AMD dropped its Radeon RX 6000 series in March last year. The cards were designed using RDNA 2 architecture to deliver stunning visuals and efficient gaming performance. The flagship card RX 6900 XT was called equivalent to NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 3090.
The card prices had initially surged due to the issue of high demand and chip shortage. However, the financial crypto markets have caused some differences.
For the first time, the average pricing for AMD’s Radeon RX 6000 graphics cards dropped below MSRP in Europe.
The German blog 3DCenter has confirmed the news after analyzing the price trends for about a year.
On average, the RX 6000 cards now cost about 92% of their MSRP in German and Austrian markets.
The price drop is a subsequent result of the cryptocurrency crash. Miners are selling off their equipment as GPU mining is no longer profitable.
There is now an abundance of GPUs in the market, and all cards are in adequate stock.
Even the Radeon RX 6800 XT, a model in very high demand after launch in 2021, is now available for interested buyers, and that too at a reasonable price.
Reportedly, the price drop might slow down eventually as the foreign currency exchange rates reach new heights for the US and Europe.
European retailers will have to resort to switching up their prices.
NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 30 series faced a 4% price drop since the last week of May, while the average price remained 2% above MSRP. However, NVIDIA will also touch MSRP in the coming weeks if the price continues to drop at this rate.
