September 5, 20223 yr Good price - but to anyone shopping for GPUs right now - keep in mind that the same ~ $700 will probably buy you a 4080 within the next 90 days, which is why the 3000 series cards are so heavily discounted right now.
September 7, 20223 yr If someone has the power supply to run that (700 watts?), then its a very good price. Series 4000 are going to require large PSUs, most likely. The 3900 is $840. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/msi-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3090-gaming-x-trio-24g-24gb-gddr6x-pci-express-4-0-graphics-card-black/6468863.p?skuId=6468863 Edited September 7, 20223 yr by Fielder 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

September 8, 20223 yr Author Will be interesting to see what prices do on the secondary market when Etherium changes to Proof of Stake predicted for 9/15/22.

September 8, 20223 yr Just now, pgde said: Will be interesting to see what prices do on the secondary market when Etherium changes to Proof of Stake predicted for 9/15/22. In theory they should come down further, right? But I've seen too many times that things don't always work as predicted and the etherium "merge" has been postponed so many times before, that it'll probably happen again. Plus I got my RTX 3080 at MSRP recently, so don't really care about lower prices or 4000 series anymore. Unless RTX 3090's go for +50% discount to MSRP i7-12700KF, RTX 3080 12GB, 64GB DDR4 3600MHz, ASUS PG348Q 34" ultra-wide monitor, Track IR 5, HP Reverb G2, Windows 10 64-bit
September 8, 20223 yr Author Rooitou -- that is the theory. Looks like it has already slipped to 9/19. See https://ethereum.org/en/upgrades/merge/#wen-merge.
