That’s $600 more than the original MSRP of $699, nearly double the amount. The RTX 3080 on the other hand may make you pale, currently averaging a price of $1300 on reseller sites. The RTX 3060 Ti is currently at $667 in terms of its price, which is far from its original MSRP of $399. If you take a moment to look at the actual numbers of prices, some of these may even make you choke on your breath. Since the launch of the RTX 30 series scalpers have been spotted to sell various GPUs anywhere from around 130% of MSRP up to over 220%: In fact, scalpers even raised their prices by 6-25% on top of the recently raised prices due to tariffs and component shortages.Īnd just before you could think anything would get any worse, even the previous-gen cards of the RTX 20 series, GTX 16 series, GTX 1000 series, and even the GTX 900 series have all jumped up in prices by around 33-100% since the new generation of Ampere-based cards launched. That’s a total of $61.5 million in sales, and around $15.2 million in profit. Not only is there an extremely low amount of stock available for the new graphics cards thanks to an overwhelming amount of demand, but prices are also increasing rapidly thanks to component shortages, increased costs in manufacturing and logistics, and, of course, scalpers.Īccording to a recent analysis of the graphics card market, RTX 30 series resellers have sold nearly 50,000 units. It’s bad out there, and things only seem to be getting worse. Look, I’m not going to sugarcoat it for you.
