Want an Nvidia RTX 3080? They’re in stock at MSRP right now

EVGA has restocked several of its Nvidia RTX 30-series graphics cards for near list price, and you can buy them immediately. Following consistently inflated GPU prices, it seems the best graphics cards are finally back in stock — and at a price that gamers may be able to afford.

For nearly two years, EVGA has restricted its graphics cards to a queue system, forcing hopeful buyers to wait until their name comes up before purchasing a graphics card. The models in stock now are available for anyone to buy right away, no waiting required.

Here are the EVGA GPUs in stock at the time of writing:

  • RTX 3090 Ti FTW3 Ultra — $2,200
  • RTX 3090 Ti FTW3 — $2,150
  • RTX 3090 Ti FTW3 Black — $2,ooo
  • RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra — $1,700
  • RTX 3080 Ti FTW3 Ultra Hydro Copper — $1,530
  • RTX 3080 Ti FTW3 Ultra — $1,300
  • RTX 3080 Ti XC3 Ultra Hydro Copper — $1,430
  • RTX 3080 Ti XC3 Ultra Hybrid — $1,380
  • RTX 3080 Ti XC3 Ultra — $1,280
  • RTX 3080 12GB FTW3 Ultra Hydro Copper — $1,250
  • RTX 3080 12GB FTW3 Ultra Hybrid — $1,1200
  • RTX 3080 12GB XC3 Ultra Hydro Copper — $1,200
  • RTX 3080 12GB XC3 Ultra Hybrid — $1,300
  • RTX 3080 12GB XC3 Ultra — $980
  • RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra Hydro Copper Gaming — $920
  • RTX 3070 Ti FTW3 Ultra — $760
  • RTX 3050 XC — $300

These are some of the lowest GPU prices we’ve seen in months. The prices of graphics cards have been tumbling over the past few months, as cryptocurrency miners sell off old units and the supply chain begins to stabilize. EVGA is one of the first vendors to return to direct sales, and it’s offering solid discounts.

The RTX 3050, for example, is only $50 above its list price. The 12GB RTX 3080 — which we said was a bad deal in our review — is selling for below its list price. If you’ve been eagerly waiting to pick up a new graphics card, now is the time. EVGA isn’t alone here, either. Last month, Asus announced it would cut the prices of Nvidia graphics cards as of April 1.

The GPU shortage has pushed the prices of graphics cards extremely high, with some cards selling for thousands of dollars over the course of 2021. Prices have been dropping over the past several months, but we’ve only seen cards near list price over the past few weeks. Hopefully, by the time summer rolls around, graphics cards will regularly sell near list price.

EVGA’s offerings are enticing, but it’s important to note the lack of lower-end options in Nvidia’s RTX 30-series lineup. Those looking for a flagship card are spoiled with options, though. EVGA has several models of the RTX 3080 Ti, for example, from the liquid-cooled RTX 3080 Ti XC3 Ultra Hydro Copper to the RGB-ridden RTX 3080 Ti FTW3 Ultra.

We’ve confirmed that the cards listed above are in stock at the time of publication, though we suspect that will change. Although GPUs aren’t as hard to get as they once were, there’s a good chance some of the cards above will sell out.

Nvidia is now worth almost as much as Amazon, and that puts gamers in a tough spot
Nvidia CEO showing the RTX 4060 Ti at Computex 2023.

Nvidia is now one of only six companies worth more than $1 trillion. It joins the list among Apple, Microsoft, Saudi Aramco, Alphabet, and Amazon, marking a significant milestone as Nvidia rides a wave of generative AI brought on by ChatGPT.

The company's stock soared following its Computex 2023 keynote, where Nvidia announced a new AI super computer called DGX GH200, along with Nvidia ACE, which is a tool that enables generative AI in game development. By contrast, the company's recently-launched RTX 4060 Ti GPU was merely a footnote in the two-hour presentation focused almost exclusively on AI.

Asus is releasing an RTX 4060 as big as the RTX 4090
Asus RTX 4090 ROG Strix plugged into a motherboard.

Asus is taking advantage of its ROG Strix cooler design for RTX 40-series graphics cards, all the way down to the measly RTX 4060. Asus is turning what should be a compact, two-slot GPU into a 3.1-slot behemoth, matching the size of its already massive RTX 4090 Strix model.

In fairness to Asus, the RTX 4060 model is slightly smaller: 3.1 slots compared to 3.5 slots on the RTX 4090 version. Regardless, that's a massive cooler for a relatively tame graphics card. This isn't the recently released RTX 4060 Ti -- though that one is getting the triple-slot treatment as well -- but the upcoming RTX 4060, which is slated to launch in July.

Why the Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti simply isn’t enough for 2023
Logo on the RTX 4060 Ti graphics card.

The RTX 4060 Ti isn't one of the best graphics cards you can buy. It's hard to even call it a good graphics card, with reports suggesting that there has been "zero" interest in Nvidia's latest GPU. I've tested the card, and I was going to review it, but this is a GPU that challenges the status quo.

If you visit several sites that review graphics cards, you'll find that scores are all over the place. Some are praising the card for solid power efficiency improvements and Nvidia's Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) at a lower price, while others are focusing on its limited VRAM and the implications that has in modern games.
