Rumor: GeForce RTX 3090 Now Would Cost 1399 USD
A few days ago we mentioned that the GeForce RTX 3090 would sit in a 2000 USD marker, well, a new day and a new price is now mentioned to be 1399 USD, that and a spec change.
The latest rumor comes from Wjm47196, who admittedly has a history of leaks/rumors that turned out to be true, he mentions that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 will have a starting price of $ 1,399. This is $ 200 more than the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, which was priced at $ 1,199 for the Founders Edition. You read it right, starting price.
Historically NVIDIA has had a price level that differs from the AIB partners, though, so currently, I am thinking in the lines of 1500 USD. If so, the price of the Founders Edition would have a ~25% increase over Turing. The main reason for the price increase could be associated with the massive amounts of memory that the RTX 3090 incorporates. While the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti has 11GB of GDDR6, the GeForce RTX 3090 is expected to boast 24GB .(again a rumor). The GeForce RTX 3090 will be the flagship, but if all this is correct, you can expect custom AIB models to cost more than $ 1,500.
I'm still at a loss on the memory configuration, 24GB adds to the bill of cost, while we see little benefit? I mean 12 Gb would make more sense here.

The 3080 is supposedly $799 and 3070 = $499. If rumors from same source are accurate.

Thank you nVidia you can still keep them for yourself for this money.


I still believe in that 3090 would be the one that replaces Titan cards and there will be the cheaper Ti for the gamers who actually did not win the lottery or own an oil company...
I think it would have been better marketing move for NV to call the 3090 a Titan Gaming or something. Because there will definitely be a card down the road to fill the gap between that and the 3080. That gap is too big for them not to do something about (either 3080ti or 3080 Super).

I believe in that you are right.
At this point these leaks are based on some chitchat nothing more or less.
We will have a better picture on 1st of September I hope.
But still it feels like this generation will cost even more than Turing no matter what. Not to say that Turing prices were already crazy high. And this is why many of gamers kept their Pascal cards until now.
But one day even those users would like to do upgrade, they cannot skip every generation of new cards.
I can see many go for new consoles and say goodbye to PC gaming.

25% over the 2080Ti across the board including Ray Tracing? If so that means 78T (RTX2080Ti) + 25% = 98T Ray Ops (rounded up).
Microsoft's slide yesterday about the X series APU shows 4T Ray OPS per CU. So 52 * 4 = 208T Ray Ops for the console!
Something doesn't add up.
