On May 5, foreign media VideoCardz reported that the price of AMD graphics cards overseas has collapsed completely, and it has basically fallen below the retail price. On the Newegg platform, the price of gigabyte's RX 6900XT graphics card dropped from $1,250 to $899.99 (about 5,960 yuan) and sold off-the-shelf.
In the domestic market, amD RX 6900XT graphics card has also reduced its price a lot. In the official flagship store of AMD, the RX 6900XT is sold for 9399 yuan, and if it is a JD Plus member, it can be purchased at a price of 7999 yuan. In addition, Gigabyte Magic Eagle RX 6900 XT reduced the price to 7499 yuan, and can also enjoy 95% discount and three periods of interest-free, only about 7100 yuan in hand, nearly 900 yuan cheaper than the original price.
However, the price of RX 6700XT/6800/6800XT graphics cards is still very high, hundreds of thousands of yuan more expensive than the original price, and there seems to be no intention of reducing the price. The RX6600 has been reduced to the original price, and brands such as Sapphire, Yingtong, and Dylan are sold at a price of 2499 yuan. The price of RX 6600XT is also relatively fragrant, only 100 to 300 yuan more expensive than the original price. If you have a third-party channel such as a second-hand platform, you may be able to buy it at a lower price.
Since the beginning of this year, the price of gaming graphics cards has begun to fall continuously, and the price reduction of AMD graphics cards has been relatively fast, falling below the original price very early. Although NVIDIA graphics cards have also experienced several plunges, they are still more than 20% more expensive than the original price. For example, the original price of 2499 yuan RTX3060, the current price is still more than 3000 yuan, only a few models sold to 2999. The premium situation of the RTX 3070/3080 series is even more serious, and it is necessary to wait for a while if you want to buy at the original price.
The reason why the AMD RX 6900XT has dropped prices so quickly may be that the card is positioned high and expensive, and the market demand is not very strong. At the same time, there is also the possibility that AMD will give way to the new card RX 6950XT. Not long ago, it was rumored that AMD's new generation of graphics cards is about to be launched, and the performance has been slightly improved compared to the original card, but the same starting price of the old card has been maintained.
WccfTech broke the news that AMD's 6X50XT series graphics card GPU core remains unchanged, but will enhance graphics card performance by increasing the graphics card frequency and TBP. Currently known to include 6650XT, 6750XT and 6950XT models, the game frequency increased by 50 ~ 85MHz, TBP power increased by 20 ~ 35W, is expected to be released on May 10.
With the release of AMD's new card, the price of the old card may fall further, and friends who want to buy a graphics card can wait. If you are not in a hurry, perhaps 618 will be more suitable for starting.
