Without announcing the thing in any way, NVIDIA has decided to slightly increase the price of its graphics cards, the famous GeForce RTX 30 Founders Edition that can only be acquired – in France – through the LDLC reseller.
From 20 to 100 euros increase
If the increase leaves a certain “margin” between the prices offered by NVIDIA and those of its partners, the increase is still around 5.5% and therefore concerns the entire range.
A GeForce RTX 30 Founders Edition thus earns 100 euros, going from 1,549 to 1,649 euros. At the other end of the scale, the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Founders Edition sees its price increase by 20 euros to reach 439 euros while it cost 419 euros a few days ago.

Our colleagues from Videocardz drew up the table above summarizing perfectly the increases thus noticed. It now remains to be seen whether the waltz of labels will also concern the already exorbitant “third party” models.
Nvidia does not sell directly to customers in the United States at the moment, instead relying on Best Buy as its only partner for Founders Edition cards. While there have been GPU dumps of 17,000 cards (around the United States) in the past, this is a small quantity. GPU prices on sites like eBay continue to be significantly higher than MSRPs, and pricing on sites like Newegg aren’t far behind – but only if you’re chosen in a Newegg Shuffle.
Ultimately, regardless of geographic area, getting the best graphics cards will remain a difficult task. Nvidia’s Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress, on the other hand, has suggested that supplies should improve in the second part of the year. This is when the business is likely to unveil its new 40-Series cards, which are rumoured to be manufactured at TSMC. Since a result, additional supply should become available, as the business will continue to offer RTX 30-Series cards manufactured at Samsung foundries.
