Another 10GB RTX 3080 at Mwave. Of course, there was the currently expired 12GB PNY 3080 from BPC deal just about a week ago, and a couple other 10GB 3080s at $1069 (also expired).
To HODL or not to HODL. To which I imagine most people will say HODL given the decreasing prices.
But it's here…if you really need one now I guess.
On a side note, Mwave seems to have renamed their "Daily Deals" to "Wavey Deals" :/
The problem is that by then, this card will be older than Yoda.

distant and clouded the future is. my trusted 1080ti hold onto I will
a powerful ally 1080ti is. judge by GPU age you should not
$99 in 2030, keep HODLING you can do it.
I think that was pretty obvious, funnily enough in 10 years this will have less value, more about choosing where you are willing to compromise
I doubt in 10 years this GB card will be working. :D
50gb GDDR9X 7090ti here I come! Will probably come with its own 1000w PSU.
This card is not worth this price, but the 12gb 3080 for $1099 that's been coming up is worth jumping on now if you're chasing a card. Sure you can hold for another month to save maybe $100 or you can buy a 12gb 3080 now and actually enjoy some games rather than monitor GPU prices.
4090 MIGHT launch this year, but it will likely be $2000 USD MSRP + whatever the retailers mark up. I would not be shocked at all if it's $3000 AUD at launch. 4080 won't launch this year. Also scalpers are gonna be primed and ready to ruin everyone's day.
so $1000 to have a card now and not get caught up in all the latest and greatest GPU buying BS is well worth it. Because a lot of the people holding now waiting for the 40 series are going to look at 4090 launch prices, they're gonna go F that and run straight to the 30 series.
4090 will launch this year but very much doubt it will be $2000 USD.
The peak of last gen doesn't follow the price of the next gen as we saw with the 2000 > 3000 series. Nvidia, AMD and AIB's already have a good system going where they do launch with barely any stock at a reasonable price, then wait for prices to rise due to the lack of stock. Prices naturally go up, paying more is normalised and consumers don't know who to blame. This worked for 2000 and 3000 series, pattern with 3000 series just got on steroids due to crypto.
Passed on the 2000 series
Passed on the 3000 series
Will pass on the 4000 series if they try to rob people
That would of been 3 successful sales if they priced there cards reasonably im 1 little fish in the ocean but i guarantee you there's 100,000's of people who also refuse to be blatantly robbed
@User123321: That's your choice, but there seems to be no shortage of consumers who accept that $500 flagships aren't coming back and while everyone is still making profits you will eventually upgrade or stop playing games long before this changes.
@Osiris: I thought flagships were when NVIDIA had a USD$1200 Titan Xp card out, for me thats more than enough money to spend on a GPU.
Now mid-range 3080 is (was) $2000+ and now probably about $1500 (high end 3080 or cheap 3080 ti)…
I just want it to go back to the old days. Surely you should be able to be top of the line 4000 series Nvidia EVGA Kingpin or similar for USD$1200 :)
@Osiris: People said that about the 2/3 series too yet here i am with a 1080ti running everything fine even if in the end i have to bite the bullet and upgrade i can easily get a better card than the 1080ti for a minor price second hand e.g going to a 3090ti or something later on for peanuts.
If people just keep paying ridiculous prices continously you'll soon be paying $5000 for the top end card
4090 is heavily rumoured to release in October. 7900 xt for November so 4090 will definitely have to be October to get out in front . I don't think it will be $2000. But somewhere in between 1500-2000. I'd guess $1,700. Still way to expensive, I also think the 4080 will release November-December to make the 7900 xt look less appealing. Guess we'll have to wait and see but I don't prices will be much more than they were last gen. Not so easy to get away with this time around
When EVGA 4090 Kingpin?
Yup this sounds like what the leather jacket will do.
HODL MAKE THEM BLEED GREEN !!!
sub $1k is probably the true "bargain" point for these. 6900 XT is still $999 and should be the choice for all but the nvidia fanboys.
ah yes absolutism, very productive, clearly all people not buying amd must be nvidia fanboy, definitely no other possible reasons
Oh and the one guy using davinci resolve and who wants smoother scrubbing on their timeline.
i have not been the only one to give reasons that are other than RT and DLSS
and also to be overcorrective here, its not just timeline, https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/DaVinci-Resolve-S… its basically every aspect of Davinci resolve, which is for more than just video editing
@xyron: No plan of buying a 3080 myself, just hate absolutism and also nvidia for their painful 3060ti prices
Machine Learning (especially on linux), AMD Support for it is not nearly as mature as NVIDIA. (NVIDIA gpus usually are a first class citizen while AMD gpus have to be hacked in)
AMD is literally not supported by the 3d rendering engine I've been using…
worshipping amd makes you look dumber fyi
Not worth. No point buying 10gb 3080 for the price you could’ve gotten a 12gb 3080
why would 3080 be paired with anything less than 12GB of VRAM is a mystery to me. these cards shouldn't even exist
laptop 3070 has 8gb. how desktop 3080 can have just 10 is beyond me
Same with the 3060
When the RTX 3080 Ti was released I thought that it deserved 16gb's on board, as it would compete with perfectly with AMDs 6900/6950 XT cards.
Always Nvidia always being tight fisted with ram to save a few $$$'s.
thanks for this advice, i will make sure i get a 12gig
you'd be insane to choose a 10gb 3080 over a 6900xt for less.
Better RT and Cuda cores is what makes people stay for non-gaming applications.
But even that is changing with HIP and faster Open GL just recently.
The next gen of AMD and Nvidia cards is going to be on Ray tracing front, as both their raster performances are already insane this Gen.
And the wattages will go up… XD
Holding for a 3080 12gb Asus TUF at 999 😂
6900 XT for $999 beats this. Not good deal at all. Also 10GB VRAM what a joke.
Ray tracing? Ai?
Its just a OzCurrently-lowest-price post not a bargain. In the last week having the 12gb model on sale plus the price trend just wait the week out or so for the 12gb to be back at the price or cheaper, or the 10gb to go the performance equivalent less.
Choices choices and more choices 👍😁
Who's HODLing for 3080 ti @ $500?
Jimmy!!!
Homer!
HODL
hold army
Terrible amount of V ram.
keep hodling imo. the more we hodl, the lower it will go
and lower should it go master Yoda said
"hard earned my dough was. hodl on to it I shall"
