and prepare for Ada introduction. Thus zero competition between <$1000 GA102 end of life discounts and >1500 AD102 at launch in September/October
 
What I think more people are concerned with is the timeline of the lower tiers given market conditions. The concern is if those are essentially pushed back to 2023 in terms of real volume, even if the actual "launch" date itself might still be in 2022 with the 4080/4070. At least certainly with AD104 RTX 4070, that will be competing against a significant amount of Ampere cards, or be a huge pricing/product disappointment which is another issue.

Although you can technically say the new generation launched with the RTX 4090 (or with AMD's equivalent for their end), from a consumer relevance perspective that segment especially with real market conditions (no mining to offset costs) is of much relevance in terms of purchasing.
 
Just ordered a 3060ti as on deal of the day for £400 so my GTX1070 can finally be retired.

I only game at 1080p so I'm expecting some good frame rates with RT enabled without the need for DLSS.

I don't think that 4070-4080 timelines will be affected as much as people seem to suggest.
Ampere are on sale and we're still some 2-3 months from Lovelace launch (actual availability).
Even with Lovelace launch it is possible that Ampere will remain on sale which should take care of price/perf issues compared to Lovelace during its launch window.
Basically if someone is expecting a 4070 to launch at $500 - not going to happen. Even with such MSRP it will launch at higher price and will stick to it for some months. Which should make these deals on 3080s kinda attractive despite 4070 being available.
But we'll see.

What are 3080’s going for now? Surely after 4070 launches a 3080 would need to be under $600 to draw any attention. Betting stock to stock the 4070 is 25% faster than a 3080.

About MSRP? So $700-900'ish? Another 100-200 drop and they'll probably land around the same perf/price as 4070 will be selling at during the first 2-3 months after launch.
