RTX 3080 price?

[Shodan]

I know there's no way to be sure, but I'm wondering if there are any rumors or predictions about how much the RTX 3080 will cost. Not a Super or a Ti version, just the standard RTX 3080.

Should it cost as much as RTX 2080 did when it came out?

[AdahnGorion]

It will most likely cost 10% more.. Because you pay to be an early adopter and there is no competition atm.

In general, being an early adopter is a costly affair, often without much gain (since most goes does not really utilize it anyway) so if you have a not to old system, that pulls fine, then it is better to wait 3-6 months before buying.

I read that the 3080 should be around $799. I was hoping for more in the $699 range.

Current rumours say around 1000 + brand cost (so 100-200 more atleast)
Anyway the trend seems to be 15-30% increase in comparison to 20xx series cards.

1200-1500 USD depending on the model from an AIB partner is my guess. 1200 for the founders. I think the price hike was the 20 series already for RTX and they won't hike it again.

Maybe that's just wishful thinking since I'm eyeballing a next gen GPU to get. I skipped getting a GPU for my yearly purchase in exchange for getting a CPU (3950x, mobo and ram to match) because performance increase over a 1080ti was too low to justify the price tag. I think the 3090 is going to replace the Titan and run at over $2000.

I'm dead set on a top end GPU, just waiting to see where the cards fall if that's gonna be Radeon or Nvidia.

Technically, the 20 series didn't have a price hike, they just reworked their product stack and added Ray tracing, I'd expect similar pricing again, unless they drop titan and simply name it the 3090, in which case, expect it to cost 2k and the 'top' card to sit around 12-1400 where the 2080ti and previous titans sat.

No price hike? The 1080ti was like 800 for the founders where as the 2080ti was like 1200 for the founders.

I'm sure some of that was to cover the cost of R&D for the brand new tensor cores, some of that is early adopter fee, and probably some of it because they don't have any real competition at that end of the stack

[Monk]

Yes and if you read what I said and look at the entire product line sensibly, it's pretty clear they shifted the models around, the 2080 cost 800 same as the 1080ti, the 2080ti cost 1100, same as the previous titan. The 2070 cost 500 same as the 1080, etc etc.

There was no price hike, they rebranded the stack and added Ray tracing, which is why the only performance gain was had with the 2080ti.

Except performance between the 1080ti and 2080 doesn't reflect any kind of increase. They're damn near the same.

With covid, It would be silly not too milk their customer of every last cent, expect at least 20% increase from current gen launch price.

Which is what I said and why they are the same price...
They basically only added Ray tracing to the 20 series and reshuffled the naming scheme, I'm half expecting the 3080ti to be the 'top' gaming card with a 3090 replacing the titan at its current price point as nvidia has generally reserved the 90 designation for extreme options with dual gpu's previously.

I agree with you on that, but what you say about shifting the stack and not hiking the price doesn't make sense to me. In order to get eh 15-20% performance increase from 10 series to 20 series you need to pay for the price hike.

Otherwise you're saying they just re-released the same old ♥♥♥♥ with tensor cores stapled on and a name change (performance wise). Because buying the 800 dollar card in the 10 series and then buying the 800 dollar card on the 20 series nets you basically zero benefit, minus like the 3 titles that have ray tracing support.

[Monk]

Yep, that is basically what they did and why alot didn't upgrade, when you look at price and performance it's pretty clear that's what they did, which is why I'm fairly hopeful for ampere as they have had like 5 years to work on it.

This isn't the first time nvidia has done this, apart from the 780ti the whole 700 line up was near identical to the 600 series, same with the 500 series comparing to the 400 series.

While Ray tracing adoption is slow, that kind of makes sense given how long games take to develop, however, when I have used it, it makes it very clear that it is the future of lighting and its odd, I found when I disabled it, you notice its not there, more than noticing that it's there when you enable it, I guess it's because it brings virtual worlds one step closer to reality.
