It has been a matter of luck to net an Xbox Series X, PS5, or Nvidia RTX and AMD Radeon graphics cards for free for almost two years. While scalpers charged doubled MSRP for a modern GPU, it looks like the GPU shortage is almost over.
At the beginning of the year, many websites, including Tom’s Hardware, revealed the fall in the prices. They reported that GPU prices were about to drop further, and they finally did. Now, the prices have dropped by 30 percent since January 2022.
Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti and AMD Radeon 6900XT graphics cards are available at a street price, ranging from $200 to $300 over MSRP. These popular graphic cards seem to fetch less than their original price, which clearly indicates that wisdom will return to the market.
Some graphic cards continue to stock at retailers when they have high prices. It sounds fine though this is not something users have seen in a while. Boutiques like computer retailers could only afford to offer you a GPU as a part of a great PC deal, although it makes every graphic card available. Newegg has an RTX 3080 Ti available for $10 over MSRP, whereas GameStop has also offered a Radeon RX6600 for $10.
Some users may want to pay a mark-up, but many options are available. A quick review gives an insight into the price value of an Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti, which has dropped to around $580. Likewise, 3070 Ti now costs $700, whereas Nvidia RTX 3080 is available for a retail price of $1000. Some retailers benefited from the situation and promoted their products with soaring instant rebates or instant savings instead of reducing the costs across the board.
According to 3DCenter, retail prices of graphic cards have dropped between 12 and 19 percent over MSRP in Germany. The 3DCenter is a platform known for tracking those retail prices for a longer time than anyone. A full-time GPU hunter, Falcodrin, said users may purchase a graphic card from any SKU for the prices they would have jumped for a couple of months ago. He believes the graphic card prices will fall because when supply starts to catch up, it causes demand to fall off.
Falcodrin reveals that nobody is willing to pay now. It may be because they got their graphic cards, which were part of tax season and a fraction of low US consumer sentiment since 2008. He admitted the roughness of his business because of the cryptocurrency miners closing the shop and soaring inflation. Therefore, the partners of AMD and Nvidia may want to sell their GPUs and compete with one another to reduce the prices.
While many GPUs are still available for $200 over MSRP, nobody is offering graphic cards or consoles for double what they are worth. It is also an encouraging sign that GPUs are now in less changing hands, which suggests they are less appealing to scalpers.
