VERY solid deal on a highly desirable card. Code VGAPCJP974. Ends Midnight Pacific time.

There was a similar sale on EVGA direct about 10 days ago. Looks like this is the beginning of sales leading up to the next gen of cards. I highly doubt this card will ever sell for much less than $1100, it will be sold out before then.

I have a feeling these new cards will be price appropriately to their performance. 3080 ti will be $1.5k probably. AMD need to step up their game.

Any reference air cooled 3080 is not going to touch this 2080 Ti FTW3 Hybrid. And they will likely cost at least $899. And they will be unproven.
But hey, I also heard that the new cards will be 3 times more powerful, cost $499 and be delivered by Elvis riding a unicorn.

I'm not the only one who thinks this is a crap deal. Don't be blinded because it's the fastest thing out there right now. The 10 series wasn't that much faster then the 9 series. the 20 series got a tiny bump and RT. The 30 series is going to be the upgrade we all wanted a couple years ago. The 20 series was really a disappointment, unless you bought it for RT. I'm still running an RX580, waiting for a giant leap in performance, for a REASONABLE price. This ain't it.

Why is it that a 18 month old 14nm 9900K is directly comparable to a 8 month old 7nm 3900X in performance and power consumption, when you actually dig into the figures? Why does the 9900K have far more headroom?
The RX580 is a potato, I'm sure you'll be very happy with a 3070 for $650, and it might even be 5% faster than a $650 2080S.
Word on the street is that 2080 Ti's are out of stock at EVGA and not going to be restocked for several months, if ever. Various models are in stock at vendors but they are not on sale anymore. All the desirable cards will go EOL selling at MSRP, after nearly 2 years.
No outlook on the 3080 Ti.

all the more reason not buy this over priced trash
The lower end cards sold by Nvidia are the ones that got price cuts. They have also created model number confusion so as uneducated consumers that don't know enough PC tech will buy a GTX card over a Radeon in the mass market segment.
The new Ampere cards will be great if you're going for ones closer to the AMD performance line. But don't expect to see 3060 cards that match an RTX 2080 to be priced like a 2060 for $300. New Nvidia GPUs in the higher end are priced as additions to existing Nvidia cards, not to replace them. Lower end GPUs are priced lower in order to devalue AMD cards.

In all likelihood there will be a Reference RTX 3080 for $899 that is about as powerful as a 2080 Ti A-chip (Founders) card.
RTX 3070 Ref for $699, about as powerful as a 2080 Super.
RTX 3060 Ref for $499, about as powerful as a 2070 Super.
The 3080 Ti could go either way, full chip for $1499 or cut down chip for less, depending on their plans for Titan and workstation cards.
Regardless, there isn't going to be more than a very small incremental improvement in price per performance in the commodity GPU's at $700 or below.
trust me i am not coveting a gen1 rtx card at over a thousand dollars.
