Since Tuesday’s official launch of NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 30 Series of GPUs, many around the world have begun planning on how to get one.

That would be $1,679.84 for me after 6.5% sales tax. Not much higher than the SEP of $1,499.00 USD.

In the end they're charging pretty close to what has been stated would be the expected prices.
