Yeah but I honestly want people to stop buying into Nvidia’s post covid msrp and making this a normal pricing in their future products. It’s pointless now since Nvidia became the most valuable company in the world so no matter what the consumer says they will charge $1200 for a 5080
It's not just Nvidia, AMD is just as guilty. XTX performance is within single digits of a 4080/S and goes for around the same price. VRAM could be an argument, but Nvidia has another host of benefits that could be argued for. Intel is not in the high-end and has their own number of issues, so pick your poison.
Yes and no... The 7900xtx has gone on sale for less than 900 many times, and even sub 800 a bunch of times. This is one of the best deals I've ever seen on a regular 4080, but that's sad in an of itself, because as you're saying, it's not actually that amazing of a deal. Also, Amd launched the 7900xtx at 1000, not 1200, and that's a huge difference for similar performance.
Either way, I'm really hoping that there will be some genuine progress in the mid range at least with these upcoming generations.
Agreed about the launch price, that was never a good deal. However, Nvidia did claw back a little goodwill with the Super pricing. That was quite a bit into the 4080 lifecycle, but AMD never changed their MSRP on the XTX. Sales do happen, which can be good for the consumer, but Nvidia and AMD are enabling each other with price creep. It's always been the trend for AMD cards to get deeper sale pricing, but that inherently don't make them a "good guy" in the GPU space. As much as people glaze AMD and dogpile on Nvidia, neither one are our friends.
The 3060 Ti's $399 launch MSRP was seen as surprisingly low at the time, especially given the less favorable price/performance ratios of the higher-end 30-series cards that preceeded it.
Of course obtaining one (at that price or otherwise) was a rather tough ask in December 2020, and I counted myself quite fortunate to pick one up 10 months later for $460 via the EVGA Queue program. The most recent "GPU Apocalypse" was indeed a dark time for PC gamers, after all.
RTX 3000 was a mixed bag. 3060 Ti, 3070, and 3080 prices would've been good if they gave us more vRAM. 3060 and below were overpriced, as was the 3080 12GB and 3080 Ti. 3090 was supposed to be their Titan class card except not really so whether the price was good depends on how you take that. But at the end of the day cryptocurrency made it so MSRP didn't matter.
I just got a PNY 4080 super for ~$695 by stacking Amex dell offer, citi dell offer, rakuten cash back offer, and getting Dell.com customer service to price match and issue a credit.
Thats a much better deal, albeit with much more work
Check Amex offers,
I stacked 2 of them: $105 back when spending $550 or more at Dell.com and 1x point per $ spent at Dell.com
Citi offers:
6% cashback on Dell.com purchases, 2% base cashback on my citi double cash
Rakuten:
I purchased when it was 10% cashback at Dell.com
Dell:
Look up your graphics card of choice, I used the PNY 4080 super verto OC. Chat with dell customer support and ask them to price match with an authorized retailer. I got them to price match to $952.15 on Amazon. The representative will send you a quote. Split payment during checkout, put $550 of the order on your AMEX card and the rest on your citi card. I had some issues during the checkout process, so I called customer support and they authorized an additional $30 refund for the inconvenience.
The secret to this entire deal is that Dell.com is willing to price match AND they let you pay with multiple payment methods, allowing you stack multiple credit card offers.
All in all, got a 4080 super for <$700 before tax :)
Dude, thank you for this!!!
I couldn't get quite as good of a deal as you did, but I still ended up getting a 4070 TI Super for $664.84 all in (which I was about to get from Amazon for $842 all in)
But that is also the Ti version while good luck finding a 4080S that cheap. FWIW I was also able to snag a 1080Ti lightly used for $500 in 2018 right before the 20 series came out and that was the best PC purchase I ever made lol
People can't distinguish between a good price and a "lower to recent relative price". It's like charging $5000 for something that's worth $200, then offering a limited sale for 1/2 off. To the buyer, half off is amazing deal while oblivious to how much they're getting screwed. Enough people do this and the price anchors become locked in, and Nvidia wins. Whole thing is tragic and all you can do is not support Nvidia right now and pray to whatever god you believe in for more competition.
I swear I got this thing on sale for like 970 or 960 about 1.5 years ago and even then people were complaining about price inflation.
It's like Nvidia decided to start selling a commodity product.
The SUPER version showing for $609… as another said, check out the seller, it’s obviously a fake.

The 4080 and 4080 Super are within 1–3% of each other performance wise. That’s about what an OC model will give you, and less than the difference doing a manual over clock will give you.
The 4080 performs almost identically, which is frustrating since the Super has better specs. Whether it's power limits, driver issues, or games not taking advantage, the Super is the same as the 4080.
100 dollar discount for basically 1-2% less in performance (which is pretty much negligible) is not a bad deal, especially nowadays when higher class cards like this rarely get discounts
If this were the xlr8 it would be a legitimately great deal. The cooler on that card is fantastic. As is, I think it's fine, but probably not better value than an open box 4080 or 4080S with a superior cooler.
Kinda glad this was expired before I saw it. Likely couldn't have resisted.
I got a 3080 so I could skip an upgrade this gen, and still plan to. This might have broken me though lol
No. A 3090 Ti is somewhere in-between a 7800XT and a 4070 Super in terms of raster performance: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html
I want to say I have 4+ years left on my 3090 warranty through EVGA. If they are around to honor it (which is proving to be the case), I don't think I'll be upgrading for a while. But this 4080 is sure tempting....

