WOW…checked here today at EVGA about prices going further down on a 3090ti! They were offered here a week ago at a cool $1,149. Now back to $1,399. Is EVGA running low on 3090ti’s and the price now going up again? Or why would they do such a thing? All of the news I read is that GPU prices are still prone to go down much further and especially for the premium RTX 3090 cards. At 'Best Buy' the other day I overheard buyers talking about waiting a bit longer until the 3090ti can be had for right around $1000 and the fact being brought-up that economic times do remain bad these days and cash for especially non-essential goods remains super tight! This also makes me wonder when EVGA will start to actively be discounting or bundling their Z690 Kingpin MB and offering it (directly from their own company website) with a hefty T2 1600 Watt Titanium PSU in tow.

I can only assume that people started buying them, so prices adjusted accordingly.

Those people are morons that repeat reddit tier conventional wisdom. We ARE in the price crater. The bottom is bumpy, not smooth. Actual announcement of 4000 series will drive prices slightly lower, maybe, but the rumors are so outlandish they might be already overly priced in. So if there's disappointment prices recover a bit. If there's mega hype, prices drop further. When the new cards go on market they will get scalped like crazy, meaning Ampere prices will recover when the 4090 street price is over $2000. If ETH PoS actually happens, prices will drop a bit more as the last of the enthusiast miners throw in the towel and sell off, mainly commodity cards. If it's delayed (yet again), miners will sit tight and continue buying bargain cards.

Most likely. Price will bounce around a bit up I doubt they are going to bottom out below $1k soon. There is no reason to sell them at fire sale prices right now. Unless something happens (AMD cards come out and beat them) they can just wait the market out while sitting on some 4xxx series stockpiles.

seems like normal business to me
you have a surplus of product nobody buys? lower the prices until they sell. this gauges demand with respect to price (elasticity of demand) and once they've shown they can sell a lot more at a lower price, raising the price slightly until demand drops again is good business. i'm sure they took some Ls on those deep discounted sales.
when 40 series drops and the demand outstrips supply, any stock of 30 series cards will be sold at higher prices if demand remains. we just won't ever be back to the 30 series insanity unless crypto somehow triples in value again (pls no)

"Poor Person" meekly holds up hand. I made my decision at launch because I believed that when the 40 series launched they may reduce prices maybe by $200. I didn't think that was worth the wait. I never dreamed the market would crash and there would be a huge oversupply and the discount would be $1000. I can't let myself regret it.

They go down slightly to get interest and then they vanish as inventory sells out. When these cards are gone, they are gone for good. That means if people miss them they can find themselves paying whatever a 4000 series comes out at.

Probably. Also, faster they got out, less likely the 4xxx get delayed. So get them while they are "cheap"

While the raw performance of bleading-edge tech tends to last a long time, the price/performance ratio should be considered a very temporary, "consumable" item.

thinking about this as a sale is not the mentality I would choose. the inventory has been marked to FMV and is getting pushed out asap as EVGA clearly overestimated pricing and how much 30xx demand remains. part of that is buyers' ability to pay, part of that is fx, part of that is tariffs/taxes and the big one is no more backdoor B2B miner sales. the markdowns are presented as a sale, rather than a fire sale. If they presented it as a liquidation, it would probably be even more dilutive, unnecessarily. EVGA is getting whipsawed around like everyone else. running a business with physical products is extremely difficult right now. zippytek

couldnt agree more. I'll try to read threads before replying. no promises lol

Prices go up, prices go down. That's how things you buy work, especially when it comes to tech. Buy now, the price may go up or down later. Again, that's how it goes. No amount of complaining will change that.  It does help to use a credit card with a price guarantee.

Are they really looking that cheap, or were they just crazy over priced before? I'm thinking it's the latter.

Friend, this is how much foounders 3060ti edition cost from best buy. And we think even that is 100dollars over the good price. A 3060ti should be 299 for a good price and 3060 should be 259mayne.
