So thankful I have an Xbox series X to Keep me from upgrading. I'm aiming to upgrade in October so my GTX 970 can finally Rest In Peace
Funny as that's exactly where I'm at now, dual 970s, but that doesnt matter when the new games won't support the sli anymore. HUGE hit taken after that. I'm needing the update for ultra graphics again but I'm assuming everyone is hoping the prices will be msrp in another few months. Did I miss the big news to confirm this or is this just price trend?
How do we know the prices will fall in a few months?
Google GPU prices and read any article within the past couple of weeks. ASUS has already announced steep price cuts and others are following suit. Chip shortage is lessening along with removal of certain tariffs in addition to crypto not eating up all the cards. These will be MSRP soon.
For anyone buying, this is an excellent and efficient ~8" long card for 1080p. If your monitor is 1440p, you want the 3060 Ti version. And if you have 4K needs, you want a 3080 or better (because of the greater onboard memory). But if you go for a 3080, make sure you have room and power for it--the faster triple-fan cards are 3 to 4 inches longer and require stronger power supplies.
EVGA has a 3 year warranty, basically as good as it gets for this sort of hardware.
I have had this exact same card for last six months and also just purchased the identical looking 3060 ti. I have no complaints about the 3060 at 1440P/2K @ 144MHz . Was getting great frame rates on the games I play, mostly COD new and old.
Got a decent little overclock using MSI afterburner and got within about 18% of benchmarks of the 3060 ti out of the box. Overclocked the 3060 ti also and about 22% difference FWIW.

Totally right, and EVGA customer service is wonderful, they will cross ship cards under normal circumstances. You just need a credit card on file so they can charge until the refund.
I really can't say anything bad about their gpu's, psu's or customer service.
MSRP prices are coming in a few weeks or so. HOLD the line guys and don't give in to scalpers.
This is the MSRP pricing for this card. This is direct from EVGA, who has kept their prices pretty much since the beginning, even though other AIB makers added on additional margin. The Asus cars that I bought in Feb 2021 for $1099 still has a price of $1299, and that's AFTER Asus cut prices this month due to the tariffs ending.
Extremely wrong gamer-centric advice. Not everybody buys these things to live out violent fantasies. For content creators, this card will drive "4K needs" more than adequately, especially with its 12GB of VRAM. Buying a 3080 will make NO DIFFERENCE for content creators.
what about using DR resolve ? I think it will when you do fusion?

I know this is out of stock, but for anyone reading this - you can buy an evga GPU and if you don't like how it performs, they have a "Step Up" program where you can basically trade it in directly to EVGA for a nicer card and just pay the difference plus shipping
There has been a waiting list, but in my experience I waited about 2 months from when I applied for it.
Garbage price unless you cannot wait until prices become reasonable again. If the market wouldn't have been as absurd as it has been these should be going on sale for $300-330 all day given the mid-range (276mm2) die and memory bus (192-bit). Even still, for 15-20% more the 3060 Ti is WAY better--the 3070 not so.

Evga was selling these for $400 even in the middle of the shortage. I got one from them for $399.
