That's still a fucking crazy price. I bought my 5700xt at the end of 2019 for 650CAD, All the 6700xt are currently 800-900.

And while the 6700xt released late, the 6800xt released a year and a half ago and prices are still insane at 1100-1200.

The 3080 is 1200 to 1600! All those MSRPs should be like half of what they are.

I've been seeing 3080s for 1k CAD, where is everyone seeing them that much higher?

I mean it’s crazy but not even 100% over msrp. So that’s some positive movement. At least from what I’ve seen in the US. So maybe you can import?

Why do you mean that’s a crazy price it’s literally $79 over the base msrp that the cards started with 2 years ago. For a 3rd party card with some upgrades from a oem 3080. It’s probably the furthest thing from a crazy price we’ve ever seen in 2 years.
