Video card price drop seems to have started, but recommended retail price is still a long way off – Computer – News

The hopelessness for those looking for a video card seems to be over: the prices of video cards are falling. The cheapest RTX 3070 in the Pricewatch is already 300 euros cheaper than it was at the beginning of June. Why is this suddenly happening, and will the decline continue?

In mid-March, Tweakers published a extensive background article about the rising prices of video cards. At that time, the RTX 3080 that we took as an example already cost 1400 euros, but in April and May 2300 euros was a ‘normal’ price for an RTX 3080 that was in stock. Most RTX 3070s stabilized around 1350 euros, but the small stocks were usually gone in no time.
