Daily Deals: Where to Buy RTX 3060, RTX 3070, and RTX 3080 GPU Video Cards
RTX 30 series video cards are steadily popping up on Amazon at prices below what you will currently find on eBay. They haven’t quite reached MSRP levels, but they’re still hundreds of dollars cheaper – and more readily available – than the inventory we’ve seen just last month. We listed all the least expensive RTX 3050, 3060, 3070, and 3080 models on Amazon as well as some of the more popular premium models like the ASUS STRIX ROG and TUF series graphics cards. We’ve also listed some good deals on RTX 30 series equipped prebuilt gaming PCs. They’ve gone down in price as well and are still a better overall value if you’re looking to build out an entirely new gaming rig.
EVGA’s Best RTX 3080 12GB GPU for Only $999.99
RTX 3070 Ti and RTX 3090 also available
This is EVGA’s best edition, the “FTW3 Ultra”, with a massive 3-slot triple fan cooler and an overclocked 1800MHz boost clock speed (compared to the 1710MHz boost clock speed on the 3080 FE) and an extra 2GB of VRAM (12GB vs 10GB on the 3080 FE). The 3080 is significantly more powerful than the previous generation’s champ: the 2080 SUPER. This is the card you want to get if you plan to game at 4K or 1440p with very high framerates. The RTX 3080 Ti and 3070 Ti models are also available at the lowest prices this year.
MSI GeForce RTX 3080 GPU for Only $969.99
The Gaming Z Trio card features a 2.5-slot triple fan cooling system and a metal bckplate. It also boasts a decent overclocked boost clock of 1830MHz compared to the 1710MHz on the reference 3080 FE. The Ventus 3X card also features a 2.5-slot triple fan cooling system and metal backplate. The “OC” is very nominal; a 1740MHz boost clock compared to 1710MHz on the reference 3080 FE.
MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ti GPU for Only $589.99
The RTX 3060 Ti is the best value you’ll get if you want to pick up a new RTX 30 series GPU. The RTX 3060 Ti performs on par with the previous generation’s champ, the RTX 2080 SUPER. It’s signficantly more powerful and less than $100 more than the next video card down, the RTX 3060. It’s also only slightly less powerful and almost $200 cheaper than the next card up, the RTX 3070. This card will easily handle games at up to 1440p, it’s more than good enough for VR gaming, and you’ll be able to push 144Hz or even 240Hz at 1080p.
More RTX 30 Series Video Cards in Stock on Amazon
For the first time since the RTX 30 series launch, Amazon has a decent supply of select RTX 30 series video cards available. Mind you most cards are still priced over MSRP, but they aren’t as exorbitant as they used to be, and most 3rd party cards have factory overclocks and rugged aftermarket cooling solutions to sweeten the deal. We’ve only highlighted video cards that are shipped and sold from Amazon directly; dealing with an unauthorized 3rd party marketplace vendor will in many cases void your video card warranty.
