The great video card dump of 2020 has begun!!!

I think that's a unique 1-off situation or a very uninformed seller. I've seen brand new EVGA RTX 2080 Ti FTW3 Hybrids go for over $1000 recently. Used ones are going for $600~$700 for the past few weeks. How do I know? Because I've been watching all the FTW3 Hybrids on Ebay for weeks and just bought a 2nd one now for around $670 with some fierce bidding competition (has the original box/packaging/accessories, usually just the cards only go for the low $600 mark). I bought a 2nd one for SLI because I already know I probably won't get a Hybrid 3090 until the end of the year if I'm lucky and I just simply couldn't wait anymore. I'll upgrade to 1 or 2 RTX 3090's when I don't have to sit around and spam F5 all day.
My sub-$500 alert gets triggered 2 or 3 times per day and I only scan for EVGA cards.

I could see that happening for a pretty basic EVGA 2080Ti. I'm assuming AIO's add a bit to the price and so does being one of the top models in the lineup such as the FTW3.
If it makes you feel better I was told by reddit that kingpin seller was a scammer.

Lol I'm not surprised. Ebay is becoming the new Craigslist as of late. Been on the platform since 2002 with over 500 positive feedback. When I sell something, I explicitly say I won't ship international and will cancel bids for anyone with less than 5 feedback, but 90% of all my bids always meets those criteria. Such a headache.
 
I'm not watching that twit, you got to be kidding me he has the balls to post this now that we are this close to launch after the fire sales have already happened.
He’s been saying that for weeks, though...

Is this a follow up video in which he urged people to wait on selling their cards? If not his motivation for just now making this video is suspect. If he felt it needed to be said he should have made it almost two weeks ago when the main damage was done. The toothpaste is already out the tube.
 
I'm increasingly glad I made the decision y'all helped me make - it's removed the stress/anxiety from trying to snag one on Thursday.
 
The 2070 Super I bought in May, if 2080ti's are going down to that $500 +/- $100 mark, means I might be able to pick up another 2070 Super on the cheap! I am excited! Means I can get good performance on the cheap for some of my other franken builds! Thanks nvidia!

Oh yah. The performance of the 2XXX series didnt suddenly get any worse. The prices just fell out on them. Literally this is a buyers market now especially on the used end of things. Things are still a bit volatile in terms of prices, but by the start of 2021 I think anyone that wants a good video card is going to be able to afford something that can actually be used for good gaming.

Prices on 2 series cards still seem really high for new cards.
 
You won't see a price drop on 20 series cards until the stock of 30 series card has stabilized.

It seems quite unfair for 2080 user with this 3070/3080 launching.

If it is proven 3070 beat 2080ti in all aspect, prices for used 2080Ti will be below 3070, which goes around US$970 new here.

Agreed with Mylex , however people with money saving in their mind will sell their previous card to save from price drop when it already available widely.

I'm thinking that Nvidia trying to get their income sales hike this year due to current condition by publishing such drastic leap in their lineup. But with that in mind,that means, I believe, even now, Nvidia already able to create cards with 20.000 CUDA, they are just waiting the right time to launch it.

Btw, have this aggresive kind of new VGA launch by Nvidia happened previously? if it is, what happened to used card back then ?

Lol...what a timely video, 3 days before RTX 3000 launch. :rolleyes:


That was too painful to watch after 5min! Admitted he had a Reddit page and has no clue what is going on it. I guess putting his name on something means nothing to him, quality, truthfulness, pushing the users to improve . . . Then the touchy feel stuff about not feeling bad about your 2080Ti worth. . . What? A bunch of 8 year old's have 2080Ti's and they are crying over it? Who exactly was this video meant for? He actually has a large audience, is he effectively teaching and pushing their knowledge level above 3rd grade material? People mention click bait stuff, this is worst, patty cake making.
 
Anyone who panic sells the 2XXX series now deserves the hit they take.

We don't even know 3XXX availability and if there is a shortage you will find 2XXX creep back up in pricing. Look at the 1080ti card pricing. It initially slumped then shot back up when you couldn't find 2080 or 2080 Ti cards.
 
3070 and 2080 ti will likely be a tie based on what I'm seeing for the 3080 given the memory and bandwidth advantages the 2080 ti will have. Even power draw may end up being similar since that is one thing that has not improved with Ampere performance/watt. My guess is 2080 Ti prices for decent cards with good quiet coolers end up in $500-650 range for quite while depending on 307/80 availability.
 
There was a post about some retail company flooding eBay with new retail 20 series cards today. The hired a liquidator to put them up. It was price ranged $230-$500. Each model had there own price. I'll try for a second to find it but if this doesn't get updated search here or reddit. Duh it was a couple posts up.
