I feel bad for the people who didn't vote for Trump. The rest of America will just have to deal. This is a logical conclusion to electing a white nationalist who doesn't understand the concept of trade being mutually beneficial.

GPUs and Motherboards get price hikes in the US as tariff exemption expires (up to $260 more)
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
This is insane. My friend was trying to build a PC and gave up after not being able to find a 3080. He's definitely going to check out after this.
yup, same; as long as I can play DMC5 at 1080p60, I'm good...
Lol your 2080 should be fine for a while. Or were you being sarcastic?
I dont know if it is manufactured goods from china, foreign companies or whatever, someone speculated above his economy team still doesnt know (which I doubt they wouldnt at this point, unless they have to react to drastic circumstances or something).
We should be exempt but some companies (not all) tie the Canadian MSRP to the US.
Microsoft doesn't seem to but Sony does, for example.
I fuckin lucked out.
Really shitty for other consumers.
Lets be practical you can want a good ryzen 5XXX or ampere or 6xxx chips don't mean you gettin em. Selling off before you're secured is always bad.

Not really. I know I'm fine with a 2080 right now, but what I meant was that I'll use this 2080 for how many years that I can until it can no longer handle new titles and then quit PC, I ain't upgrading or building a new PC with those prices. Perhaps I'll go console only, but this tariff might affect consoles too, which means I'm fucked.
OP
OP
Did someone swap the Canadian prices in for the U.S. prices?
Also, OH GOD WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE CANADIAN PRICES.

Yeah, me too
I didn't need to upgrade this year anyway!
I wonder if this will also affect consoles, in turn
seriously lol. was hoping to finally get a new pc after like 7 years but i guess im waiting another year until them 3080 prices go down a tad
People aren't exploiting GPUs as long-term investments.
Well, except for the mining fad in 2017 lol
Does anyone have a good economy focused article on how a country would go about being tough on China (which I think is desirable) without electronics prices surging? Everything I've read points to tariffs being bad economic policy, but what alternatives are there?
What a value when this card came out. Had one of these for quite a while.
working for a reseller I can confirm it's tariffs. A lot of items are affected across the board.
Even though we have nothing to do with these tariffs....there's about a 99% chance prices will go up in tandem.
Yay?
Well I suppose waiting for Zen 3 Threadripper, may have backfired on me. That said, if the rumors of a 16-core model are true, that should hopefully be cheaper than the 24-core 3960X. I don't want the cores, just the PCIe lanes.
U.S. Companies Face China Tariffs as Exclusions Expire (Published 2020)
Many American companies saw their exemptions from President Trump’s China tariffs expire at midnight on Thursday.www.nytimes.com
It's from tariffs. Companies like EVGA haven't updated their prices yet, but they will have to follow suit (or eat the losses).
Got it - didn't mean to seem conspiratorial or anything. That really sucks though! I love my PC but it's going be really hard to justify continuing to upgrade it if prices don't come down, they're just silly.
True for most AAA stuff I imagine nowadays but it should still play a lot of games quite good. I had a 1050ti not too long ago and could play rainbow six siege at over 60fps @ 1080p just fine and the 970 should do better than that. Also got over 100fps in Overwatch and CSGO(obviously lol).
idk about Nvidia but there were rumors that the $700 price tag was basically break even for AIBs. The base models(700-730ish) have been hardest to find as well so that lines up
This. Made in taiwan
Depends on how the US treats content percentages. Based on the old North American Free Trade agreement, there was a complex rules of origin provision.
tldr; if a product is 90% taiwan content and 10% China, it doesn't automatically become labelled "made in china", nor is it treated as such.
3000 series GPU's from EVGA for example, I am guessing memory chips comes from Korea, GPU die from Taiwan, board from
China, fans from China, heatsink from China, assembled in Taiwan, CS from USA based employees
my own GPU says made in Taiwan so that's how my country treats it
not for games, for rendering. can't take advantage of stuff like Optix in blender or RT in Unreal. I really puts a damper in some of the projects I've been wanting to do for the year
Haha ouch. I just got a 3060 TI Strix in this week. I felt a little ashamed for paying $499 for a 3060 TI. At $599 it's just ridiculous.
