Graphics Cards Pricing slowly normalizing to MSRP
For a notch, over half a year AMD and NVIDIA graphics card pricing has improved, with a decreasing trend bringing street prices closer to the true MSRP.
Both AMD and NVIDIA's newest GPUs have now lowered to levels that are close normal again. 3D Center did a price research in Austria and Germany. Trying to buy an AMD graphics card now comes with a 13% markup above MSRP, while NVIDIA products look to be holding steady at 119 percent.
| Street Price vs List Price | Dec 12 | Jan 2 | Jan 23 | 13 Feb | 6 Mar | 27 Mar | Apr 17 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AMD Radeon RX 6000 | +83% | +78%(-5PP) | +63%(-15PP) | +45%(-18PP) | +35%(-10PP) | +25%(-10PP) | +12%(-13PP) |
| nVidia GeForce RTX 30 | +87% | +85%(-2PP) | +77%(-8PP) | +57%(-20PP) | +41%(-16PP) | +25%(-16PP) | +19%(-6PP) |
| according to the (below) street price list as of April 17, 2022;PP = percentage point | |||||||
The price drop comes after months of increased retail supply and decreasing demand from Ethereum miners. Most users who haven't bought AMD or NVIDIA's current-generation GPUs could be waiting for Intel's competing Arc Alchemist discrete From the look of the trend line, you'll be able to purchase a graphic cards at MSRP after May. Fingers crossed.

^ Yeah I hear ya. I'm only willing to upgrade to a similar tier card at a similar price. They want me to spend $1200-$1500 for the same tier product when it used to cost me $5-700 max. I'm just not doing it. I'll just go without a GPU upgrade. The price they are asking for GPUs is not inline with the nature of what these things are; a single component for rendering frames. So many better things to spend $1000+ on instead of a GPU for gaming.

This time, a few months before next gen these cards are all supposed to be on sale for less than MSRP with some game bundles and stuff.
Thanks ETH for this...

I have been upgrading the GPU every two generations as that is the way I double the fps (approximately). From 580 to the 780, then the 1080ti and now it should be 3080ti or the 12Gb 3080 looking at the performance charts on this page.
I have a 1080ti that I bought some years ago second hand and it cost me 600€. Nowadays its price is not much lower. I am not going to pay more than 500/600€ for a 3080ti. I am not going to spend 600€ on a 3070 because I would be spending a lot of money for little increase in performance.
We have been led to believe that we should pay more. Some may be dragging their feet but the reality is that only those who have used the GPU to make money have paid high prices. Those of us who use GPUs for gaming are not going to. And the worst thing for the GPU industry is that we have become accustomed to playing at medium detail or disabling not so necessary options like ambient occlusion. And you know what we have learned? That it still looks good. And if you add to that a G-Sync monitor you can play many games well with 50fps that are real.
My recommendation: upgrade your monitor to G-Sync or similar before looking for a new GPU. Let's punish the industry, not out of revenge but because we won't spend the money. No more than 600 for the high end.

I consider the RX 6700 XT to be in the same price bracket as my RX 470 when I purchased it for $279.... if prices are normalizing then I would love to see that reality.
There is no way in hell I am upgrading to a RX 6500 XT which is actually currently more expensive than my RX 470 when I purchased it.
