On March 28, foreign media 3DCenter counted the price of graphics cards in Germany, Austria and other countries, and found that the current price of graphics cards has dropped to the lowest point in 15 months, and the price of amD and NVIDIA's new graphics cards is only 25% more expensive than the suggested retail price.
It is understood from the chart that the price of graphics cards reached its highest point in May last year, at 318% of the retail price, which is equivalent to tripling. After July last year, the price of the graphics card remained at about 170% of the original price, but it was difficult to continue to fall. Since January this year, the price reduction has suddenly increased, and the current price has fallen to 125% of the original price.
Foreign media said that graphics cards may continue to maintain the trend of price reduction, and will usher in more attractive prices in May. And 618 will soon come, driven by various promotional activities, the original price or lower than the original price to buy a graphics card will become a reality, intend to buy a graphics card friends can endure for another three months.
Previously, there were media reports that the price of graphics cards in Australia collapsed, and the RTX3080Ti plummeted by 35% overnight. However, back in China, the price of graphics cards is still relatively firm. Last week, the price reduction of the graphics card was also on the Weibo hot search, but the price reduction range was only 100 to 200 yuan, which was simply not enough to see compared with the price increase.
But this is actually a good sign that the price of domestic graphics cards has begun to loosen. Xiao Lei learned from platforms such as Jingdong and Taobao that the price of the Yingchi RTX3060 graphics card is 3799 yuan, which should be the cheapest one at present, and the price of some styles of ASUS and MSI has also dropped to less than 4000 yuan. However, this price is still 1300 yuan more expensive than the original price of 2499 yuan, a premium of more than 50%.
The price of high-end models such as RTX 3070/3080 is also quite high, the original price of 3070Ti is 4499 yuan, and now the cheapest is about 5499 yuan, a premium of 23%. 3080 was originally priced at 5499 yuan, and now 6999 yuan is almost available for purchase. It can be seen from this that the price reduction of high-end models is more obvious, and the premium is not particularly high. However, the price of the graphics card itself is relatively expensive, and the people who are really interested in buying it are estimated to be not particularly many.
Everyone is more concerned about the price trend of low-end graphics cards such as RTX3060, RX6600XT, etc. In fact, on the second-hand platform, RX6600XT can already be bought at the original price, and RTX3060 is much more expensive than the original price, which shows that NVIDIA graphics cards are still more popular. However, I believe that it will not be too long to buy at the original price, and everyone continues to wait patiently.
