![]() ![]() When we look at the price trend for Nvidia GPUs since March 2022, that's one of the largest drops we've seen so far. Last month the RTX 30 Ti were selling for over $1,200, but now those cards are down to ~$1,000, falling in price by over 20 percent. Based on current data (using Newegg list pricing as usual), the launch has caused flagship GPU pricing to drop in the days leading up to the announcement. The question moving forward will be how much impact the announcement of RTX 40 series GPUs will have on graphics card pricing. It's a fine line to tread and we'll only find out if they're successful in the weeks after launch. ![]() Is this a deliberate strategy from Nvidia to limit losses from the high volume of RTX 30 series inventory left to be sold? By keeping the RTX 30 series somewhat attractive to buyers that could be the case, though at the cost of weakening the hype and demand for the new series. If the RTX 40 series isn't providing a substantial increase in price to performance ratio, there is less incentive for older GPU prices to fall. This presents a unique situation for current-gen graphics cards. Right now we have the RTX 3090 Ti at around $1,000, RTX 3090 slightly below that, RTX 3080 Ti around $800, and the RTX 3080 series around the $750 mark.īased on the performance numbers Nvidia showed, the RTX 40 series should slot right into that current pricing structure, though of course we'll have to wait for independent reviews to figure out exactly where they land. What Nvidia appears to have done is pricing the RTX 40 series at roughly the same price-to-performance level as current products. The idea that the chip is going to go down in price is a story of the past" Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang in a recent RTX 40 series launch Q&A ![]() (…) A 12-inch wafer is a lot more expensive today. It's also true some of the price drops have come in anticipation of newer generation GPUs. However, when we look at the current market, where the RTX 3090 is selling for below $1,000 – I don't think the MSRP for a two-year-old product is all that relevant right now. For example, the RTX 4090 should be substantially faster than the RTX 3090 while only costing $100 more. In our RTX 40 launch analysis we talked about how these new cards appear to give an improvement in price to performance ratio when compared to the RTX 30 series MSRPs. These are premium priced products that in the current market would be two of the three most expensive GPUs you can buy. The GeForce RTX 4090 will be $1,600 coming on October 12, followed by the RTX 4080 16GB at $1,200 and RTX 4080 12GB at $900, both expected in November. Nvidia's new GPUs and graphics cards (check this out for a full breakdown) are going to be expensive. We're expecting price movement to continue throughout the fourth quarter and it all starts with these two developments which have major implications for the GPU market.īut have these factors had any impact in the market yet? Let's find out.įollow up: October 2022, November 2022, December 2022 Let's talk GPU prices and this month's update is very interesting because of two key factors: the first, Nvidia just launched new GeForce 40 series graphics cards and second, GPU mining is now dead.
