GeForce RTX 30 series video cards can now be had at MSRP, or in some rare cases, below MSRP. That's a far cry from last year, when people woud pay hundreds of dollars over MSRP for any of the RTX 30 series video cards. If you've been delaying your new gaming PC build because of the price gouging, you can finally go head and start that project of yours. Here are the best deals we've found on RTX 30 series GPUs from the powerful RTX 3090 Ti and RTX 3080 to the power efficient and budget friendly RTX 3050.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 GPU from $704
These GeForce RTX 3080 GPUs are the least expensive RTX 3080 variants on Amazon with a starting price of $704. The RTX 3080 really doesn't need any introduction. This is the de facto card to get if you plan to run current generation games at 4K, since it's up to 50% faster than the previous generation RTX 2080 SUPER and doesn't command the exorbitant price of the RTX 3080 Ti or RTX 3090 (both of which are a mere 3%-5% faster in real world performance). It has an HDMI 2.1 port for passing through 4K @ 120Hz, which it has the power to drive even with resource hungry games like Elden Ring.
Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3090 Ti GPU for $999.99
There's a big price drop on inarguably the most powerful consumer video card on the market right now. The Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3090 Ti GPU, which launched earlier in the year with an eye watering MSRP of $1999, has dropped a whopping $1000 today to $999.99. The RTX 3090 Ti is roughly 20%-25% faster than the RTX 3080 and about 10% faster than the RTX 3090 at 4K resolutions and beyond. At under 4K resolutions, this card would be completely overkill. For most people, saving $350 and going withe the RTX 3080 deal mentioned below would probably be the better proposition. But if you absolutely want the best of the best, you can't beat this price.
ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 3080 GPU $799
The ASUS ROG STRIX model is considered by many to be the very best RTX 3080 variant on the market. It's usually hundreds of dollars more than the 3080 FE price. That's in large part because of the incredible cooling potential of the massive 3-slot heatsink combined with the quietest triple fan cooling you'll find on any RTX 3080. Despite the low noise levels, the ROG STRIX offers a significantly OC'ed 1890-1935MHz boost clock compared to the stock 1710MHz boost on the 3080 FE.
More RTX 30 Series Video Cards in Stock on Amazon
For the first time since the RTX 30 series launch, Amazon has a decent supply of select RTX 30 series video cards available. Mind you most cards are still priced over MSRP, but they aren't as exorbitant as they used to be, and most 3rd party cards have factory overclocks and rugged aftermarket cooling solutions to sweeten the deal. We've only highlighted video cards that are shipped and sold from Amazon directly; dealing with an unauthorized 3rd party marketplace vendor will in many cases void your video card warranty.
EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 GPU for $979.99
This is the first time we've seen the RTX 3090 sell for under $1000 on Amazon. This is one of the fastest cards out there, but if you're going to use this in a gaming rig, you'll want a 4K monitor to really benefit from its power. At 4K resolutions, it performs about 15%-20% better than an RTX 3080. This GPU isn't necessarily intended for gaming though; the RTX 3090 is an outstanding graphics workstation GPU not because of its processing power (which it has in spades), but because of the massive 24GB of GDDR6X RAM.
