To buy the GeForce RTX 30 at the recommended price, you need to become a member of the paid club

In the US, the BestBuy retail chain sells GeForce RTX 30 video cards in a rather unusual way at recommended prices.

Despite the fact that video cards are gradually becoming cheaper, the deficit and impressive markups have not disappeared yet. And even a year and a half after the announcement of the GeForce RTX 30 card, it is almost impossible to buy at the recommended prices.

BestBuy in the US is the exclusive reseller of GeForce RTX 30 Founders Edition cards. And now it seems to be even more difficult to buy such adapters just like that. The fact is that the company launched the BestBuy Totaltech program, within which, for $ 200 a year, users receive various benefits, including free shipping on a number of products, round-the-clock technical support, the ability to return goods within 60 days, and so on. And, besides all this, the company decided to add the possibility of buying GeForce RTX 30 FE video cards at recommended prices. Yes, this does not mean that ordinary buyers will not get such cards, but they will probably get it only if they are not bought up by participants in the Totaltech program. Moreover, BestBuy does not limit one user to one card: you can buy much more, as long as they are different models.

However, if we talk about older RTX 30 cards, those very $ 200, even as a one-time overpayment, still fall short of the markups available on the market, that is, it is simply profitable. Including resellers.
