EVGA slashes RTX 3090 Ti price by $1000 to just $1149

pcgamer.com:

Graphics card prices have been on a downward trajectory for some time, but there's one card that kept its premium price. It's the RTX 3090 Ti(opens in new tab), a monster of a card by just about every measure. At $1,999 it was never going to be a card the majority would consider buying, but if you really want one, you can get one for just $1,149(opens in new tab).

The EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti FTW3 Gaming (say that 10 times fast) was originally listed for $2,149, so a full $1,000 drop is impressive. At the time of writing it was out of stock, but the higher-clocked FTW3 Ultra Gaming is just $50 more at $1,199 and is in stock. Whether it will stay that way depends on how eager people are(opens in new tab) to buy a high-end GPU close to the launch of the RTX 40 series(opens in new tab) in the coming months.

If you want the best RTX 30 card of all, it's the RXT 3090 Ti. It uses the fully enabled GA102 GPU with 10,752 CUDA cores, 84 dedicated ray tracing (RT) cores and 336 Tensor Cores. Add to that 24GB of fast GDDR6X and you've got yourself one heckuva card, and one that won't suddenly seem slow even after next-gen cards launch.

EVGA's 3090 Ti graphics cards come with Nvidia's 'Face Your Demons game' bundle that includes Ghostwire: Tokyo(opens in new tab), Doom Eternal(opens in new tab), and Doom Eternal Year One Pass. Not a bad bit of added value on top of the steep discount on the card itself.
