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.

Makes perfect sense if they are going to market it as the first 8k capable gaming card

This gen there is new Segment announced all of sudden, its called 3090... for me, this was already a major red flag. Any change this company does, is to milk you even more, and many of you will just say yes to it (aka the ppl who say they have few Ks ready for card what ever the price etc)
There's literally changes all the time
x750
x850
x900
x950
GX2
GT
GTX
Ultra
GS
Ti
RTX
MX
LE
XT(Yes, nvidia has used XT, not just AMD)
GTO
SE
Super
Among many others
They are always changing what they name their cards, it's nothing new, to be alarmed by anything makes zero sense.
On this note as well: People expecting a x900 card to be a dual card because "it always has been before", i give you:
5900
5950
7900 (non-GX2)
7950 (non-GX2)
It's a more recent thing that x900 or x90 were designated dual-GPU cards, and can change at any time, which is why this is related to the above message as well.

Can't wait for the people who will inevitably call this pricing "reasonable" and "following inflation".

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 ...
Well the rumor according to chiphell chatter was supposedly that Jensen Huang had set these prices himself (incl for the 3080, 3070). But yeah, anyone can pull numbers out their a$$, so I guess they had to inject a bit of 'legitamcy' by saying JHH was the one.
