In the past two years, due to virtual mining and shortages in global supply chains, the graphics card market has suffered an abnormal premium, so that it has become the most expensive part for users to install. In recent times, the graphics card market can be described as a daily market, especially NVIDIA's GeForce RTX30 series graphics cards, non-public products of various manufacturers are not only well supplied, and even some models have fallen below the official suggested retail price at the time of release.
Speaking of the initial offer price, do you remember when the GeForce RTX30 series was released? 18 months ago, to be precise, it was September 2020, a year and a half ago.
A few days ago, NVIDIA launched the "Restocked and Reloaded" promotion on the overseas official website, listing a full range of RTX 30 graphics cards, from RTX 3050 to RTX 3090Ti and other models, including public and non-public products, and can directly click to the purchase link. Take the public version of the RTX 3080Ti as an example, you can jump directly to the BEST BUY OFFICIAL WEBSITE TO BUY, priced at $1999.
There are even products from machine manufacturers that appear on the page, including Digital Storm, NZXT, Cyberpower and other manufacturers' products, and the models are very rich.
Although the official website of NVIDIA has not launched this activity synchronously, a number of AIC partner manufacturers have adjusted the price in various channels, such as the RTX 3080 Ti graphics card on the Jingdong Mall, and some models have achieved a price of about 8000 yuan, which is lower than the recommended retail price of 8999 yuan when it was listed.
Products that have been on the market for a year and a half should have entered the discount promotion period, and now they are actually taking "replenishment on the shelves" to do marketing, is it a bit ironic?
The truth is that the RTX40 series is already on the way, and the inventory of the RTX30 series is not much.
