It was starting to seem like a wink-wink-nudge-nudge when Nvidia announced the pricing for its GeForce RTX series graphics cards, and in particular the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, which was supposed to start at $999. The Founders Edition costs $200 more, and that's what Nvidia's add-in board (AIB) partner have been aligning their own versions with—a quick peek on Newegg shows various third-party models listed for between $1,269 on up to $1,699. Well, EVGA has bucked the trend with its GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Black Edition.

The Black Edition SKU (11G-P4-2281-KR) is listed on EVGA's website for $999.99, making it the most 'affordable' GeForce RTX 2080 Ti available. Er, sort of. It's not in stock at the moment so you can't actually purchase one, if you're so inclined. However, it's nice to see that not all of the non-FE cards will sell for the same price or more as Nvidia's FE model.
