Despite the ongoing tech shortage, which has been crippling the industry pretty for the entirety of this GPU generation towards the latter parts of 2020, giants such asNvidiaand AMD have continued to put out new products. WithAMD announcing the RDNA 3 chip recently, the market is looking to move into the next era. However, there is still the matter of team green’s next beefy graphics card, which is still not anywhere to be seen, but there are some retailers in parts of Europe that have been listing what the potential cost of it will be once it’s released.
According to a report from Tom’s Hardware, The upcomingNvidiaRTX 3090 Ti has been spotted on the store of an Estonian retail outlet priced at €4,332.11 or just over $3,900 US at its cheapest. At the higher end of the pricing spectrum, it’s being shown as potentially selling for €4,577.40, or roughly $4,200 US. If true, then it looks as though the new card will be extremely expensive, with many buyers perhaps not keen to fork over that amount of money for, what would admittedly be, a very powerful piece of hardware, especially at this late stage of the current generation.

With the3090 Ti being spotted for $4,000 in Switzerland, this latest development shows that there is some consistency in how much it will cost to buy, which further suggests some truth to the leak. However, it should be mentioned that these are not from official sources, so readers should regard it with some degree of trepidation.
At the time of writing, no one is really certain when the card will be released. WithNvidia delaying the launch of the RTX 3090 Tilast month, there was still an expectation that the company would make some sort of announcement by now. With reviewers still not getting sent the GPU, it’s difficult to say for certain when it will be available, but with the prices now being spotted in Europe, it’s entirely possible that, if they are the real costs, then it could be coming out soon. Of course,Nvidiadoesn’t seem keen to say exactly when, but it was hoped that it would have launched by now.
With theNvidia 4000 series potentially arriving mid-2022, the company seems to be dragging its heels about the 3090 Ti, which will likely represent the final release for this current GPU era. However, with the price as it stands, based on leaked information, as well as the ongoing deficit, many may be wondering whether it will even be worth the wait in the end.
