Windows 10: How low will prices drop on RTX 3000 series?

Just what the thread title says. I've been in the market for a 3080 since they launched and obviously haven't bought one, but I've been checking the prices on Amazon for the last couple of weeks and they have been dropping almost daily. Down to less than $800 now. Do you guys think they will fall back to the original launch MSRP? How low do you think they will get and when do you think would be the best time to get one? Do you think there's a chance that they could go back up?

The latest graphic cards from Nvidia and AMD have been hard to get since they were launched last year. Even when you found them available they were for prices much higher than MSRP.

Ebay and Amazon were out because there were no cards there for reasonable prices

I signed up for the Newegg Shuffle but never heard anything. I gave on it because the rules were overly complicated.

About seven months ago I went the B&H Photo website and selected "Notify When Available" on several RTX 3000 cards. A few months later I got a couple notifications that some cards were in stock. The caveat was that it was first serve only. Since it had been a day since I was sent the email I did not even check to see if any were still available.

In June 2021 I got a bunch of notifications from B&H Photo that all the RTX 3000 series cards they had previously listed were being discontinued. I then forgot about the matter.

I was surprised to see new notifications on October 11, 2021. I was told that the following cards were available:

• ASUS GeForce RTX 3060 TUF GAMING V2 OC Graphics Card ($619.99)
• ASUS GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Republic of Gamers Strix V2 OC Graphics Card ($649.99)

This time things were different. I was guaranteed to get one or both of these cards if I completed the purchase(s) in 48 hours or less.

Note that B&H Photo only sells these cards for those prices to people on the wait list for each card,

The few other places that had these cards for sale wanted $900 or more for them.

I purchased the ASUS RTX 3060 Ti ROG Strix V2 OC. Note V2 in the part number indicates that these cards were the new LHR versions.

I am still not happy that I paid so much for this card. However, I would never have paid $800 or more for one of them.
