News GPU Prices Fall After Nvidia Announcement, Ethereum Merge

[Admin]

We look at graphics card price changes at retail and eBay over the past week, right after Ethereum's Merge and in the midst of the Nvidia RTX 40-series Ada Lovelace announcement.

And if you can't wait to get the best of Ada, the liquid cooled MSI Suprim RTX 4090 has been listed at B&H for the better part of $1700.

Sign me up for two! Oh, wait... no SLI. 🤣

Prices are coming really slowly and in Europe they are not coming down at all
So maybe next year...

Currently the best deal is the 6900 XT which can be had for $699 on Amazon.

Depends on what you're after, but 6900 XT isn't 3X faster than RX 6600, so it's actually not the best bang for the buck. In fact, if you want to play with eBay prices and include previous generation GPUs, the RX 5500 XT 4GB is the best value at around $85, or 0.3772 FPS/$. Next is RX 5700 XT at $198 and 0.3727 FPS/$. Third is RX 5600 XT for $166 and 0.3501 FPS/$, The RX 6600 finally shows up at $203 and 0.3283 FPS/$. Where does the RX 6900 XT rank with an eBay average price of $644? It's in 49th place out of 65 GPUs, with only 0.2014 FPS/$.

The worst values are the GT 1030, RX 550, and GTX 1630, incidentally, which are in the 0.1 FPS/$ range. Titan RTX and Radeon VII come next, followed by the 3090 Ti, 3090, and 6950 XT.

Nah... Just as they start to drop along comes the new mega-expensive RTX 40 series to push the prices up again

I feel your pain. Prices for some models here in Australia are actually going up. But then the A$ is plummeting so I guess that doesn't help.

I don't know if quoting prices from eBay at this point is worthwhile. Given eBay''s reputation as a scalpers haven it's probably not the place most informed people would be buying cards from, particularly with the risk of being sold an ex-mining card advertised as new.

The only GPUs I’m seeing that match this chart are used GPUs. New ones are still selling at or close to MSRP on eBay.

Out of curiosity, how does the A380 stack up?

Delivery of mine was delayed until today, so I haven't had a chance to mess with it yet.

Out of curiosity, how does the A380 stack up?

Delivery of mine was delayed until today, so I haven't had a chance to mess with it yet.

In terms of bang for the buck? #46 of the 65 tested GPUs. Arc A380 at $140 only delivers 0.2023 FPS/$ (that's at 1080p Ultra, I should note). Here's a screenshot of the full "hierarchy" but sorted by performance. The "Value Rank" column is perhaps what you're after. Efficiency Rank is also interesting, while "Value+Eff Rank" is more a hypothetical combination that I was trying to figure out to show a meaningful "overall best" option — I wouldn't pay much attention to is. LOL.



I should also note that the GT 1030 and RX 550 have "fudged" performance, as I didn't test them at 1080p ultra. I just took the 1080p medium score and divided it by 2.5, which might actually be generous. So if you want 1080p Medium "value" it changes to this:



1440p and 4K would require removing a bunch of cards that I didn't test at 1440p and 4K (because they don't make sense at those resolutions), so I'll leave that as an exercise for the interested parties. But if you want the raw data...

Not as bad as I thought. Would be much worse at the higher price point for the Gunnir model. Look forward to seeing the A770 on here.

If it will run in fanless mode while just doing video playback, it gets to stay.
