Price drops have been too slow to keep up. So none of these cards scream 'buy' at the moment and we'd like to see at least another 20-30 percent price reduction before recommending you to purchase. Higher-end cards like the RTX 3080 Ti and above will need more than tier below pricing to be worth recommending, too, given their extremely overinflated launch MSRPs. What we're looking for at the very least is tier-below pricing, so the price of an RTX 3080 becoming the price of an RTX 3070 and so on.

Trying to sell an RTX 3060 for nearly $400 is madness in the current market given the supposed launch pricing of $330, which even today is basically a myth.Įven today we haven't seen enough price movement across the GeForce 30 series to say you should jump in and make a purchase. Meanwhile, the lower part of Nvidia's offerings are still significantly inflated, particularly for cards like the RTX 3060 and RTX 3050 which should be at MSRP or lower at this point. The main issue with buying an Nvidia card at the moment is that the top of the line-up are discounted below MSRP but are too expensive in the face of next-gen products that we expect to be much faster. This includes any rebates available on Newegg, but doesn't include any flash sales like EVGA selling an RTX 3090 Ti for $1,150 for a few days, although that price is still not great. Last month we did see some official price cuts for a few of their high-end models, but further price movement has been slow in August, with cards dropping by just 6 percent on average. Speaking of unattractive graphics card prices, let's look at Nvidia's line-up for the month of August based on current retail pricing. There is still a significant backlog of new GPUs yet to be sold based on what we're hearing, and current prices for many models are still quite unattractive. Nvidia GPU PricingĪs of writing this, we don't know whether any further official price cuts will be made, however it's likely that Nvidia and AMD will continue to try and sell their existing inventory at lower prices the closer we get to new GPUs, so it's definitely something to keep in mind towards the end of this month and next month. This is more of a rumor from Chinese news outlets, but it's been widely reported already.

We've also been reporting that Nvidia and AMD are apparently eyeing off further price reductions for current generation GPUs at the end of August. We believe the A380 needs to be priced closer (or at most) at $100 to become an attractive budget proposition.

Intel's GPU does have a few advantages like media encoding support and more display outputs, but the A380 isn't a good buy at $140, especially as the RX 6400 is already a pretty horrible GPU. Currently you can purchase the Radeon RX 6400 for $135, and we recently found across a 51 game benchmark that the A380 is on average 9% slower at 1080p. Unfortunately for Intel and Asrock, the A380 is not competitively priced if the $140 pricing holds true. For $140, the Asrock Challenger Arc is now up on Newegg as a backorder product, using a very basic design but that's to be expected in this entry-level segment. In the last week, Intel's Arc A380 has become available to pre-purchase in the United States ahead of its August 22 release. There are still a few horrible deals out there, a few decent buys, and of course some news to talk about in our latest GPU pricing update. We're expecting next-gen graphics to be unveiled in a few months, and it feels like Nvidia and AMD are getting desperate to sell their current stock at the highest possible price before new cards are announced. In the lead up to next generation GPUs, current graphics card prices continue to dominate the discussion.
