Nvidia finally offers generous discounts for its RTX 3000 cards following disappointing financial quarter results

[Redaktion]

With a 44% revenue decline projected for the gaming sector in the previous quarter, Nvidia is now willing to offer considerable discounts for the remaining RTX 3000 GPU inventory. This move is also meant to clear supply chains in preparation for the RTX 4000 launch later this year.

The reality in Germany is, e.g. for 3080 SUPRIM X:
- 10GB €1009 = 126.3% MSRP on 2022-05-07
- 10GB €1058.89 = 132.5% MSRP on 2022-08-09
- 12GB €908.90 = 113.8% MSRP of 10GB on 2022-07-19
- 12GB €1006.58 = 126% MSRP of 10GB on 2022-08-09

I know, I know, the utopian MSRPs of 3090TI etc. have got generous discounts but who cares? The only thing that matters is prices of cards one would actually want to buy, such as 3080 SUPRIM X 10GB (not the loud 12GB), whose German MSRP was €799. Today, I would pay 78% MSRP = €623 swallowing LHR but I would only consider a discount price significantly below that "generous". Tomorrow, I will pay less.

Generous discounts?
Are you serious? Either you're born yesterday, or have a memory of a fish.

Firstly, Nvidia cranked their prices almost 4!!! Times up, and now it's giving "generous" discounts, because tonnes of GPUs sitting unsold, as miners stopped buying your overpriced s***.

Author, what's wrong with you and your analytical skills?

Cards just now hitting msrp are at 42% discount? Some one smoking rocks

NO BUY UNTIL RTX4000 SERIES LAUNCH

Silly to buy a top end card now when a 4090 is coming this year.

The only card worth buying now is a 3060 due to the fact it won't be up dated for about 12 months. Maybe 3060ti.

If you are a budget builder it is a perfect time to shop for a GPU.

If you are building a top end rig probably just wait for the next gen.

Depends which card you want, could be another 12 months until 4060 is launched.

Also your monitor, if a 3070 will give the maximum frames and resolution your monitor will deliver why would someone wait to pay extra?

If you have a 4k high refresh rate monitor then wait, everyone else could pick up a card at a decent price right now.

People are saying there will be very few when they are released, so people could be waiting to be scalped again if they do wait.

Or if you have other uses for such GPU speed.

The "normal" release situation is having to wait 1 or 2 months until everybody can buy. Nvidia has bought much TSMC capacity. A new mining boom around Lovelace launch seems unlikely. Supply of raw materials for wafer and GPU production should not be too bad. So unless China attacks Taiwan or Nvidia creates an artificial shortage for the sake of driving consumers permanently to AMD, the situation should be "normal" rather than similarly bad as for Ampere.
