With the GPU industry finally stabilizing after two years of shortages and inflated costs, prices for graphicscards are finally approaching their MSRPs.
With the GPU industry finally stabilizing after two years of shortages and inflated costs, prices for graphics cards are finally approaching their manufacturer’s suggested retail prices .
Interestingly, though, Newegg has actually listed a $50 rebate on top of the price reduction, which means you can pick up a powerful AMD gaming video card for $899. If you read that last sentence before 2022, you’d automatically assume it’s either a scam, defective product, typo, or a flat-out lie. AMD, Nvidia, scalpers, crypto miners, and board partners for Team Green/Team Red all saw their bottom line increasing by a significant margin. Asus even reportedly handed out huge bonuses thanks to the amount of money it was generating from graphics cards.
So why are online marketplaces aggressively dropping the prices across the board for some of the most popular graphics cards? There are a few reasons to consider. Second, you have to remember that it wasn’t just scalpers who were selling GPUs at inflated costs. Retailers — and indeed Nvidia/AMD board partners themselves — generated significant revenue and profits due to the unprecedented demand and shortage.
Many will simply choose to wait it out before paying nearly $1,000 for any GPU when they can put that money towards an upgraded version.
