Saw this on the stopdrop discord server

hey @everyone been a pretty huge newsday for GPUs by now your aware that the ASUS MSRP increased I can now confirm that ASUS GIGABYTE PNY ZOTAC and MSI have now increased their prices This is due to a tarrif in the US that GPUs were excluded from. this has now ended, you can find out more here https://www.federalregister.gov/doc...-process-and-technical-amendments-chinas-acts EVGA is refusing to comment but will most likely follow the rest if you have a backorder you should contact the seller to see if they will honor the backorder still.

No idea what this does to AMD cards.

 

[godhandiscen]

Probably related to the hike in crypto prices too.

 

[Chiggs]

I feel justified paying a scalper $500 over MSRP for my 3090.

 

[Tickle My Tendies]

3070 was best value at 500 bucks while it lasted. Damn. That's a bummer. I lucked out super hard for my 3080 FE

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

Wonder how much ebay prices are going to inflate.

 

[Cravis]

Probably related to the hike in crypto prices too.

Yep my first thought as well.

 

[GreatnessRD]

At first, I was upset I bought the 3060 Ti at launch for $449 +tax, but after looking at these prices... I feel A LOT better, lol.

PC market is just outchea wilding!

 

[Fuz]

Son of a bitch.

 

[rofif]

Thank God consoles are not used for crypto.
Also, i was lucky to get 3080fe week after release for 699 and sold watch dogs for 30... So 669. Now looks like I robbed the bank

 

[Celcius]

If you think about it, it doesn't really matter how much they charge.... I can't find one anyway.
I'm never going to upgrade from this GTX 1080 Ti am I?

 

[nkarafo]

The 3060 ti already costs 600+ euros in my country.

I guess i will be getting a console this gen.

 

[Irobot82]

AMD cards haven't really been selling at MSRP outside of the default card.

 

[TransTrender]

Yikes, those prices are now in ridiculous territory.
$500 for the bottom card in the enthusiast stack.

 

[lmimmfn]

Rocking a 1080Ti also, just think of the fortune we are saving, by the time cards will be available the 6050 will be 3x the power of the 1080Ti for 800 quid

I'm on a 1080 and I'm still waiting for inventory and reasonable prices.

Same here. I'm thinking at this point on my new build just put the gtx 970 from my old PC for the time being and then in 3-6 months try to get a video card. (I am on the EVGA queue. Who know's how long it'll take that to get a GPU to me.)

 

[TyphoonStruggle]

If the price is too high, don’t buy it.

GPUs are not a necessary good.

edit: imagine people whining for free corona-bucks then proceed to get mad about inflation

 

[Sun Blaze]

Right before Ampere's official announcement, I listed my 2080 Ti for $800. A dude offered me to come and pick it up the next day. The next day the 3070 was announced for $499. The guy canceled and went the extra mile and mocked me and offered me $400 for the 2080 Ti.

I messaged him again a few hours ago and asked him if he was still looking for a card. He said yes because he didn't manage to get a new card. I am now asking $900 for my 2080 Ti.

 

[alabtrosMyster]

If things go on like that the potatoe mashers that will beat the PS5/series x next year will cost at least 3000$!

Should've charged the whore cool $1100!

 

[Bubba77]

Got my msi 3090 last week at retail. Cant believe how much my used 2080ti is getting on ebay. A day left and its over 700 bucks. When a new 3070 beats it at less in games.

 

[teezzy]

Looks like I'll be setting on this RTX 2070 until quarantine is over at this point

Good. It'll keep me tied to my massive Steam backlog

 

[YCoCg]

3060 Ti's have been relisted at £900 and the 3070 at £1,200, HAHAHAHA, fuck this industry.

 

[ThatOneGrunt]

So annoying. I follow so many stock alert bots on Discord. The second they share a link and I click on it, everything is already sold out. How the hell are people getting cards???

 

[Keihart]

I dont know if its known, but sometimes you can find RTX cards at MSRP price in amazon japan, since i had to pay shipping and whatnot anyway, it was perfect for me, no idea if its still viable for people in NA.

 

[Kenpachii]

by having bots buying them from bots.

 

[Skifi28]

I was looking to upgrade and then I saw 3060tis going for over 700 euros in my country. I said fuck it, maybe in 2022.

 

[longdi]

my 1080ti still hanging in there.
wanted to get 3080 FE, but no stocks, 11GB > 10GB.
I said fuck it, maybe in 2022.

 

[IntentionalPun]

You can use your stimulus check to pay this extra tax, perfect timing!

 

[samjaza]

lucky, just got my 3080 at retail

 

[digitaltrance]

Some how early this morning I managed to grab me a Gigabyte 3090 Gaming model from B&H Photo - $1600.00

 

[TheUsual]

So looking at the link, looks like we in the US never charged a tarriff (HS Code 8473.30.1180) and now it's what?

 

[Celcius]

Same here. I'm thinking at this point on my new build just put the gtx 970 from my old PC for the time being and then in 3-6 months try to get a video card. (I am on the EVGA queue. Who know's how long it'll take that to get a GPU to me.)

Same here... I've been in the evga queue since 10/17 and still haven't heard anything

 

[supernova8]

I was hoping to get either a 6800 or a 3070 but yeah I've given up...... I'm not paying these outrageous prices. Hopefully AMD sorts their stock issues, releases loads of cards to pull prices down.

 

[Pagusas]

phew, glad I just finished my 5950x / 3090 build yesterday!!

 

[Mister Wolf]

Have a 3080 on preorder. ETA is 1/6/2021.

 

[DavidGzz]

Makes the 1360 bucks i have saved up so far for a new rig look like nothing. Oh wellz

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

What do I need a GPU for?

 

[eNT1TY]

Feel terrible for all those people that sold their 2080ti's after the ampere reveal for $400 specially if they didn't manage to replace it with a new card ,those things are $800-900 again.

 

[Diddy X]

Motherfucker.

 

[Leonidas]

Still have been unable to secure a modern GPU, they'll eventually be back at MSRP. I'll wait till then, lowest tier I'm willing to go is 3060 Ti.

Times like this make me happy I still have my old consoles, a crappy old backup GPU that can play older titles just fine and a backlog that will take me a lifetime to complete.

Feel terrible for all those people that sold their 2080ti's after the ampere reveal for $400 specially if they didn't manage to replace it with a new card ,those things are $800-900 again.

Yeah, sucks for those guys,
Glad I sold mine for $1100 prior to Ampere reveal

 

[aries_71]

Paying 2K $ for a gpu that in three years will be surpassed by 300 $ ones. Priceless.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Hoo boy... buying that all-in-one build with an RTX 3080 last month is looking like an even better decision in hindsight.

 

[K.S v2.0]

Wonder if this only affects the US since the tariff crap is only between China and the US...

 

[Kenpachii]

in 5 months i am going to sell my 750 ti for 500 bucks. who said that card had no legs. best investment ever

/s

 

[anothertech]

Dam, hot lucky with that 3080

 

[Knitted Knight]

Consoles become even more economical relative to traditional PC gaming.

Good...Good....

 

[Aarbron]

Asus extending the increase to all components:

Yup, very very very pleased with the Free upgrade I got on my 3070 model order.

 

[Topher]

phew, glad I just finished my 5950x / 3090 build yesterday!!

I've got that same case. Just......mine doesn't look as cool with yours all your water cooling.
