Exactly. We're sort of between a rock and a hard place in terms of choosing a price.

While we could decide to write some software that could pull today's market prices and update tables and graphs dynamically, we just decided to settle on a single number. If you are settling on a single number, the choice is either market price on date of publication or MSRP. Given that other GPUs tend towards their MSRP as time goes on, we decided to choose MSRP.

Your article still states that 2080ti is 25% more expensive, but lists 1080ti at $700 and 2080ti at $1,200 (which are correct prices from nvidia website) which is 70% more. Which one is right?

It states that the "typical GPU system" (estimated at ~1300$ without GPU) will be 25% more expensive.

By the way, the MSRP for a regular 2080Ti is 999$, the 1200$ is the Founder's Edition price.

MSRP may be $999, but you won’t find them for much below $1,200 for the time being.

GPU modules are manufactured in China. Their harmonized codes are covered in recently established tariffs. 10% tariffs are already hitting cards arriving at US ports. This tariff will increase to 25% on Jan 1.

Prices will stay well above MSRP.
