Hello guys,
Are we really going to see some MAJOR price cuts on current gen GPUs from both AMD and NVIDIA ? It actually appears to be the case due to "excess" inventory of GPUs right now, and the lower demand from gamers/miners as well.
According to MyDrivers who are quoting industry sources within Taiwan, and also a major Taiwanese Economic news outlet, it is stated that the current round of price cuts hasn't moved or cleared inventory in a way that AMD & NVIDIA plus their AIB partners hoped for. As such, a second round of price cuts is underway, one which will exceed the price drops we have seen so far on current-gen GPUs.
Following is the statement and quote from MyDrivers, via Machine Translation:
These new price cuts are said to take place in September and will mainly be imposed by AIBs on their existing stock of chips. NVIDIA & AMD have asked their partners, both board partners, and retailers, to get rid of excess inventory of GPUs to make room for the next generation.
NVIDIA is already working on clearing away its stock with CEO, Jensen Huang, stating that they will be doing so over the next few quarters. It remains to be seen how much price drop the current gen GPUs will get, and will it even be GLOBALLY, and not just for any specific region like ASIA, or US etc. ?
But with next-gen GPUs on the horizon how many gamers will really be willing to purchase any current-gen gaming GPU, be it from AMD or NVIDIA ? I guess, it all boils down to the extent of price cut on existing inventory of gaming GPUs. But I digress.

The sound of graphics card price cuts has been heard for a long time, but many users are not aware of it. According to the revelations of Taiwan Economic Daily, the main reason is that manufacturers are still discussing better preferential measures with dealers .
According to the latest news from Taiwan Economic Daily, the industry's destocking is not as good as expected. Graphics card manufacturers will start a new wave of price cuts from September, mainly NVIDIA and AMD products, and the price cuts will far exceed the previous efforts, which can be better to alleviate cost pressures.
