NVIDIA is planning to officially slash the MSRPs of its higher-tiered GeForce RTX 30 Series graphics cards this week.
This is according to Benchlife, which shared a report that teases lower MSRPs for the GeForce RTX 3090 and GeForce RTX 3080, including its more powerful Titanium variants.
The GeForce RTX 3090 Ti’s new price is reportedly $1,499, while the standard version of the graphics card is being lowered to $1,299.
Likewise, the MSRP of the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti will supposedly be reduced to $1,099, while the 12 GB version of the GeForce RTX 3080 is being set to $799. (NVIDIA never did give the latter an MSRP.)
The new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series MSRPs, per Benchlife:
| Model | Original MSRP | New MSRP (7/13) |
|---|---|---|
| GeForce RTX 3090 Ti | $1,999.00 | $1,499.00 |
| GeForce RTX 3090 | $1,499.00 | $1,299.00 |
| GeForce RTX 3080 Ti | $1,199.00 | $1,099.00 |
| GeForce RTX 3080 (12 GB) | – | $799.00 |
| GeForce RTX 3080 (10 GB) | $699.00 | – |
| GeForce RTX 3070 Ti | $599.00 | – |
| GeForce RTX 3070 | $499.00 | – |
| GeForce RTX 3060 Ti | $399.00 | – |
| GeForce RTX 3060 | $329.00 | – |
| GeForce RTX 3050 | $249.99 | – |
As pointed out by Benchlife, the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti Founders Edition is already available at a significant discount from Best Buy. The flagship graphics card is currently listed for $1,599.99, a $400 savings off of its $1,999.99 MSRP.
After BestBuy in the United States adjusted the price of the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti Founders Edition on July 12, Taiwan time, the market began to speculate that NVIDIA may adjust the MSRP (Manufacturer’s suggested retail price, suggested reference price) of the GeForce RTX 30 series in the near future, and we also Received new prices from foreign channels on the evening of July 13th.
Others have shared tweets that indicate the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti Founders Edition’s price cut is active in other regions.

NVIDIA hasn’t updated its store with any of the new alleged MSRPs yet, but listings from shops that include Newegg and EVGA suggest that official price cuts are probably happening.
Best Buy is even selling EVGA’s GeForce RTX 3090 Ti FTW3 ULTRA GAMING for $1,499.99 at the time of this posting, a price that’s even lower than the Founders Edition and one that matches Benchlife’s claims.
