$1599 for 4090, $1199 for 4080 16GB, $899 for 4080 12GB (aka 4070). See Nvidia's News page for the announcement. Edit: Apologies, got the 4080 numbers wrong, accidentally used GBP, corrected above. For the curious, the 4080 16GB is £1269, the 4080 12GB is £949. Meanwhile, the 4090 is £1679.

  Why do you assume those will be cheap?

    During the shortage, AMD kept their reference units at MSRP (I was able to pick up a 6800 XT at $649 through sheer luck when others I knew were spending upwards of $1200 on GPUs). With supply loosening up, I expect AMD will continue to play the good guy to steal market share and keep prices sane in comparison to Nvidia's play.

      NVIDIA kept founders edition cards at MSRP too. what implication are you trying to draw from that as far as whether MSRP is good or not?

        You could buy GPUs directly from AMD, which also had measures in place to ensure no scalpers had the upper hand. This would happen at a certain time of a certain day almost every week, so you could get one if you were patient enough. Meanwhile NVIDIA stopped production pre-holiday season last year in an attempt to bolster their company value to 1 trillion dollars. Quite a risky play that didn't pay off [1].

        AMD outsources it to DigitalRiver, NVIDIA has done that in the past but this time they outsourced to BestBuy (with contractual requirements to sell at MSRP). Both BestBuy and AMD take some nominal measures against bots but it's always been a problem for both sites. > Meanwhile NVIDIA stopped production pre-holiday season last year in an attempt to bolster their company value to 1 trillion dollars.

    Not the person you responded to, but rumors, and also, none of AMD's board partners have come out and said they are gonna stop making AMD boards, especially none of the AMD exclusive board partners like EVGA did last week.

    Because the demand for AMD graphics cards has never been all that great. AMD cards languished on the shelves when there was no RTX card to be found. I mean the RX 6650 XT can be found for the price of an RTX 3050. They have been that price for a bit now. If price to performance were a thought to the majority of people buying cards, there would be no way that would be the case. Obviously, gaming performance is not the only consideration. I've been wanting a new graphics card for some time now. I won't pay the Nvidia/miner tax and AMD does not provide one with easy machine learning access.
