GRAPHICS CARD PRICE DROPS ARE GREAT NEWS FOR AMD FANS – BUT LESS SO FOR NVIDIA

By Darren Allan published 18 days ago

Prices are dropping fast now – but you still might want to wait before buying

The good news for would-be graphics card buyers is that average pricing for AMD
GPUs has now dipped considerably below recommended price tags (MSRP), and Nvidia
is close to doing so, too.



That’s the conclusion of the regular report from 3DCenter (opens in new tab),
which gathers data from major tech retailers in Germany (and Austria) for AMD RX
6000 and Nvidia RTX 3000 retail pricing, comparing that to the MSRPs.



AMD’s current-gen graphics cards are now pitched at 92% of MSRP as of the June
19 report, so actually a good chunk under the recommended price tag on average,
which is great to see, and a big fall of 10% (they were at 102% of MSRP on May
29, just three weeks before).




Nvidia’s Ampere GPUs have dropped, but sadly by much less, and are now 102% of
MSRP, compared to 106% three weeks ago. Still, these products are very nearly at
their recommended price now, at least – 2% isn’t exactly a majorly inflated
price tag.

ANALYSIS: YOU SHOULD PROBABLY WAIT LONGER, IF YOU CAN

Of course, we should bear in mind the usual caveat here: don’t place too much
stock (pun not intended) in one single set of figures. Although that said,
3DCenter’s stat crunching is one of the more regular and reliable bellwethers of
the graphics card market to take into consideration.



Moreover, this also matches what we’ve seen elsewhere in recent times, such as
observations of GPU prices dropping made by Tom’s Hardware (opens in new tab)
(which flagged up this story). And indeed Tom’s found that prices are positively
sinking like a stone with used graphics cards being auctioned off on eBay – all
part of the big crypto crash and panic that’s currently ongoing. Which is all
good news for the consumer looking to buy a GPU for, you know, actual gaming.

To see Nvidia’s pricing not declining at the same rate as AMD is no surprise
really, and that seems to be a function of demand. Quite simply, there are more
gamers out there looking to finally pick up an RTX 3000 card at a reasonable
price, as witnessed in the recent rankings of top retailers like Newegg in the
US (and in fact now, Nvidia GPUs represent the entire top 30 of Newegg’s
best-selling models, which is even more dominant than before).

There’s a broader sentiment here, though, and it pertains to a larger number of
consumers looking at increasingly old graphics cards (in many cases), and
wondering about the wisdom of paying over the odds (at least for Nvidia GPUs,
and still some AMD models) for these products, when the next-gen cards from both
firms are not that far off, and maybe with Nvidia, possibly just around the
corner.

All of which means that it’s probably worth waiting longer for better GPU
bargains to crop up yet, as it seems that price tags will drift down further
from here. 3DCenter’s graph of pricing for 2022 is an entirely downward curve
for the whole year, and there’s no real reason that we can conceive of why that
won’t continue going forward.
