There has been a lot of bad news about graphics cards in the past few months. Not only has the price been falling, but even though NVIDIA has offered to give away five games, the buying momentum still seems to be stagnant. Recently, foreign news has pointed out that NVIDIA seems to be planning another wave of price adjustments, and they have been dropping a lot. The new price may be seen around the end of August, so friends who are planning to buy a new graphics card these days can wait a little longer.
Is the official speeding up inventory clearance? Foreign reports say the price of NVIDIA RTX 30 series may plummet by the end of August
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 series is about to be launched. When the company announced its second quarter revenue, there was news that it was adjusting prices with partners to lower the recommended selling price of the RTX 30 series, which seems to be coming soon.
According to a report by foreign media VideoCardz, news from the supply chain has been received. NVIDIA and AMD will take more “radical” actions at the end of August to reduce the price of graphics cards. NVIDIA’s price reduction will be greater than AMD’s. I don’t know how much the price will be reduced, but since it is described as “radical”, it should be a big price reduction, which is quite exciting.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 series and AMD Radeon RX 7000 series new generation graphics cards will be launched in a few months. AMD will be earlier and is expected to be unveiled in November. NVIDIA may wait until December. This means that there will only be about 2 months left by the end of August. If the inventory of the previous generation graphics cards has not been consumed by then, it will definitely become harder to sell.
As early as the beginning of this year, foreign media discovered that the price of NVIDIA RTX 3090 Ti was extremely exaggerated, and you can buy it for less than NT$35,000:
AMD is no exception. The Radeon RX 6900 XT is already 28% lower than the MSRP recommended selling price. It only costs US$699.99, which is about NT$21,000. The current price in Taiwan is about NT$45,000:
Until the beginning of this year, graphics cards were very difficult and expensive to buy. No one could have imagined that just a few months later, the whole situation would change dramatically. Many graphics cards were not only fully stocked, but also sold at prices lower than the recommended selling price. In addition to oversupply and the imminent launch of new generation graphics cards, the cryptocurrency crash was also a major factor. There was a large number of low-price selling in the second-hand market, which in turn made people less willing to buy new cards.
The picture below is the latest statistical chart released by 3DCenter. After reaching the peak in May last year, it has been declining:
NVIDIA’s revenue in the second quarter of this year, gaming revenue was only 20.4 US dollars, a drop of approximately 44% compared to the previous quarter, and an annual decline of 33%, a very significant drop:
In any case, NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards are expected to fall in price until November, and may not stabilize until the launch of a new generation, so those who want to pick up bargains should pay more attention in September and October. Although the NVIDIA game bundle event has ended, we do not rule out the opportunity to launch new free games. If there is any latest news, we will follow up and report at any time.
