UAE retailers list MSI GeForce RTX 3080 Ti SUPRIM X
Although it is still a while before Nvidia officially releases the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, many retailers can’t wait to put it on the page. At the beginning of the year, retailers in Belarus started selling Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 graphics cards in advance.
Someone provided information on Reddit, saying that one of the largest local retailers is already selling MSI GeForce RTX 3080 Ti SUPRIM X graphics cards for about $3,500. Its employees also send messages via WhatsApp to notify interested buyers that the graphics card is ready for sale. According to the whistleblower, this situation is relatively common in the local area. Previously, GeForce RTX 3070/RTX 3060 Ti/RTX 3060 had such a situation, and they were sold privately before the official release.
The MSI GeForce RTX 3080 Ti SUPRIM X sold by UAE retailers is also very high in terms of pricing, which is a lot higher than the previous retail price of about $2,300 in other regions. Of course, this is not necessarily the final retail price.
In fact, even if you buy the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, you may not be able to use it, because NVIDIA has not yet provided the corresponding driver. However, I don’t know if miners will buy it to use it for cryptocurrency mining. Although Nvidia has stated that it will add new measures to limit mining, it does not rule out that some miners find how to bypass this limitation.
In addition, the official retail price of the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is currently in doubt. There are rumors that it will be between $999 and $1,099, but there has been no definite news. In view of its market positioning and current market supply conditions, pricing may be higher.
