Nvidia RTX 3080 12GB and 3080 Ti graphics cards are in stock at list prices

pcinvasion.com:

Graphics card availability has improved significantly over the past few weeks. This recent trend marks a stark contrast to what’s been about an 18 month slog of terrible conditions for gamers interested in upgrading their PCs. Although things are still far from normal, where you can expect to find a new graphics card for a reasonable price (compared to previous generations), the recent trend is still welcome and perhaps a sign of better things to come. As of now, those interested in high end Nvidia graphics cards can even find RTX 3080 12GB and 3080 Ti models in stock for list prices near MSRP.

Manufacturers pulled a bit of a stunt with the RTX 3080 12GB model and failed to list any MSRP. As of today, pricing seems to start around $1,250 for certain models, with others reaching up to $1600+. No matter how you slice it, these cards are expensive compared to the original RTX 3080 pricing, but some may say $1,250 is a steal compared to previous scalper pricing.

Right now, you can get the Gigabyte RTX 3080 12GB Gaming OC over at Amazon or Newegg for $1,250. If you prefer another brand, EVGA has stock for its XC3 Black model at Antonline for $1,250. You can also find the FTW3 Ultra model over on EVGA’s website for $1,300.

As for the RTX 3080 Ti, the XC3 Ultra model of this graphics card is also in stock over at EVGA’s website for $1,330. This is an excellent pick out of the bunch if you’re looking for high end performance and money isn’t a concern. This model will perform better than the RTX 3080 12GB, since it’s basically a 3090 with less VRAM.
