Yeah looks like I won't be getting a new GPU anytime soon. Good thing I already ordered an ASUS x570 and a CPU

Yeah, this. Even these new MSRPs are quite a bit cheaper than what we have here, with 3080FE being US$900 from launch basically.First, I wanted to gloat over US finally getting high prices...
...but then I remembered my prices. In my country I can get exactly two cards right now:
MSI GeForce RTX 3080 GAMING X TRIO 10G 1230€ [$1510]
Asus GeForce RTX 3080 TUF-RTX3080-O10G-GAMING 1335€ [$1640]
So nevermind, US is still way cheaper.
Would this impact pre-built PCs and laptops that use these as components as well?
lol your being ridiculous. I have a 2060 and im even fine for 3-4 years.. I wish i had a 2080... dude unless you have to play all your PC games at 100% max options your fine until well into this new gen. I play Cyberpunk 2077 at max settings ( with some tweaks) and get 60 locked 99% and the game looks amazing. Not even using RTing.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.
It's certainly going to be interesting. I can see some of these builders try to shift to particular vendors (like EVGA which is manufactured mostly in Taiwan) to control tariff costs.Might not effect larger companies like Dell or HP, but ibuypower and others that basically put together custom PC's for you - yeah, this will effect them.
I didn't want to really go console but the Xbox series X is starting to look like a good option combined with game pass.
Interesting EVGA hasnt raised prices.
I wonder if this has more to do with what was reported last year about very tight margins to the point of absurdity and 3rd Party Vendors wanting more flexibility in pricing.
seems if anyone builds parts in china, they'll be hitDoes EVGA get any sort of special leeway since they're American?
I think EVGA is manufactured in Taiwan. You know, the "other" China. Hence it's not affected by tariffs.Does EVGA get any sort of special leeway since they're American?
This sucks. There's no upgrade path now even the GTX 10 series also had their prices hiked. The GTX 1060 6gb is $500, I bought mine for $284 and a Asus z170a MOBO I bought for $140 is $190 used.
The 5700xt a $400 is as low as $650 with several marked at $1000
The only GPU that didn't get a significant impact is the RX 580 which is now priced at $330

That would be hilarious.I hope my existing order on a white ROG strix doesn't have its price revised before it ships because of this. I'm just waiting for it to ship at this point but that could be a month from now.
etailer said:"Sorry. There is a problem with your order.
We need more money now. Please pay.
Thanks."
What, you don't think those will increase as well? Their components are still made in China and will be subject to the same tariffs.Getting a pre-built PC from custom manufacturers like iBuyPower is looking more and more attractive for 2021.

There will be some increase, however, some components are made in Taiwan, so they wouldn't be part of this tariff increase. That said, vendors might take the opportunity to increase prices and margins anyways.What, you don't think those will increase as well?

Glad I already got my 3080 for MSRP. This really sucks for people who are still trying to get one.
Makes me feel getting a 3080 strix at MSRP is even more lucky now
Me too, but I'm not sure I need the damn thing. The only way I was going to get one was if I didn't have to do backflips to get it and Best Buy made the process much smoother than getting an XSX or PS5.Fuck yes. Thanks to this thread I finally got a card. 3090 FE.
