Well, they were….
EVGA is clearly sitting on a stockpile of nearly unsalable RTX 3090Ti GPUs and wants them gone. Can’t imagine why…
Regardless, they are the first GPU maker to start dumping stock with the 3090Ti and probably not the last. Rumors persist that Nvidia over produced these expensive GPUs, and are now sitting on massive stock piles of what will be quickly obsolete silicon. Obsolete? We’re only a few months away from the newest GPU cycle beginning. Nvidia has over-ordered production for the next-gen, and FABs aren’t letting them out of it. AMD is breathing down Nvidia’s neck, which means they will be forced to launch instead of delaying to sell out existing inventory.
Is the 3090Ti worth $1,149? Unless you need 24GB of a VRAM, it’s really only about 15% faster than a RTX 3080, which is currently in the $700 range. For the high-end gamer that’s a hard pill to swallow when the latest CPUs need higher-end cooling, and DDR5 is still costing substantially more than DDR4.
