When the Gpu's prices will go down ?
- Thread starter sys6em
- Start date
This feels like a HODL.... but in reverse.
Can we keep this number's tumbling, thanks
Shall keep pushing but I don't think they will fall much more, just other brands will catch up as a lot of Asus product has sold out over night as sales have dramatically boosted with the price moves from Asus.
I understand there are external pricing pressures sometimes, but you would think these companies would have a sweet spot identified for their products where their sales volume increases with lower prices and profits hit a maximum. Maybe it's just higher than I am aware?
They have ideas but they also need a lot of pushing at least now they are responding and OcUK is been very speedy at actioning.
To be fair you've probably got the best sales data on what sells at what prices. Glad they are listening, better to sell 1000 GPU's at a discount than 10 at full price
The AIBs know that many of their buyers at the higher prices were either full or part-time miners and scalpers. They want to slowly reduce the price for the gamers that held out until they have to get the price as low as they can afford. Now the USA import tariff has ended (at 20%), plus Nvidia recently gave the AIBs about a 10% reduction. So they can realistically reduce prices by a bit under 30% in the USA (for Nvidia cards), without losing a large margin, and see how many gamers buy in at those prices before lowering prices further. Lets face it many people buy other types of products when they see sale reductions of 25 to 30%

Yeah it's a bit late for Intel. Maybe they'll push Arc to compete with Lovelace and Radeon 7000? So that would make Intel early instead of late.

OcuK are very competitive on AMD GPU pricing at the moment in comparison to other UK retailers, good to see @Gibbo.
Wonder if OcUK are first to have an AIB 3080ti at MRSP? KFA2 GeForce RTX 3080 Ti SG 1-Click OC 12GB LHR GDDR6X PCI-Express Graphics Card | OcUK (overclockers.co.uk)
With the top end and bottom end (6500xt) around MRSP we just need the midrange pricing to improve

Well both of those cards are rip offs are their respective MSRPS so thats telling why they fell so quickly.

Might have jumped on that myself if it wasn't for the paltry 2yr warranty (to go with my incoming Alienware OLED), cards need at least 3yrs imo.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future performance
You take a chance whatever. If you buy now you may find you've overpaid for much lower performance but at least you'll have something. I'll take the chance I may not get something but I will still have cash in the bank to spend later and not a very depreciated asset. You pay your money and take your choice...Past performance is not a guarantee of future performance
yeah i know that one, been at this waaaaaaaaaay too long, all the way back to pre 3dfx days. il probably give it a few more weeks and see what shakes out.
