by The GPU market is slowly recovering from a tough time of shortages and rising prices, and now the cost of Nvidia cards is coming down in the UK.
After more than a year of disappointments, PC enthusiasts and gamers struggle to acquire new Nvidia or AMD products without having to pay much more than MSRP, it looks like the market is starting to recover. There are already reports that graphics card supplies are improving and prices are starting to come down, and now it looks like the green team has a few GPUs being sold by retailers in the UK at discounted prices.
According to a recent report from PC Gamer, the cost of Nvidia RTX 30 cards has come down, with places like Overclockers and Ebuyer putting inventory on their website at more reasonable prices. As an example, the Inno3D RTX 3070 Ti X3 8GB is currently on sale for £630 at the time of writing, or around $820. The report goes on to say that there may be more deals on the horizon, so it’s worth keeping an eye out for any potential customers in the UK looking for a new graphics card.
The news seems to be positive by all accounts. Earlier this month, an analyst said that Nvidia and AMD’s prices will inevitably fall, and while much of what’s on the market is still about MSRP, the fact that prices continue to fall is a trend that has been noticed for a few. weeks now. This will be a huge relief to anyone who remembers last summer’s prices peaking at 300% above retail value and supplies were at all-time highs, thanks in part to cryptominers buying up inventory. wholesale and the ongoing pandemic causing an increase in demand.
While last year Intel said the semiconductor shortage could last until 2023, things are already starting to look up, which will be good news for the blue team, which is about to to enter the GPU market with its Arc desktop cards coming this summer. Some may be understandably suspicious, but if this trend continues, it looks like things will return to normal perhaps sooner than expected.
It will also be good for the future of graphics cards. With AMD announcing the RDNA 3 architecture and Nvidia looking to launch the RTX 40 series this year, the industry is moving into the next generation. We don’t know how things will turn out, but if Nvidia continues to do business for its RTX 30 cards, it will mean that more people can buy their products and hopefully those from other manufacturers as well.
