For the return of our monthly GPU pricing updates, we took a short break to review the newcomers and see where everything settled. We're in store for a bumper episode as there's much to discuss.

No sale = lower prices. Good to see this after all this time. But still single digit discount.
Still ridiculously overpriced; top end shouldn't be more than $700 MSRP.

I only afraid this situation won't turn into buyers trouble. They have more than great sales in other fields. Moreover, they could turn that death of mass market or shrinkage down to few of enthusiasts in total abandon of DIY.
And no way I'm buying >1000$ GPUs ever, I've got mine 3080Ti at 700$ brand new, it was purest luck and dubious reseller, but still...can imagine rtx 5000 being the latest gpu gen ever, or starting from 1100$ for a most primitive 5050Ti

Not going to change a thing with sales. People are going broke from the cost of living.

So glad I got my 6800 in November for less then $400 ($390 - $50 = $340) with sale price just before Black Friday. It looks as though I wont be buying a new GPU in the future as the prices are still too high for me - I'm one of those who normally buys >300 cards since I don't have much need for high FPS due to not being an Competitive Gamer. So Long as I'm hitting 60fps in my games, I'm happy as that's the refresh rate of my monitor.

I reckon a survey of Techspot and HUB visitors isn't necessarily representative of the wider market.
Just look at the comment section under any article and you might notice the unusual level of sense of entitlement that's prevalent.

Can you explain -- in detail -- the algorithm and calculations you used to arrive at this figure?
The cheapest you can find a 12GB card is the 3060 at $285. So everyone is just buying a garbage 6600 at $190 with only 8GB. Must be nice being able to toss $285+ around to barely avoid GARBAGE.
So the 4070 Ti/Super, 4080/Super, 4090 and 7900 XTX shouldn't exist? And the 7900 XT should just barely have popped into existence this month? Wait, the 4070 Ti should exist now too!
If people want a better product and are willing to pay for it, why shouldn't a company give them what they want? Nvidia and AMD don't seem to be having problems selling any of these.

GPU prices are still to high. I am so glad I made the switch to AMD when I got my 6950 XT for $500 at Microcenter. This GPU is beast on 1440p. Every since EVGA dropped NVIDIA I dropped them too. No way I am paying 1k+ for a single component. These companies are getting way to greedy

the common sense one; this nonsense went into full swint with nvidia 20 series to see how much they could rip off for marginal gains.

Common sense says if they're selling a product like hotcakes at current prices, why should they feel obligated to reduce them? And given NVidia's current margins on gaming GPUs, even if they reduced their profit margin to zero, a $700 card would only drop in price by about $80 or so. Or do you believe they should sell products at a loss, to demonstrate their loyalty to you, the gamer?

Everyone of them is still a total rip-off. Imagine paying $430US for the garbage class 4050 Ti. 7600XT shouldn't be more than $250 as it's a garbage class 7500XT in reality. This trend continues all the way up the food chain: all cards with naming changed a tier higher than they should be and priced accordingly.
Skipping this gen entirely unless I can get a second hand 7900XTX for say $750AU. I'm sure next will be worse but I only upgrade every 5-8 years and can wait for second hand next gens to become available.

Why would you pay that, when you can get a 4060 for $299?

I managed to get a new 7700XT (my first AMD card) from Amazon for $340, great card for the price, it replaced a GTX 1060 6GB.
Prices need to come down a lot more though.
