AMD and NVIDIA graphics card prices will continue to drop

The recent drop in prices for AMD Radeon RX-series and NVIDIA GeForce RTX-series graphics cards was significant, but it seems the best prices are yet to come.

A new report by the MyDrivers portal states that, according to sources in Taiwan, the recent price drop failed to clear warehouse inventory. A new, second wave of price cuts is on the way, and it will be much larger in scale.

NVIDIA recently reported that gaming revenue fell by 33% year-over-year. GeForce RTX graphics cards must be unloaded from warehouses and shipped to gamers as quickly as possible.

Especially considering that the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti is currently going for $1200+, its price should drop to $1000. This is because the upcoming GeForce RTX 4090 will be twice as fast, featuring new capabilities, better RT performance, and much more. And it will be only $200–300 more expensive at a price of $1499?

The MyDrivers report explains: 

“The buzz about price drops on graphics cards has been heard for a long time, but many users are unaware of it. According to revelations from Taiwan Economic Daily, the main reason is that manufacturers are still negotiating better preferences with dealers.”

“According to the latest news from Taiwan Economic Daily, inventory clearance is not going as smoothly as expected. Graphics card manufacturers will kick off a new wave of price cuts starting in September, primarily for NVIDIA and AMD products, and the price drops will far exceed previous ones.”
