Nvidia has notified partners: GPU cost down 8% to 12%
After entering 2022, the prices of Nvidia GeForce RTX 30 series and AMD Radeon RX 6000 series graphics cards have declined, according to the graphics card price trend summarized by 3DCenter, the overall premium of the two is 41% and 35% respectively. Graphics card prices from both Nvidia and AMD have dropped to their lowest levels since January 2021, according to graphics card price data earlier this month, and the supply situation is much better than last year.
According to Wccftech, Nvidia has notified partners that GPU costs have dropped by 8% to 12%, which means that gamers can expect graphics card prices to drop further in the coming period. For the graphics card market, which has long been accustomed to large premiums, this has not happened in a long time. Of course, this does not mean that the supply of graphics cards will inevitably improve, and it may still be difficult to purchase some models. However, under the combined effect of multiple factors, the price of graphics cards is likely to continue to decline this year.
In addition to lower-priced new graphics cards, there may be a large number of second-hand graphics cards on the market, and some gamers may choose to buy cheap second-hand products. In addition, NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 40 series based on the Ada Lovelace architecture and AMD’s Radeon RX 7000 series based on the RDNA 3 architecture will debut in the second half of this year. Not only will it put pressure on the pricing of old graphics cards, but at the same time, individual gamers may choose to hold coins and wait, looking for opportunities to buy a new generation of graphics cards.
