$1350 for a Founders Edition 3090.
Went early to one of their big drops last summer, and had a 10% off coupon.

$1,013 for my EVGA 3080 last month. Just sold my 2080 Ti for $1,100 though so I guess technically it was -$83.
Main GPU: Asus 3080 Strix OC $800 (Micro Center)
Secondary: AMD Radeon RX 6800XT $650 (Reference/Direct)

Got my 3080 as part of a Newegg bundle and sold the PSU and my old GPU (which is now worth plenty, but whatever) to a friend, so essentially retail to slightly below
The bundle was around $932 before I sold the PSU (ended up being one of those exploding gigabyte ones but this was way before we knew that)
ended up being around $650 for a 3 slot gaming OC 3080

3060ti for $550 ($150 over MSRP). Got lucky and they had it available at microcenter on Saturday. They also had a 3080ti, but they wanted 1800 for it. :/
I bought a whole prebuilt from Microcenter instead of doing the build myself, so 1500, but I got a whole PC with a 5900x-rtx3070, 32GB of RAM and a 2TB SSD
My friend bought an Alienware PC with a 3080 and the motherboard in it actually exploded so hard it showed up in a Gamer's Nexus video

So Dell sent them a new Alienware with a new 3080 and didn't ask for the old one back. Now I have a 3080 but it has to toil away mining fake money for my friend as a rental fee
Hilariously Bad Alienware R10 Ryzen PC: $1800 Pre-Built Review
Dell has led the way in our latest prebuilt testing: The company has continually set new bars in prebuilt quality. For Dell, no bar is too low. The Alienware...

I managed to get 2 3080s for MSRP for my household at launch, mostly due to keeping my ear to the ground here and on Discord. I was very lucky.
$700 for a 3080 (Asus TUF)
When the launch first happened and everyone said "Just wait a bit til availability comes back" I ignored that advice, and setup the Nvidia Snatcher bot to ping my discord every time a card went live. Bought it from a newegg listing that popped up.

I had a massive stroke of luck while picking out parts for a build at MicroCenter. Rep that was helping me was just like, "I'll be right back, hold on a sec" and when he came back....3080Ti FTW at MSRP.
Last June too so not even that long after they released. Still hard to believe.

Msrp 3070 thanks to EVGA, a year later after launch.
sad state of affairs that this is considered a good deal.
