ASUS releases GeForce RTX 3090 (2400 USD) and 3070 (999 USD) fitted with EKWB water block
Asus has added two graphics cards under product codes RTX3090-24G-EK and RTX 3070-8G-EK to the stack or deck of cards, both with preinstalled EK Water Blocks water blocks.
We already reported this earlier on in the global press release, however they are now getting available it seems (if you can find and grab one that is). The water block is a full-cover type that cools the GPU, memory, and power supply circuit together, and the nickel-plated copper base improves thermal conductivity. In addition, the backside is equipped with an aluminum backplate that protects the board and is equipped with an illumination function compatible with AURA Sync.
The specifications of "RTX 3090-24G-EK" equipped with GeForce RTX 3090 are GDDR6X 24GB video with core boost clock of 1,695MHz (Gaming Mode) / 1,725MHz (OC Mode), memory speed of 19.5Gbps, memory bus width of 384bit. Equipped with memory. The Output interface is HDMI2.1 x 1, DisplayPort1.4ax3, the auxiliary power connector is 8pinx2, external dimensions are length 216 mm, width 136.2 mm, thickness 19.8 mm, weight 881 g
The specifications of " RTX 3070-8G-EK" equipped with GeForce RTX 3070 are core boost clock 1,725MHz (Gaming Mode) / 1,755MHz (OC Mode), memory speed 14Gbps, memory bus width 256bit, GDDR6 8GB graphics memory. The output interface is HDMI2.1 x 1, DisplayPort1.4ax3, the auxiliary power connector is 12pinx1 (8pinx2 conversion adapter included), and the external dimensions are 209mm in length, 111.5mm in width, 21.5mm in thickness, and 781g in weight.
The advantage here is that these cards have no warranty issues as the block comes factory installed. The 3090 would cost 2400 UER/USD :) and the 3070 is listed at 999 EUR/USD/ Well, luckily that's including tax.

You can't buy the right CPU at MSRP, you can't buy a decent GPU at a fair price either....I am riding this 1080ti EK-WB & 8700k to death and that will be IT.
Based on preliminary information which insiders are all saying, we're realistically looking at 2023 before things might get slightly better. But 2 years a long time, and projections may change, hopefully things get better before then. But personally if I had kids who were into gaming I'd just wait for my first chance to buy an XBSX and just get them its game pass and call it a day. PCs are out of the question for the foreseeable future.
Side note... Apple are one of the worst offenders as far as shitting on their customers goes. I wouldn't spend a cent on them even if I was using applications which have native ARM versions.

Interesting I have ordered a 3080 for myself in January .
I have 2 weeks ago purchased a 3070 ek asus for 900$ Canadian.
Not sure where those prices are coming from but they dont sound accurate.

I truly thought 1900 through EVGA after I received an email for my 3090 ftw 3 Ultra.
This pricing garbage as of late is simply disgusting!
