Unexpectedly, in the second half of 2023, the price of graphics cards will still drop so miserably. In addition to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, which has just been launched, some merchants have given discounts in Germany. Earlier, foreign media also discovered that the price of the RTX 4080 has dropped to less than 1,000 US dollars for the first time in the United States, which means it only costs about NT$30,000. I have to say that this price is really super good.
It smells so good! NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 drops below $1,000 for the first time
When the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 was launched, graphics cards had been falling sharply for a while, so unlike the overpriced RTX 30 series, the price was reasonable and not expensive. The recommended selling price was US$1,199. In April this year, there was a price discount of $100 in the United States. It was quite good to have such a big discount less than half a year after its launch.
Recently, someone discovered that Newegg’s RTX 4080 is available for only $999, and it’s from MSI, not a second-tier graphics card manufacturer.
According to foreign media VideoCardz, MSI is a company that has quickly lowered the prices of Radeon series and GeForce series graphics cards in the past few months. It is not sure why. Recently, it announced a very attractive price for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080. It is priced at US$1,099 on the Newegg website. You can also use discount coupons to enjoy an additional US$100 discount, which means it will eventually become US$999. This is also For the first time, the price of RTX 4080 is below $1,000, and it is still available (it seems that it will last until 7/9). This shows that even if the price becomes so good, not many people still buy it:
I looked up the same graphics card in Taiwan. Although PChome’s 24h shopping today remained the same at NT$42,990, I observed the historical price changes and found that there were sudden price cuts in a few days, with the lowest price reaching NT$34,990, a discount of NT$8000. This shows that Taiwan may also have similar price cuts, but not for a long time. People who are interested in this graphics card can check the shopping mall prices every day to see if there are any adjustments:
VideoCardz also added that although this big price reduction is not global, players in many countries can buy the RTX 4080 at a cheaper price. For example, in Europe, it originally cost 1,329 euros, but now it can be purchased for 1,159 euros, which is 12.7% cheaper. The same goes for China. It originally cost 9,499 yuan, but now it is 8,199 yuan, which is also 13.7% lower.
In any case, no one really knows when the price of graphics cards will drop, so those who are not in a hurry can wait, but if they are a little anxious, you can actually consider buying it when the price drops to a price that you think is good. After all, it is unlikely to drop further, so it is more important to get it first to play games.
Mindfactory The MSI GeForce RTX 4060 VENTUS 2X was recently reduced to €310.39:
It’s really special when you think about it. Obviously, it was only in 2020 and 2021 that GPU cards were hard to find. But it will be completely different in 2022 and 2023. Even new graphics cards launched in the second half of 2023 will have their prices lowered soon. Players who bought graphics cards at high prices in the past few years will definitely want to cry.
