Want an Nvidia RTX 3080? They’re in stock at MSRP right now

EVGA has restocked several of its Nvidia RTX 30-series graphics cards for near list price, and you can buy them immediately. Following consistently inflated GPU prices, it seems the best graphics cards are finally back in stock — and at a price that gamers may be able to afford.

For nearly two years, EVGA has restricted its graphics cards to a queue system, forcing hopeful buyers to wait until their name comes up before purchasing a graphics card. The models in stock now are available for anyone to buy right away, no waiting required.

  • RTX 3090 Ti FTW3 Ultra — $2,200
  • RTX 3090 Ti FTW3 — $2,150
  • RTX 3090 Ti FTW3 Black — $2,ooo
  • RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra — $1,700
  • RTX 3080 Ti FTW3 Ultra Hydro Copper — $1,530
  • RTX 3080 Ti FTW3 Ultra — $1,300
  • RTX 3080 Ti XC3 Ultra Hydro Copper — $1,430
  • RTX 3080 Ti XC3 Ultra Hybrid — $1,380
  • RTX 3080 Ti XC3 Ultra — $1,280
  • RTX 3080 12GB FTW3 Ultra Hydro Copper — $1,250
  • RTX 3080 12GB FTW3 Ultra Hybrid — $1,1200
  • RTX 3080 12GB XC3 Ultra Hydro Copper — $1,200

  • RTX 3080 12GB XC3 Ultra — $980
  • RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra Hydro Copper Gaming — $920
  • RTX 3070 Ti FTW3 Ultra — $760
  • RTX 3050 XC — $300

These are some of the lowest GPU prices we’ve seen in months. The prices of graphics cards have been tumbling over the past few months, as cryptocurrency miners sell off old units and the supply chain begins to stabilize. EVGA is one of the first vendors to return to direct sales, and it’s offering solid discounts.

The RTX 3050, for example, is only $50 above its list price. The 12GB RTX 3080 — which we said was a bad deal in our review — is selling for below its list price. If you’ve been eagerly waiting to pick up a new graphics card, now is the time. EVGA isn’t alone here, either. Last month, Asus announced it would cut the prices of Nvidia graphics cards as of April 1.

The GPU shortage has pushed the prices of graphics cards extremely high, with some cards selling for thousands of dollars over the course of 2021. Prices have been dropping over the past several months, but we’ve only seen cards near list price over the past few weeks. Hopefully, by the time summer rolls around, graphics cards will regularly sell near list price.

EVGA’s offerings are enticing, but it’s important to note the lack of lower-end options in Nvidia’s RTX 30-series lineup. Those looking for a flagship card are spoiled with options, though. EVGA has several models of the RTX 3080 Ti, for example, from the liquid-cooled RTX 3080 Ti XC3 Ultra Hydro Copper to the RGB-ridden RTX 3080 Ti FTW3 Ultra.

We’ve confirmed that the cards listed above are in stock at the time of publication, though we suspect that will change. Although GPUs aren’t as hard to get as they once were, there’s a good chance some of the cards above will sell out.

These early RTX 4080 Super listings confirmed my worries about the GPU
Jeff Fisher holding the RTX 4080 Super at CES 2024.

I was worried this was going to happen. The first listings for Nvidia's upcoming RTX 4070 Ti Super and RTX 4080 Super suggest that prices for these high-end cards will be much higher than we expected.

Zotac listed about half a dozen models prematurely on Amazon. The listings have been taken down, but VideoCardz was able to capture a couple of screenshots showing the prices of the upcoming GPUs. They show a Zotac AMP Extreme RTX 4080 Super at $1,400, as well as an a Trinity Black RTX 4070 Ti Super at $900. The list prices of these GPUs is $1,000 and $800, respectively.

Nvidia is missing a golden opportunity in PC gaming
Assassin's Creed Mirage on the MSI Claw handheld.

There's a rising tide of handheld gaming PCs, and Nvidia is missing out on the action. The push of handhelds into the mainstream started with some purpose-built AMD systems on a chip (SoCs), but now Intel is joining the fray with its Meteor Lake platform. Out of the big three, only one company is missing: Nvidia.

Nvidia probably isn't too concerned with making an SoC for handhelds -- after all, it was AI that pushed it to become a trillion-dollar company -- and it's a long shot that the company would ever make one. With that in mind, consider what follows to be wishful thinking because Nvidia could make one insane SoC for handheld gaming PCs.

I’m worried about the Nvidia RTX 4080 Super
MSI RTX 4080 Suprim X installed in a PC.

I'm worried about Nvidia's upcoming RTX 4080 Super, but probably not for the reason you think. Nvidia revealed the long-rumored GPU at CES 2024, and perhaps the most shocking news around the announcement was that Nvidia was going to drop the price. Instead of releasing at the same $1,200 list price as the original RTX 4080, the RTX 4080 Super is launching at $1,000.

It's a great price, and a positive step for Nvidia, which has largely been seen as the driving force behind high GPU prices over the past year. I'm worried the price might be too good, though.
