NVIDIA Malaysia: GeForce RTX 3080 Ti to start from RM5800, RTX 3070 Ti from RM2880
We are currently facing extremely high prices for graphics cards, but perhaps there’s a glimmer of hope with the upcoming NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti and RTX 3080 Ti. NVIDIA has officially announced the starting prices for these cards on their website, and they are quite affordable.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti will start from RM2880, while the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is going to start from RM5800. These are very much in line with their launch MSRP in USD, but of course, we aren’t sure how long we will see NVIDIA’s local partners offer the cards at the low MSRPs.
With the GPU prices in Malaysia driven up by multiple factors including cryptominers and also scalpers, it would be extremely odd to see the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti cards being offered for less than the current market price for GeForce RTX 3070 cards. But oh well, I guess a man can hope.

Hopefully with the cryptomining limiters imposed on the new LHR cards as well as the new GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3070 Ti, we will see more cards available for gamers to buy. The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti from NVIDIA’s AIB partners will be available for purchase in Malaysia starting 3rd June, while the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti will be out starting 10th June, so stay tuned for them.
Pokdepinion: RM5800 for the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti sure sounds very enticing…
