Nvidia founders edition tax. The rtx 3080 fe costs 699 direct from nvidia and that s the base price of rtx 3080 cards for the time being. Gamers aiming for high resolution high refresh. A fierce follow up to its killer geforce rtx 3080 nvidia s beautifully engineered rtx 3070 founders edition is a practically perfect graphics card. Faster than rtx 2080 ti you might have seen nvidia s claim a few weeks back.

It has been referred to as an early adopters tax more than once. Nvidia has opted to cease selling rtx 3080 and 3090 founders edition graphics cards on its online store. That was a tall order for nvidia s 499 ampere based geforce rtx 3070 founders edition graphics. Another piece of good news is that there s no founders edition tax this time.

The review embargo for nvidia s geforce rtx 3070 founders edition is up today and when the dust settles from reviews around the web and the tube we will know how close to. The founders edition had a higher 1710mhz gpu boost clock but that was the only difference. I expected founders edition cards to be for sale within 48 hours of today s gtx 1080 launch but that is not the case. The nvidia geforce rtx 3070 founders edition graphics card delivers performance on par with last generation s flagship for 700 less but compromises on memory capacity.

Many years of engineering effort was invested to craft the geforce rtx founders edition which is without doubt the best nvidia designed graphics card we ve ever made.

Geforce rtx graphics cards are powered by the turing gpu architecture and the rtx platform this gives you up to 6x the performance of previous generation graphics cards and brings the power of real time ray tracing and ai powered dlss 2 0 to games. Then nvidia sold its own variant of the geforce rtx 2070 called the geforce rtx 2070 founders edition for 599.

That seems that it might now be the case now. At every stage the efficiency of every component was evaluated and fine tuned maximizing performance and overclocking capabilities whilst keeping the gpu cool and quiet. Therefore the founders edition had slightly higher performance but a 100 higher price.
