As we enter September, the prices of AMD and NVIDIA GPUs are in freefall and are expected to drop further in the coming days.
NVIDIA and AMD GPU prices continue to drop below MSRP, with the RTX 3090 series dropping below $1000 for the first time!
Last week we informed How AMD and NVIDIA partners were willing to offer even bigger discounts and rebates on their existing inventory to clear their inventory and get ready for the next generation of GPUs. Graphics manufacturers have failed in their first attempt to move GPUs in any decent amount, but a second round that will be even more brutal than the first in terms of price cuts is expected to hit retail this month, and we’re already seeing signs of that. .
As of writing this piece (03/09/22), several NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti and RTX 3090 graphics cards stumble below $1000-$1100. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card is available for the lowest price on Newegg. 959.99 USD, a 36% reduction from the MSRP of $1,499 and the first time the series has dropped below $1,000. Meanwhile, the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti is now available at retail 1099 USDThat’s a whopping 45% reduction from the $2,000 MSRP.
Even the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, which dropped below $900 a few weeks ago, is now selling for that price. 799 USD, a $100 drop since our last price article. That’s 33% off the card’s MSRP, which was originally set at $1,199. You can even find the RTX 3090 for sale on Newegg 928.99 USD. You can even find the RTX 3080 Ti listed for the lowest price at BestBuy 739.99 USD.
NVIDIA isn’t the only one affected by the price cuts, as AMD’s Radeon RX 6950 XT and RX 6900 XT have significantly lower MSRPs. The RX 6950 XT is also down $1,000 from an MSRP of $1,099 to $949, while the Radeon RX 6900 XT remains priced at $699, down from a retail price of $999.

Already Baidu Forums, we can see price updates every day with several high-end cards now selling for 35-45% below their MSRPs. With an MSRP of RMB 14,999 (US$2,173) in China, the RTX 3090 Ti is currently priced at RMB 7,799 or US$1,130. The RTX 3090 and 3080 Ti have seen similar price drops, and the rest of the group is currently selling for 10-15% below MSRP. In the AMD camp, along with the RX 6900 XT, which saw a 40% price cut compared to MSRP, the other bundles are 20-30% below MSRP, which is a bigger price cut than NVIDIA in the mainstream segment. .
If you think these are the lowest prices these cards will ever hit and now is a good time to get a new graphics card, I’d advise you to hold off on buying any further as prices continue to drop and rumors increase. with a potential RTX 40 series launch in a few months, you could see the RTX 3090 selling for less or even $500.
