We have confirmation from a channel insider that the price drop is happening right now, with new RTX 30-series pricing already reflected on retailer sites Overclockers UK and CCL, including the lauded high-end ASUS STRIX and incredibly reliable TUF models. with more retailers expected to follow suit very soon. Over in the US, prices have already dropped across a range of retailers, including at EVGA directly.
Best Buy has yet to discount any Founder’s Edition card other than the RTX 3090, which is now sitting at $1599.99, which is noticeably higher than the initial report suggested.
Nvidia has not officially announced a price drop as of the time of writing.
The reason why only the higher-end cards are being pushed out is likely due to make inventory space for the incoming Ada Lovelace 4000-series cards to come in and replace them, so if you were expecting a discount on an RTX 3060, you might have to wait just a little bit longer.
It’s likely that more retailers will follow suit in cutting RTX 30-series pricing in the wake of the ones that have already reflected this new pricing across the week. But, since there is no official confirmation from Nvidia’s side as of yet, we can’t really say that they have officially changed, despite having independent confirmation from an industry source.
