Currently, NVIDIA’s new generation of graphics cards have launched the RTX 4090, RTX 4080 and RTX 4070 Ti. Previous news pointed out that the RTX 4070 and RTX 4060 will be launched in Q2, and the time point may fall in April, which means there is only more than a month left. I don’t know if this is the reason. I am afraid that the RTX 30 series will be more difficult to sell in the future. Recently, well-known foreign online shopping platforms have greatly reduced the price of the founding edition of the RTX 30 series. The average price is about 200 US dollars. The RTX 3080 is even more sweet at 420 US dollars, which is about NT$12,500.
Will NVIDIA RTX 30 series prices continue to drop? RTX 3080 appears abroad for only 420 US dollars, and the average selling price of other products has also dropped by 200 US dollars.
According to foreign media reports, earlier on the BestBuy website, the price of the founding edition of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series has dropped significantly, namely RTX 3090 Ti, RTX 3080 Ti, RTX 3080 10GB and RTX 3070:
- GeForce RTX 3090 Ti: US$879.99, discount of US$220, about NT$26,500
- GeForce RTX 3080 Ti: US$719.99, discount of US$180, about NT$21,800
- GeForce RTX 3080: US$419.99, discount of US$280, about NT$12,500
- GeForce RTX 3070: US$299.99, discount of US$200, about NT$9,200
Compared with the previous selling prices of BestBuy, these 4 graphics cards have dropped significantly, but if compared with the MSRP recommended selling price, the gap is even more terrifying. For example, the MSRP of GeForce RTX 3090 Ti is 1999.99 US dollars, and BestBuy can buy it for 879.99 US dollars, which means it is about 1120 US dollars cheaper, which is less than 50% off.
As for the other RTX 30 series, there seems to be no change to the RTX 3060 Ti. The RTX 3060 is $299.99 and does not receive a big discount.
The only thing to note is that the RTX 3080 Founder Edition has 10GB VRAM. Players who will buy this graphics card should basically play 3A-level games, which may not be enough.
I have also checked in Taiwan. It is not that easy to buy the NVIDIA RTX 30 series founding edition on shopping platforms. Most of them are sold by individuals or stores at auctions, and the price is still the same as before, and there is no big price reduction.
Although BestBuy often uses such large price cuts to promote old products, since there is a precedent, it also means that other platforms may follow suit. After all, other models of the RTX 40 series will be launched soon, and the performance will definitely be stronger. In addition, the price of the current graphics card cannot be as high as when the RTX 30 series was launched (at that time, affected by the surge in cryptocurrency, it was not available on the market, so it was a seller’s market). It is really better to sell them out as soon as possible.
In addition, for friends in Japan, you can also take a look at the Intel ARC A750 graphics card. Recently, Japanese stores have also launched super sweet prices:
