This is the third report we have compiled this year.
Let’s take a look at how GPUs are priced right now, starting with mid-range offerings.
So the most affordable available card in May, in July, and the cheapest in October.
Typical pricing ranges from this minimum value, to around $20 or $30 more in most cases.
The GTX 1080 is also sitting 10% below its MSRP.
Today, it’s a much more attractive market for PC builders.
We’re using 1440p using the “Very High” graphics setting.
Using minimums does change the conversation slightly, so let’s take a look at the data.
Flicking back to July, it’s easy to see how things have changed.
Back then, the GTX 1070 was the best value buy, with AMD pretty uncompetitive with Vega.
What about if cards were priced at their MSRP?
Well it’s here that Nvidia’s RTX cards, in particular the RTX 2070, become better value.
And here’s an interesting thought experiment.
So that’s where we are at as far as graphics card value is concerned.
