Want an Nvidia RTX 3080? They’re in stock at MSRP right now

EVGA has restocked several of its Nvidia RTX 30-series graphics cards for near list price, and you can buy them immediately. Following consistently inflated GPU prices, it seems the best graphics cards are finally back in stock — and at a price that gamers may be able to afford.

For nearly two years, EVGA has restricted its graphics cards to a queue system, forcing hopeful buyers to wait until their name comes up before purchasing a graphics card. The models in stock now are available for anyone to buy right away, no waiting required.

  • RTX 3080 Ti XC3 Ultra Hybrid — $1,380
  • RTX 3080 Ti XC3 Ultra — $1,280
  • RTX 3080 12GB FTW3 Ultra Hydro Copper — $1,250
  • RTX 3080 12GB FTW3 Ultra Hybrid — $1,1200
  • RTX 3080 12GB XC3 Ultra Hydro Copper — $1,200
  • RTX 3080 12GB XC3 Ultra Hybrid — $1,300
  • RTX 3080 12GB XC3 Ultra — $980
  • RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra Hydro Copper Gaming — $920
  • RTX 3070 Ti FTW3 Ultra — $760
  • RTX 3050 XC — $300

These are some of the lowest GPU prices we’ve seen in months. The prices of graphics cards have been tumbling over the past few months, as cryptocurrency miners sell off old units and the supply chain begins to stabilize. EVGA is one of the first vendors to return to direct sales, and it’s offering solid discounts.

The RTX 3050, for example, is only $50 above its list price. The 12GB RTX 3080 — which we said was a bad deal in our review — is selling for below its list price. If you’ve been eagerly waiting to pick up a new graphics card, now is the time. EVGA isn’t alone here, either. Last month, Asus announced it would cut the prices of Nvidia graphics cards as of April 1.

The GPU shortage has pushed the prices of graphics cards extremely high, with some cards selling for thousands of dollars over the course of 2021. Prices have been dropping over the past several months, but we’ve only seen cards near list price over the past few weeks. Hopefully, by the time summer rolls around, graphics cards will regularly sell near list price.

EVGA’s offerings are enticing, but it’s important to note the lack of lower-end options in Nvidia’s RTX 30-series lineup. Those looking for a flagship card are spoiled with options, though. EVGA has several models of the RTX 3080 Ti, for example, from the liquid-cooled RTX 3080 Ti XC3 Ultra Hydro Copper to the RGB-ridden RTX 3080 Ti FTW3 Ultra.

We’ve confirmed that the cards listed above are in stock at the time of publication, though we suspect that will change. Although GPUs aren’t as hard to get as they once were, there’s a good chance some of the cards above will sell out.

The popularity of ChatGPT may give Nvidia an unexpected boost
Nvidia's A100 data center GPU.

The constant buzz around OpenAI's ChatGPT refuses to wane. With Microsoft now using the same technology to power its brand-new Bing Chat, it's safe to say that ChatGPT may continue this upward trend for quite some time. That's good news for OpenAI and Microsoft, but they're not the only two companies to benefit.

According to a new report, the sales of Nvidia's data center graphics cards may be about to skyrocket. With the commercialization of ChatGPT, OpenAI might need as many as 10,000 new GPUs to support the growing model -- and Nvidia appears to be the most likely supplier.

You can use the power of ChatGPT in Google Slides now
The MagidSlides extension for Google Slides up close.

The prowess of OpenAI's ChatGPT continues to expand beyond its initial interface, most recently via a new Google Workspace app called MagicSlides that has surfaced to be a companion for building projects in Google Slides.

The app works as a Google Workspace plug-in, which you can install and then access from the Extensions option within a Google Slides presentation. It also requires you to have an OpenAI account, because you will need to have an API key to keep track of your usage. You can generate a key from your account in the View API keys section.

Atomic Heart restored my fragmented faith in PC ports
A robot's face pulls apart as it screams in Atomic Heart.

I had rock-bottom expectations for Atomic Heart. I was confident I'd enjoy the game, but I've been burned by too many half-baked, stuttering, buggy PC ports over the past several years to put too much faith in an ambitious AAA title with next-gen tech from a first-time developer. It sounds like a recipe for disaster.

But Atomic Heart not only defied my expectations, it blew them away. It's not a perfect game, but it's nearly a perfect tech demo. It comes packed with some of the best visuals you can find in a PC game right now, and despite that, it runs well on a variety of hardware.
