That’s not a rumor, that’s a fact. The price of the GeForce RTX 3080 and GeForce RTX 3080 Ti continues to drop, and in a big way. Right now we can find GeForce RTX 3080 versions with high build quality for only 778 eurosand a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is available from 1,046.54 euros. These are prices that we couldn’t even imagine just a few months ago, and everything seems to indicate that things will go even further.

A further drop in the price of graphics cards is expected over the next few weeks, and it is likely that this drop will be peak in the last week of August. It is important to keep in mind that it will not only affect the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30, we will also see a significant reduction in the price of the Radeon RX 6000, but we have focused on the generation of the green giant, because everything indicates that it is the one that has the largest accumulation of stocks in stores.

According to various sources, the latest price drop that affected the GeForce RTX 3090 and GeForce RTX 3090 Ti has the expected successso much so that both models they are close to exhaustionand once this happens, it will no longer be possible to find a new unit because there will be no exchange of supplies. The same will probably end up with the GeForce RTX 3080 and GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, in particular if both graphics cards drop from 700 and 1000 eurosrespectively

In the case of AMD, the drop in prices was more pronounced in the middle range, but less noticeable in the high range, a trend that doesn’t seem to be happening at the moment, although it will all depend on the inventory stores keep between late August and early September. If an urgent inventory clearance becomes necessary, it’s clear that prices will continue to drop, although some sources say that AMD is not willing to drop Radeon RX 6000 prices much further.

Is it a good time to buy a graphics card or should I wait?

The truth is like this It depends on your personal situation, what you need, the money you want to spend and your aspirations. If you have a graphics card that works and allows you to play in acceptable conditions, it would be ideal to wait for the next generation to arrive, but this will also depend on the money you want to spend and the scale you want. have access

I make this qualification because we should not be mistaken and think that in September or October we will already be able to buy a Radeon RX 7000 or a GeForce RTX 40. Only some models will be available, and cheaper and more interesting versions for the mid-range market, such as NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti and GeForce RTX 4060 and Radeon RX 7600 XT and Radeon RX 7600, will probably arrive only in first quarter of 2023.

I want you to be clear with this only the most powerful and most expensive models will arrive this year by both companies and that all are not confirmed to be available at a general level in October. Some may be late and also it is possible that the availability is not very goodand it the demand is very high because many people preferred to wait to a new generation. If this happens, prices could shoot up and you could end up in a tight spot.

On the other hand, if you absolutely need a graphics card and can’t wait, I recommend it that you can last at least until the end of August, because from this date the prices will be reduced even more and it is likely that you will find more than one interesting offer. In short, it’s not the best time to buy, but there are so many variants and possibilities that we cannot close ourselves off and answer with a resounding no.
