Looks like they reduced the price for the 3080ti, was hoping this would happen
This is the same thing they did for 3070 and 3080 too. They priced it higher initially so the AIBs were also priced around that, then they reduced it after launch. AIBs stuck to the same pricing.
I don't know why it's so hard for them to decide the price at once before launch

I got a question. I found a 1660 Super that could potentially be for a very good price (it's second hand)
I have a GTX 1060 in my laptop, but my PC has no GPU as of right now. Do I take the card, or wait for an RTX card?

We are already seeing a lot of these farms moving lock stock and smoking barrels to the US, to Russia, to Northern Europe and other places. There might be a lull in mining for a while but I hate to say this ... Its coming back and will keep coming back unless Central Banks across the world ban, regulate and/or tax mining farms heavily making it unprofitable. This damm thing is like an infestation of roaches. They would survive a nuclear holocaust.

I wish if I could get my hands on this hardware somehow. Electricity is a lot cheaper in Himachal.

How much are you paying for 1660 Super?
AMD and Nvidia are not releasing cheap cards so $200-250 category is same as before.

Okay, so some clarification: Bitcoin mining doesn't have anything to do with GPUs or GPU availability/shortages. It's entirely ASIC and has been for almost a decade.

It's Ethereum mining that's the GPU blackhole. There are other cryptocurrencies that you can mine with a GPU, but all of them together is only a fraction of ETH's network. Some of these are pegged against BTC, so their value increases and decreases with BTC, but for the most part ETH holds its own value.

And that is going to go away in the next few months when ETH 2.0 is implemented (which no longer depends on GPU mining). We'll have a period when there's no profitable GPU mining and everyone would be scrambling to dispose of their ill-timed investments, but that will not be for long. This window will be the best time to get a hold of a GPU. But it's inevitable something else would come in and take ETH's place.

I have been hearing this Eth 2.0 for a long time now and I dont think they want to. Maybe they are getting Greedy. BTC price drop should also create a Chaos or some doubts for people who are mining other Alt Coins using GPU. I know they can mine other coins but will not be as profitable as Ether which I can say is the second most money minting coin after BTC.
 
All these speculations are great but don't expect sudden changes. If and when it does change I don't think it'll be close to MSRP, there's still a global shortage of chips and we still have the same distributors. Expect March/April pricing at best, if it does goes to old prices that'll be a nice surprise.
 
If this card with only 3 years warranty that too from a tier 2 brand costs almost 32k then I can sell my Zotac with 5 years warranty for at least 35k right??? Time to get rich!!

Indeed. These are still just speculations. I think we will need some groups of miners to trigger the price fall and then others may follow suit because of the panic sell and paranoia. Only then do I think that we may see the GPUs for sale. The scenario is good of course but we'll need more than that.

The same website has 3070 for over 1L. Can't be sure without calling and confirming.

Maybe the people who run this website has brain and they know it is a LHR card. But yeah whoever is thinking about this, just call and confirm.

That's actually unfair and fraudulent selling.
If you have mentioned a specific model number for a price, you have to sell that once the order is placed.
Onus is not on buyer to assume it would be LHR version.
But then again, this is India. If people are buying, call beforehand or order with credit card so dispute can be raised if needed.
