Welcome back to ourmonthlyGPU pricing update.
We’ll break all of that down in a moment.
We hope you’ve read the full reviews of these products for our detailed insights.
Essentially, these are two distinct cards.
Consequently, the response from GPU enthusiasts largely aligns with our observations.
From our sources, theRadeon 7800 XTis among the most sought-after graphics cards from this generation.
While it hasn’t set record-breaking sales, it’s undeniably one of the more notable launches this year.
Nevertheless, stock availability and pricing are gradually stabilizing.
In stark contrast stands the Radeon 7700 XT, which hasn’t seen as much enthusiasm.
As highlighted in our reviews, its value proposition isn’t compelling.
This presents several interesting observations.
This might imply that Nvidia is realizing a sizable profit from each 4070 sold.
Moreover, Nvidia is actively tracking competitors and adjusting their offerings to appeal more to customers.
TheRTX 4070shifts from being 20% pricier to only 10% more so.
For the most part, the RTX 4070 remains the less performant product.
It’s understandable that it would be a popular choice when the 4070 was 20% more costly.
The only two Nvidia GPUs maintaining their original prices are theRTX 4090and theRTX 4070 Ti.
As most suspected, this rationale lacked substance.
Reviewing AMD’s current generation reveals minimal variation.
Both new GPUs debuted at their MSRP, with pricing for other models consistent with previous months.
Intel’s Arc series, comparable to AMD GPUs, hasn’t seen significant price shifts since last month.
TheGeForce RTX 3070and3070 Tiare becoming rare, and we anticipate they will soon be unobtainable (new).
TheRTX 3050at $225 is the most affordable Nvidia GPU.
TheRadeon RX 6600is also a notable deal at $200.
Wrap Up
And that’s the current state of the graphics card market.
We haven’t noticed major adjustments for cards in the $800 tier and above.
That’s the beauty of competition.
Right now you could certainly make a case to go for either team around this price.
Justifying theRTX 4060, even slightly below the MSRP, is challenging.
