Where to buy RTX 3080 Ti: how to get the best prices on the beastly refresh GPU
It's only been available for a few months but RTX 3080 Ti stock is, sadly, just as evasive as the first iteration of the card back in September 2020. That trend is pretty consistent with every other member of the Nvidia RTX 30-series family as well; buying one is the easy part, actually finding the GPU for a good price is something of immense difficulty right now.

RTX 3080 Ti price
This high-end GPU retails with an MSRP of $1,199 and an RRP of £1,049 making it one of the more expensive ways to get into 4K gaming, but the sheer force on display (10,240 CUDA cores and 12GB VRAM) that's of little surprise that there's a steep barrier to entry.
On that subject, given that this card launched on June 3rd 2021, only a few months ago, it's highly unlikely that you'll be able to find it for its release price set by Nvidia, even from the trusted big name retailers. Worth mentioning that some GPU makers have modified the stock cards which can sometimes alter the asking price, too.

Where to buy RTX 3080 Ti - US
Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti | From $1,199 (Check Amazon)
The world's largest online retailer is, unfortunately, very light on RTX 3080 Ti stock and what is there is grossly over the odds to justify buying into. Our advice is go for a prebuilt system with the card inside, some of which is available from Amazon now.
Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti | From $1,199 (Check Best Buy)
Unfortunately, in a similar story to Amazon, Best Buy is completely depleted of RTX 3080 Ti stock of any kind. Currently, there's no word on when a restock is happening, but it's worth checking back often to make sure you're not missing out when things do get more exciting.
Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti | From $1,199 (Check Newegg)
If you're prepared to spend in excess of the MSRP then RTX 3080 Ti graphics cards are very much available, but with an average asking price of $1,800+ - we recommend buying a prebuilt gaming rig with the card inside instead.
Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti | From $1,199 (Check Walmart)
It's a familiar song and dance, we're afraid, but if you want the GPU that bad, Walmart does indeed have some available, but you're likely to spend over the odds for the privilege. Again, buying an entire PC for a fraction over the asking price of the standalone component is a far better value for money proposition in our eyes.
Where to buy RTX 3080 Ti - UK
Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti | From £1,049 (Check Amazon)
As is the case with several other RTX 30-series graphics cards, Amazon across the pond fares better than its American counterpart with cards available for over the RRP, yes, but also great prices on prebuilt gaming towers starting at £2,089.95 from Vibox and CyberPowerPC.
Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti | From £1,049 (Check EBuyer)
The lowest price we were able to find on RTX 3080 Ti from this retailer was £1,349.99 but, more favourably, lots of the GPUs have a 'coming soon' notice underneath their stock listing; implying that more are very much on the way for the RRP some time soon, hopefully.
Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti | From £1,049 (Check Overclockers UK)
Overclockers UK do, in fact, have various different models of the RTX 3080 Ti in stock and ready to purchase, but at several hundred pounds above the RRP. It's currently unknown as to when more stock will come in for the price set by the manufacturer just yet; though the option's there if needed.
Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti | From £1,049 (Check Box)
You probably know the score by now; Box has the GPUs but its asking over the odds for them due to demands of the market. More interestingly, there are some stellar deals on gaming laptops made by Asus, Razer and Lenovo featuring the graphics card for a competitive price.
Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti | From £1,049 (Check Currys)
It's a sad state of affairs swinging by the virtual shelves in search of RTX 3080 Ti stock at Currys. At time of writing, there's nothing available just yet, even with some of the higher asking prices on the components. With that said, it's worth keeping a close watch for any restocks to appear in the next few weeks or months; should that be the case.
