AMD and NVIDIA GPU prices approach MSRP and availability grows

prices of AMD Radeon and NVIDIA GeForce GPUs approach MSRPthey are now only 25% more expensive and their availability is the best since the market crash during the semiconductor crisis in 2020. They are expected to return to normal in mid-2022.

25% more expensive is still not ideal for GPUs that were released in 2020, but it is better than what we saw in prices a year ago. From peaking at triple over the retail price to just 25% over the retail price, this is a huge improvement, and means that values ​​are leveling off.

In addition to continually improving prices, GPUs are available all over the world. The drop in prices is also having a negative effect on retail sales and stockpiling of plates. Many people bought and hoarded thinking about future resale value due to the crypto mining boom. But hey, now they will have to sell them at a more normal value or risk being left with nothing.

In Europe, prices have already dropped considerably

Recently, 3D Center published a list of market values ​​and how they have been fluctuating. If we look closely at the graph, we will notice that the values ​​have been in a marked decline since January 2022. The prices of Nvidia and AMD GPUs are going down in tandem.

From what the report says, AMD’s Radeon GPUs, especially the mid-range and budget ones, are really well priced, with the 6500 XT available at full retail price, the 6600 at 11% off. above retail price and the 6600 XT at 15% above retail price. As we can see in the following graph:

Meanwhile, the values ​​of Nvidia GPUs also drop

Prices for NVIDIA GeForce GPUs are now mostly 25-35% off, with the RTX 3080 Ti being the most attractive option at just 7% above RRP. It is followed by the 3090, which is 17% above the retail price. Unlike the 6500 XT, NVIDIA’s most entry-level GPU, the RTX 3050 is slightly more inflated, coming in at 22% above retail price. Then we see it in detail in the following graph:

Keep in mind that these values ​​correspond to fluctuations in the European market, however, we can have faith that in the not too distant future, these changes in values ​​will have a positive impact on local prices.

You have to watch carefully how the market evolves and we will provide you with the information as we have more news regarding GPU prices. For now, we must also take into account that many analysts think that the semiconductor crisis is about to end. We’ll see what happens.
