It was only a matter of time before the retailers and manufacturers got together to offer actual graphics card deals. And today there are two RTX 3070 Ti pixel pushers on offer at Newegg with a $100 discount.
With GPU stock increasing we've moved past the point where it didn't matter how much you charged for a card, it would still get snapped up by an enthusiastic gamer.
