That's why cards like the recently released RTX 3090 Ti and RX 6950 XT aren't great buys at launch, and I wouldn't be all that interested in the $950 RX 6900 XT either, even if it's selling below MSRP right now.īut for people after more budget and mainstream GPUs, we don't expect these cards to be replaced by new models as quickly. I certainly wouldn't want to be forking out $1,200 on an RTX 3080 Ti when that same amount of money in a few months could be getting me something much better. As we said last month, prospective buyers of high-end GPUs in particular may want to wait.

Unfortunately, the RX 6600 did get slightly more expensive, but overall we expect to keep seeing the occasional model be available below the MSRP, depending on the month.Īnd while this is all good news, we have to remember these are old GPU series now, and are set to be imminently replaced. The RX 6900 XT is selling for just $950, the 6600 XT is $5 below its $380 MSRP, and the much maligned RX 6500 XT is finally available for $195. In what's excellent news for buyers, several AMD GPUs are currently available at below their MSRP. On average, we saw an 8 percent price drop for AMD's lineup month on month, looking at the cheapest available GPUs on Newegg and factoring in any mail in rebates. Some Radeon GPUs saw price drops as big as 15 percent, like the 6600 XT. Basically every Radeon model is sitting near the MSRP, with the exception of the RX 6800 series which remains overpriced by 27 percent, though the price of these GPUs continues to fall and are lower than Nvidia's equivalent models. Last month a couple of models were selling at the MSRP, but this month it's the majority of the lineup. From the RTX 3080 and down, on average Nvidia's GPUs are still sitting over 30 percent above their launch MSRP, with the 3060 Ti being a particularly bad example – though its MSRP is also the clear standout value choice, if it were available at that level. Price inflation remains an issue for most of Nvidia's line up. While these instances do limit the average price drop for May to just 6 percent, several cards saw price drops over 10 percent which is more in line with the trend in prior months. The RTX 3090 appears to be stuck at $1,700 for now, while the RTX 3050 is actually slightly more expensive today than it was a month ago. Last month, high-end cards like the RTX 3080 Ti effectively hit their MSRP, and other models are edging closer with a few exceptions.Īverage Sale Price of eBay Completed Listings, New Products, 3rd Week of Month On the retail market, the pricing trend is still looking positive for GeForce graphics cards. We can't predict for how long the original models will continue to sold but right now there's no problem finding one. While that isn't a great look for AMD's refreshed GPU series, what matters most is that buyers have access to all the GPUs mentioned above. That makes the new variant a less appealing deal. The 6750 XT is 5 percent faster on average at 1440p than the 6700 XT, yet current pricing has the new model 12 percent more expensive. Surely you can buy one for $550 without issue, however the RX 6700 XT is readily available for $490, or only $10 above MSRP. Take the cash grab that is the RX 6750 XT as an example. As we discussed in those reviews though, it probably doesn't make sense to buy a refreshed GPU when the existing models are still available and often cost less (and offer better value). The case is the same for the $550 RX 6750 XT and $1,100 RX 6950 XT. If you want an RX 6650 XT right now, you'll be paying dead on $400. All three new Radeon GPUs have hit the market at the MSRP, and there's no shortage of products to go around. This has also been the case for AMD's Radeon RX 6X50 series refresh, which we've been reviewing to. Of course, that MSRP is a bit ridiculous given the performance increase over the original RTX 3090 and the age of Ampere GPUs, but at least makers are no longer launching products at a supposed price point only to see that drastically increase straight away.
The RTX 3090 Ti launched at $2,000 and since launch it's been easy to get and priced as the MSRP would suggest. Over the last month or so, MSRP level pricing has started to become the norm for GPU shopping to some extent. As we inch closer to the arrival of next generation graphics cards, we expect the current state of the market to heavily influence what GPU manufacturers will charge for upcoming products.
