If you’re planning on jumping on the ray tracing train with one of NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 20 series GPUs, you might be interested in this news.

The distributor recently posted the announcement of the price reduction on the official Zotac Malaysia Facebook page with the words “Mass Takedown” plastered on the signs, and rightly so. To that end, consumers will now be able to purchase a new RTX 2080 Super Twin for RM2048, while the card’s top-tier RTX 2080 Super Amp Core RGB version of the card retails for RM2189.
For those looking for something a little lower on the performance scale, Zotac’s RTX 2070 Super graphics cards start at RM1799 for their Super Air variant, while their higher-end Amp Extreme model will sell for RM1919.
A Sun Cycle representative told us that one of the main reasons for slashing the prices of their RTX 2070 Supers and RTX 2080 Supers was due to both the launch and starting price of the new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series. For the uninitiated, early last week, NVIDIA released its new GeForce RTX 30 Series graphics cards, with starting prices for the RTX 3070, RTX 3080, and RTX 3090 series soon after.
With a starting SRP of RM2399 for the RTX 3070 and since the card is reportedly more powerful than an RTX 2080 Ti, it’s no wonder Sun Cycle wants to cut their losses before even considering bringing in their own custom refrigerated versions. of Zotac of the new cards. .
On a related note, don’t be alarmed if the cards aren’t selling at the new prices on online retail sites or PC retail stores yet. Sun Cycle says this is because the price drop has just started, but it should start soon. Again, keep in mind that this steep price reduction only applies to Zotac cards; At the time of writing, it is still known whether other brands of graphics cards will follow suit or hold their own until the official availability of the new GeForce RTX 30 Series.
