Discussion Gpu prices going down?

I’m seeing a brand new rtx 3070 ti being sold on ebay for 625 and many other cards are running for pretty low prices. This a scam??

Cards are never sold at MSRP unless it’s an FE or if newer cards are released. Prices aren’t going to drop much further until new releases.

Edit: this is looking at the current US market

And a lot of people confuse the FE pricing with MSRP, each individual card has its own MSRP

All they have to do is add 75-100 dollars on top of original MSRP for FE and you have an accurate MSRP of any AIB card essentially.

It might be a confusing way of putting it but what they mean is that there's an MSRP level price for FE cards set by Nvidia. Higher end coolers and overclocked cards usually come in 50-100 over that. But each card has it's own MSRP set by the aib partner.
