Getting a GPU in stock has been a pain in the butt for a long time since the launch of these RTX 30-series and RX 6000 series GPUs. However, the more painful thing was to get in hand an NVIDIA Founders Edition GPU which costs really less when you compare it with the custom OEM variants.
The only retailer in India that supplied these cards is RPTech or Rashi Peripherals, but due to the huge demand its flash sales have crashed and a lot of customers including our team were really frustrated. It’s been over a year since we subscribed to both RTX 3080 and RTX 3070 Ti Founders Edition GPU but we got no reply on the sale.
However, recently, on the 24th of August we got a mail from RPTech that finally, they are reaching out to customers who had signed up for these RTX 3080 Founders Edition cards and they have a chance to purchase them at MSRPs.
This GPU is available for an MSRP of INR 66,000/- inclusive of GST to non-business gaming users only and to avail that we had to reply with our Billing Name, Address, Pin code and mobile number to get the GPU delivered.
Even though we know the launch of the next-gen RTX 40-series is just around the corner RPTech says, “Stock is limited and we will process the orders on a first come basis until stock last.” So, gamers who still have not got a good GPU yet can grab the RTX 3080 offer if you receive such mail or in a more practical sense if you have a budget to a mid-range GPU you should definitely wait for next-gen GPUs.
