Nvidia and AMD graphics card prices still haven’t dropped to MSRP

by ddos ·

Although after entering 2022, the average price of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series and AMD Radeon RX 6000 series graphics cards has been in the downward channel, however, the latest graphics card price trend compiled by 3DCenter shows that it has not yet dropped to the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP). At present, the overall premium of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series has dropped to 6%, and the overall premium of the AMD Radeon RX 6000 series has dropped to 2%, which is infinitely close to the MSRP.

3DCenter said the average prices for Nvidia GeForce RTX 30-series and AMD Radeon RX 6000-series graphics cards are still higher than the MSRP so far. The reason is that the price of the manufacturer’s “core product portfolio” is on the high side. The so-called “core product portfolio” basically refers to graphics cards covering mainstream to mid-to-high-end levels, such as GeForce RTX 3060/3070/3080 series, and Radeon RX 6700/6800 series. In fact, some flagship and mid-range to entry-level graphics cards are priced at or below MSRP.

If subdivided into specific models, AMD Radeon RX 6×50 series graphics cards are basically sold at MSRP; the Radeon RX 6500 XT in the RDNA 2 architecture is 19% below the MSRP; Radeon RX 6600 is already 11% below MSRP; GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3090 Ti are 10% lower than the MSRP, which is the most price drop in the entire GeForce RTX 30 series; the GeForce RTX 3090 is also already 2% below the MSRP.

The Radeon RX 6800 has the most premium in the Radeon RX 6000 series, reaching 35%, and the GeForce RTX 30 series has the most premium in the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, which is 21%. AMD’s Radeon RX 6000-series graphics premiums are mostly concentrated on the Radeon RX 6800-series, and if you exclude that, the average price of the rest of the Radeon RX 6000-series graphics cards is actually below the MSRP. In terms of NVIDIA, the GeForce RTX 30 series graphics cards equipped with GA104 and GA106 generally have a premium of more than 10%, which means that the models purchased by most players still have a considerable premium.
