Video cards are entering a period of strong discounts.
The GPU trading price in the market is trending down significantly recently. And while a number of big names in the market such as AMD, Intel or Nvidia … have yet to make any statement regarding this trend, Asus, in a statement to Tom’s Hardware, has confirmed it will reduce. Graphics card sales up to 25% on Nvidia RTX 30-series GPUs starting from April.
Asus explains that the reason for this decision is due to the reduction of tariffs on US imports from China. As follows:
“Due to the latest tariff lifting order that has just been officially imposed by the Office of the United States Trade Representative on imports from China, the gaming community and PC enthusiasts will witness a sharp decline in the list prices of the ASUS GeForce RTX 30-series graphics card models, starting from April 1, 2022.
The price adjustment plan will be applied directly to low-cost GeForce RTX 3050 and RTX 3060 graphics cards, mid-range RTX 3070 and RTX 3080, and high-end RTX 3090.
Consumers can expect price reductions of up to 25% for various products in the near future.”
Strangely, however, the Asus representative, who provided the information to Tom’s Hardware, did not mention the Radeon line of cards at all, even though the Taiwanese manufacturer is also a major AMD AIB partner. So at the moment, it is not known exactly whether the above discount plan will be applied by Asus to the upcoming Radeon GPU models as well as the upcoming Intel Arc.
In general, there is still no concrete sign that the supply from the GPU market will soon be able to meet the needs of users. Currently, new graphics cards are generally still a very difficult item to buy, and often out of stock at many retailers. Therefore, the prospect for the VGA selling price to be stable and “reasonable” is still a big question mark.
