Average prices for AMD Radeon RX 6000 series cards and boards from the Nvidia GeForce RTX 30 range have hit a 12-month low according to a new report. The data was taken from numerous German and Austrian retailers and could indicate that RX 6000 and RTX 30 series graphics cards may soon hit MSRP levels.

I checked over 5 big online and local stores... (the ones that in my country or send to it)
The sad fact I couldnt find any of the rtx 3000 series cards below 2.1 times msrp ...
Yeah, were did they get those percentages? The cheapest possible 3080 I found (gigabyte with a blower cooler) is around 60% above msrp.
Today, the least expensive new 3080 in Germany is from Gainward at Notebooksbilliger for €1149 incl. 19% VAT. This is a model that might have been announced for €699 MSRP incl. then 16% VAT. So the card is 64.4% above its initial MSRP.
A few days ago, 3080 Suprim X cost €1249 compared to its MSRP of €799. So 56.3% above MSRP.
Circa a week ago for two days, some of the low build quality 3080s was sold for €1099 from a known retailer. 57.2% above MSRP.
During the first two weeks of July, the non-LHR 3080 Suprim X cost €1200 or 50.2% above its MSRP. Previously, it had been essentially unavailable except for a handful of lucky buyers.
Therefore, current 3080 prices are still absolutely outrageous. In a non-mining market, prices should be clearly below MSRP 1.5 years after launch. 3080 10 GB remains the most difficult-to-buy GPU. Of course, it is the only Ampere GPU I have wanted to buy.
