NVIDIA GeForce GPU prices drop, AMD Radeon GPU prices rise as the market adjusts, NVIDIA GPU availability improves dramatically

NVIDIA GeForce GPU prices continue to move closer to MSRP thanks to improved availability while AMD Radeon GPU prices trend slightly higher, 3DCenter reports in the latest graphics card pricing update.

NVIDIA GeForce graphics card prices could hit MSRP by year end as amperage availability improves and AMD Radeon graphics card prices increase due to 7nm GPU constraints

Last month, it was reported that the price drop for NVIDIA and AMD GPUs came to a halt after falling from over 300% overload to just 50% overload due to several factors. While we aren’t getting similar price drops, the NVIDIA and AMD price trend shows that with the ramp-up of its Ampere GPUs, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX line of graphics cards could hit their expected MSRP by the next month. end of this year. AMD, on the other hand, is seeing graphics card prices rise again due to 7nm supply constraints for its RDNA 2 GPUs which are featured in Radeon RX 6000 graphics cards on desktop computers.

NVIDIA has taken numerous steps to ensure gamers have GeForce RTX GPUs and not minors. The company has launched its CMP (Crypto Mining Processor) series, which are graphics cards designed specifically for mining. The company also launched its LHR (Lite Hash Rate) GPU line which replaced the entire existing GeForce RTX 30 Ampere GPU line and imposed mining algorithm restrictions. LHR cards have low to low value for crypto mining purposes and NVIDIA has reduced overall prices in various markets as still operational cryptocurrency setups cannot use them and gamers are reluctant to purchase graphics cards. at prices so high that retailers ultimately cut prices significantly.

There is still a significant stock of non-LHR GeForce RTX 30 GPUs on the market that distributors and retailers are keeping and will release at exorbitant prices once the next crypto boom occurs, although this is the last in the stock no. LHR. LHR Ampere GPUs are currently being ramped up by NVIDIA and their offering has improved significantly over the past few weeks and this can be seen in major outlets. Prices are still 40-45% higher than MSRP, but the trend shows that we can expect prices to be at MSRP by the end of the year.

Moving on to AMD, we’ve talked to a few big AMD AIB partners and they don’t expect the offering to improve anytime soon. The problem still exists with TSMC’s 7nm process node, which has been swallowed up by competitors and other AMD products the company has given more priority to, such as Zen 3 processors and custom SOCs for consoles.

Price of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series graphics cards (GPU Ampere) via 3DCenter:

In the pricing table above, you can see that all NVIDIA GPUs are currently rated at 3 or more starts, while AMD with just four GPUs has an uptime rating starting at 2 stars. Prices for NVIDIA’s high-end lineup, such as the 3080 Ti and 3090, have improved significantly and are currently only costing 15-20% off the MSRP. These are the old RTX 3060, RTX 3070, RTX 3080 shares that are still priced high, but these also fell around 15% on average from the previous month.

AMD graphics cards continue to stay high, with the Big Navi GPU starting at 30% over MSRP and up to 81% more expensive, while the 6700 XT costs an average of 44% more than MSRP. That doesn’t bode well for the Radeon RX 6600 XT which launches tomorrow and is already priced at around US $ 700, which is a 60-80% markup over its MSRP. But we should be hopeful things will improve by the end of 2021, as all industry analysts have reported.
