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.

As much as I loathe the pricing, one cant ignore the fact that this is a lot more hardware than Turing. They cant manufacture this level of performance at the same cost it did Turing.

If the 3090 has the rumored 24GB of memory, then its more of a replacement for the Titan RTX, which makes the price actually go down in comparison.
The 2080 Ti might not have an immediate proper replacement - a 3080 Ti between the 3080 and the 3090 might come later. Remember older generations when they didn't launch with the Ti at the top right away?
The new GDDR6X memory is still going to be expensive, and 24GB of it to boot.
Would it feel better if they name it Titan instead of 3090, and change nothing else?

What's the next "rumor" ? $1199 ?
And since everybody seems to be spreading them, here's my set of "rumors" (which I pulled right out of my a... or maybe not)
This will be "21" series, not 30.
RTX Titan 21: $999 ( 24 GB ) - May be launched later
RTX 2190: $799 ( 20 GB ) - Same chip as Titan, some cut shaders
RTX 2180: $599 ( 16 GB ) - The usual "80" class chip, but now with double the memory
RTX 2170: $499 ( 14 GB ) - Cut "80" class chip
RTX 2160: $349 ( 8 GB ) - The "60" class chip now with 8 GB instead of 6
RTX 2150: $249 ( 7 GB ) - Cut "60" class chip
We'll see how close to (or far from) reality these will be ...

In my home country, back in the 20th century, there used to be these wise men, soothsayers, who would predict the weather of the upcoming summer well beforehand. They would say they based it on old knowledge of patterns, signs in the nature, behavior of animals (one guy was called the Frog Professor because he relied on frogs). These guys also had a reputation of being correct. It's because they worked for decades and everybody only remembered the few times they, amazingly, happened to be correct. All of these hardware spec leakers and rumour-mongers are exactly the same.

Still too much! Best case scenario is that it costs no more than 1000$ (preferably a little bit less than 2080Ti which was immensely overpriced).
