EVGA RTX 3080 bundles - cheapest $1497 GOGOGO

all graphics cards are overpriced. now that being said, i dont see how you think that it's a ripoff. a few years ago the 2080 ti was selling for $1200-$1300, now we have the 3080 ti and the 3080 12gb model which is selling for almost the same price, with over twice the performance as a 2080 ti. even buying from the evga diy, its not that bad of a price, you have to buy a psu and a aio with it (but it's something you can use now or in the future). i know my opinion won't be very popular, but i think it's realistic. 


I don't agree mate. The 2080ti was another huge ripoff to start with and if you compare the 3080 10GB and the 12GB prices it's a really big difference for just 2 extra gb of memory and some other negligible improvements    

The 3080 12GB is more akin to 3080 Ti than to a 3080 10GB. Nvidia should have named it like 3080 Tw (tweener).
I also thought the 2080 Ti was too expensive - especially the HC version, which was allegedly a bit more expensive than a 3080 Ti FTW3.

Exactly.  There was no point to releasing it other than to hide the MSRP.
 
When they went from a $699 1080Ti to a $1199 2080Ti, they lost me completely.  

These bots move fast, man. I was looking at picking up a new PSU (since my 750 is getting kind of old) and while I was sitting there weighing my options, everything sold out.

Everyone agrees the 3080 12GB (just like the 3080 Ti before) was nothing more than a cash grab... but all are gone in hours on DIY page. Until people stop paying these prices, they are here to stay...

Seriously. The price jumps of the top end chips are crazy. $499 GTX 580 -> $699 780 Ti -> $1199 2080 Ti -> $1399 3080 Ti
 
Obviously there were cards in between but those are just where the price jumped. At first they just brought back the "Ti" nomenclature to add to the top end chip and up charged $200 for it. The 580 was the same level of chip as the 780Ti. 780 was cut down. And then with Turing they just stopped even trying to hide it and just went crazy. I wonder what 4080Ti will cost. People are willing to continue to pay these prices, so where will Nvidia stop?

My guess is anyone who won't buy a 3080 ti because of the cost is not going to get a 4080. Prices are not going down, at least not significantly, they will continue to go up with new releases of cards. I truly believe that life is too short to wait a year or two for something that you really want. If you really want it, bite the bullet and get it. Isn't that why we work and save our money, so we can buy stuff that we want.

Oh I am with you, I get the cards I want for sure. Always have. I used to rock 3 way SLI of the top cards for every generation when it was still a thing. I am for sure part of the problem. I just wonder where it ends? Do they keep going up $200 every generation? I mean these last two have been a bit crazy in the jumps in price. They usually stay with a certain price for awhile. Like 8800GTX-GTX280-GTX285-GTX480-GTX580 @ $499 and then 780Ti-980Ti-1080Ti @ $699 before the major jump in price $1199 for 2080Ti. But then the very next generation, another $200. Obviously the current state of affairs with mining and shortages have a role in the price but it's a bit out of hand. It would have seemed more reasonable to keep the 3080Ti at $1199 I feel, and probably the 4080Ti too, but since people (including me) buy them anyway they have no incentive to stop. I just wonder what the price is that people will stop buying. I am not sure for me personally, but there will be a limit.

Disappointing dry Monday, but on the up side , seeing lots of 0 bid auctions on ebay today.

Which SKUs? Just curious.

When can I expect to get the 3080 ti? I'm getting sick of my 2080 ti.
I think I'm close. Last drop was 6/30. I think I'm early July or something.

Technically the top chip of the 30 series would be the 3090 ti which has the full ampere die
Argument could be made that it's a titan in disguise..
Also for those who criticize the 3080 12gb
It's basically a 3080 super without the label of being super 😆 🤣
You could also think of the 3080 ti being the direct successor of the 2080 ti, with the 3090 (ti) being a result of newer 8nm node allowing for more scaling of the die, since a 2090 Turing card based on the less efficient 12nm node would probably have been too much power/heat to be usable/feasible

Thanks! Could be interesting if we can do it in Europe. :..(
 

According to FindPost/3526312 it is at 13:24:01 on 25 January 2021, so you have a long wait ahead.
 
BTW:  The self-reported queue updates are posted twice daily M-F.

When would I be getting a notify? Thanks in advance!

Sheeesh, hopefully soon. I just picked up the KH version from Best Buy last month.
 
These queue times don't give me very much hope for my 3050 queue time below vvvv

NVIDIA has finally called off the ARM acquisition. It was always going to be a close call...fallout includes the resignation of ARM's CEO.  
 
Hopefully EVGA_JacobF has discovered his drawing implements and can paint us like his French girls. It is Tuesday...and, gosh darn it, we need it to be Titanic.
 
Best of luck today!
 
As of 8:35 am PT Tuesday, February 8, this is the status of the North American queues (bolded font represents that a queue drop has reportedly occurred since the morning of February 7; italicized parentheticals calculate the length of movement from that SKU's prior report*):