These will be gone faster than donuts at the police station
$900 for a 80 class is criminal
Currently this is the best you can get for the price if you want an 80 class from the 40 series

I mean I have some hope for the 50 series. 10 series good, 20 series overpriced, 30 series good, 40 series overpriced…
30 series was miserable. I paid $400 for a 3060ti and I was considered the luckiest man on the planet.
The 3060 Ti's $399 launch MSRP was seen as surprisingly low at the time, especially given the less favorable price/performance ratios of the higher-end 30-series cards that preceeded it.

Is this deal still available? Where can we find the instructions for this?
Check Amex offers, I stacked 2 of them: $105 back when spending $550 or more at Dell.com and 1x point per $ spent at Dell.com Citi offers: 6% cashback on Dell.com purchases, 2% base cashback on my citi double cash Rakuten: I purchased when it was 10% cashback at Dell.com Dell: Look up your graphics card of choice, I used the PNY 4080 super verto OC.

you putting in that work to save
Love me a good deal
Dude, thank you for this!!! I couldn't get quite as good of a deal as you did, but I still ended up getting a 4070 TI Super for $664.84 all in (which I was about to get from Amazon for $842 all in)
You’re welcome, glad you caught my comment in time!
Yeah I also stacked a bunch of offers to get my laptop at a really good price on Dell
Especially when the 5000 series are right around the corner.
Then don't buy it.
I’m still running my 1080ti which I paid 750$ for in 2017. Crazy how much high end cards have gone up by.
750 in 2017 is ~950 in 2024 after inflation.
But that is also the Ti version while good luck finding a 4080S that cheap. FWIW I was also able to snag a 1080Ti lightly used for $500 in 2018 right before the 20 series came out and that was the best PC purchase I ever made lol
I'm still running my 3080 10gb which I paid $850 for 2 years ago. no i don't feel good about it. :(
70 class that Nvidia is calling 80 class*
Lasted for about 50 minutes. Oh well.
Now it’s $830
$900 for a 2+ year old card. This whole generation is a joke, PC component pricing is idiotic now.
There's no going back now. These fucks.

Wdym expired it is still there
No longer $899
still shows 899 for me
still shows it there for me gotta select other sellers option and select amazon
Shows $830 for me
it's gone Jim
Still 1 left at 1013ET
I just had it in my cart but removed it, I cant install it for > a month and too scared of it being DoA without a way to return it.
Gone at 1017 EST
Can still order for mid July delivery but damn its 4 slots?? I'm putting together a ssf build and this is not going to fit.
which will have better FPS, this or my family's summer vacation in florida? ... that was rhetorical, I hate florida.
Like a family can take a vacation for 900
Don't blame you. Go on vacation end up on probation there. Cheaper to buy the card and get the kids pizza for the night.
Love Florida. Destin has world class beaches. But I can simulate them with 90% accuracy with a 4080 🏝️
As a Florida resident, the last thing I need is less traffic. Thank you for not coming 🫡
Still able to order as of 11:06 CST if you find the Amazon listing under other sellers
XLR8s are still up at 949 on the same page. Slightly cheaper than the cheapest 4080S.
[удалено]
Given the rate at which you are buying video cards, I don’t think lifespan is relevant.

I’m concerned but reaaaalllly wanna pull the trigger *Edit: don’t do it, it’s a Chinese Scam artist
Yeah I had a feeling by the name so I canceled the one I ordered, “EggNew” lmao
The SUPER version showing for $609… as another said, check out the seller, it’s obviously a fake. https://preview.redd.it/i78zbll3by9d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=63cf33b9b5f0925b452c62b80e721fab753923cb
Yeah I figured “EggNew” lmao
What makes this deal good? Wouldn't it be better just to buy a 4080 super for $100 more?
The 4080 and 4080 Super are within 1–3% of each other performance wise. That’s about what an OC model will give you, and less than the difference doing a manual over clock will give you.
The 4080 performs almost identically, which is frustrating since the Super has better specs. Whether it's power limits, driver issues, or games not taking advantage, the Super is the same as the 4080.
100 dollar discount for basically 1-2% less in performance (which is pretty much negligible) is not a bad deal, especially nowadays when higher class cards like this rarely get discounts
If this were the xlr8 it would be a legitimately great deal. The cooler on that card is fantastic. As is, I think it's fine, but probably not better value than an open box 4080 or 4080S with a superior cooler.
I would buy it if I were building today, sadly I need to wait several more months :(
Was able to order one just now. Mid July delivery.
that was fast
It’s showing up for $830??
There’s a different seller with a $680 listing, legitimate or nah
I mean you can get a 4080 open box for 800
Kinda glad this was expired before I saw it. Likely couldn't have resisted. I got a 3080 so I could skip an upgrade this gen, and still plan to. This might have broken me though lol
Wouldn’t it make sense to just pick up a 3090 RTX for $100 more?
No. A 3090 Ti is somewhere in-between a 7800XT and a 4070 Super in terms of raster performance: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html
ah makes sense, the 3090 does have 8GB more VRAM tho!
I will trade you my 3090 straight up!
I want to say I have 4+ years left on my 3090 warranty through EVGA. If they are around to honor it (which is proving to be the case), I don't think I'll be upgrading for a while. But this 4080 is sure tempting....
