pricing for Nvidia\u2019s powerful new GeForce RTX 30 series graphics cards has been revealed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/hardware\/365822-nvidia-launches-rtx-30-series-graphics-cards-pricing-and-specifications.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Launched earlier this week<\/strong><\/a>, Nvidia claims the Ampere-based cards offer up to 2x the performance and 1.9x the power efficiency of the previous-generation RTX 20 Series.<\/p>\n<p>While certain specifications had been leaked in reports before the unveiling, Nvidia had caught many by surprise with aggressive pricing, particularly for the RTX 3070 and RTX 3080 cards.<\/p>\n<p>The company provided the following recommended retail prices for the range:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>GeForce RTX 3070<\/strong> \u2013 $499 (R8,376)<\/li>\n<li><strong>GeForce RTX 3080<\/strong> \u2013 $699 (R11,735)<\/li>\n<li><strong>GeForce RTX 3090<\/strong> \u2013 $1,499 (R25,166)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, it appears that South Africans may not benefit as much from these prices as some would have hoped.<\/p>\n<p>Local online retailer Evetech has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.evetech.co.za\/components\/nvidia-ati-graphics-cards-21.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>listed<\/strong><\/a> pricing for ASUS and MSI\u2019s RTX 3070, RTX 3080, and RTX 3090 cards.<\/p>\n<p>The GPUs are listed as \u201ccoming soon\u201d, with no confirmed availability date stated.<\/p>\n<p>A total of eight RTX 3090 and RTX 3080 models are listed, while six variants of the RTX 3070 are on offer.<\/p>\n<h3>Big price difference<\/h3>\n<p>Historically, there has been a difference between South African and US GPU prices due to import and shipping costs.<\/p>\n<p>The discrepancies are particularly significant this time around, however.<\/p>\n<p>The entry-level RTX 3070 listed on Evetech is selling for R15,499 \u2013 46% more expensive than the directly-converted US dollar price.<\/p>\n<p>The most affordable version of the RTX 3080 is priced at R20,599, which is 43% higher than the direct dollar-to-rand price.<\/p>\n<p>Gamers looking for a top-of-the-line GPU will pay between R39,499 and R46,499 for an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090.<\/p>\n<p>That is around 36% to 46% more expensive than the recommended retail price in the US.<\/p>\n<p>The table below shows the prices of the RTX 30 series cards that will be available from Evetech.<\/p>\n<div
