Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 3080 Ti will soon be releasing in the market, but many retailers have already listed the soon-to-be-released GPU in the market. The Ampere-based flagship GPU will debut in mid-May, but now the listing by many retailers shows what price we can expect from the graphics card.
MSI had earlier listed its GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Ventus 3X OC and it was i=even displayed by a Polish retailer, X-Kom. However, now the retailers based in Australia and New Zealand have also listed several Gigabyte and MSI RTX 3080 Ti custom models.
According to sources, the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti has an NDA till late May which suggests that the rumored launch date of the card which is the 26th of May is indeed accurate. A retailer states that they are expecting new stock around the 13th of May which is a few days before the unveiling of the card which is the 16th of May.
Coming to the pricing of the graphics card, the Australian retailer has the lowest prices and has listed the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Eagle and Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Vision OC graphics cards for NZD 1732.75 which rounds up to around $1350 US.
However, the second retailer in question lists the MSI GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Ventus 3X OC for NZD 2543 or $1800 US & the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Gaming OC for NZD 3152 or $2250 US.
But, if you are thinking that the cards are available for a cheap price then think again. Considering the growing demand for Nvidia GPUs and the ongoing supply shortage, these preliminary prices are expected to go sky high pretty soon.
