Nvidia’s rtx 3080 graphics card seemed to be the 4K gaming champ we’d been waiting for at $ 699. The card was virtually impossible to buy and scalpers wound up selling them for thousands on eBay.

The $ 1,499 rtx 3090 goes on sale at 6am PT / 9am et. It’s only 10-15 percent faster for 4K gaming than the far more affordable rtx 3080.

”do you have an 8K screen?”Yes yes yes, carry on.”Carry on,”says yes, but carry on.

Nvidia also says that you should n’t expect to find a lot of them in stock. The $ 800 premium is $ 800.

This will be in limited supply on launch day. We want to apologise upfront that the supply will be limited we know this is frustrating, and we’re working with our partners to increase the supply.

Newegg says it will manually review orders to prevent bots from snapping up cards. Newegg claims it has’instituted additional security measures’.
