nvidia cards haven't sold for MSRP since the 1000 series, and only now THG is noticing?

 

[Phaaze88]

The 329USD MSRP never existed in the first place because Nvidia skipped the FE model for this one.

Oh noez...

Price in Germany 600-800 Euro. Mad, just mad.

I got my 2070 for MSRP. But I got mine after coin miners switched to ASCII-based mining and they weren't buying up GPUs like there's no tomorrow. So give it some time and the market should adjust itself accordingly.

I bought a 3070 at MSRP on launch day. After using rewards points, it was actually well below MSRP ($387 shipped). The 2000 series FE cards were always MSRP throughout their life. 3000 series FE cards are MSRP as well, but they are only selling from Best Buy, and you really have to get lucky to land one from them.

Well... this was expected. Just how high the prices will Rice after these initial prices!
If these stay at 600 to 700€ It is not too bad! About the same as 3080 msrp

Bought my MSi RTX2080 Super gaming X-Trio for £320 just before the imaginary release ( to the public) of the 3080, and i'm glad I did

issue is Nvidia priced 3000 series cheap....3rd party ppl said they cant sell em for that or they wont make $.

I got my 2070...after coin miners switched to ASCII-based mining...

When they switch to Unicode mining, card prices will drop even further.

The screenshot is for 3060Ti’s and not 3060’s.

There is nothing surprising here. Retailers know that the moment they start selling these cards, they will get flipped at 1.5 to 2x the MSRP. So instead of letting scalpers enjoy all the profit, retailers will also join the fun.

Oh noez...

Yeah, MSRP is no longer relevant now. Nvidia don't even produce a card at this MSRP, and they expect their AIB to do so.

When they switch to Unicode mining, card prices will drop even further.

I wrote a personal program for that years ago. It mines Windows for all available fonts, displays all scalable integral point sizes for the selected font up to 1024, allows switching styles and code pages, and lets you create and edit text in a small textbox. I had to fix the app several years ago when one (and only one) of the new fonts from Microsoft supported 0 point size, which caused a crash.

Anyway, ASIC, not ASCII. Unicode mining... that's funny.

Those naughty scalpers, selling all those cards at a heavy markup price and... Hey, wait a minute!

"....due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain issues, and the Chinese New Year’s effect on production. All of those factors will contribute to the RTX 3060’s pricing."

The message that this sends to all profiteers is let's keep the chaos going and throw in another strain of CV-19 to keep the world economy in turmoil.
