Last month, the Chinese graphics card marketplace witnessed a nine percent sales increase compared to the previous month. However, according to sources at Board Channels, there is a forty-two percent decline in sales of GPUs year to year. With NVIDIA and AMD releasing expensive graphics cards to power today’s level of graphics and more, prices are now beginning to decline between the two GPU giants.
AMD and NVIDIA have witnessed drops in GPU pricing in Europe over the last few months since both company’s releases
Graphics cards sold this month are shown to be nearly ninety-three percent higher than three years ago, according to German retailer Mindfactory. The increased percentage is speculated to be affected, at least for the moment, by NVIDIA and AMD’s gregarious price models for their current generation’s graphics cards.
For instance, AMD Radeon graphics cards, on average, cost €600. NVIDIA’s cards are higher at (on average) €825. Two years ago, AMD’s average selling price was around €305, with NVIDIA’s about €398. The price difference between the two competitors is close to €300 and €430.
Hardware Info recently reported that AMD’s Radeon RX 6000 series graphics card prices are declining, and NVIDIA, with their highest-end GeForce RTX 3090, is showing a slow decline as well, by close to twelve percent over the last month. The newer generation is seeing between a 6.2% to 6.9% reduction in cost for the consumer.

This information follows a rumor published almost two weeks ago that NVIDIA will have a limited market supply for the remainder of this first quarter of 2023. No official word from NVIDIA has been released, but it is speculated that limited production during the first part of the year, around the same time as the Chinese New Year, could be the catalyst for the shorter supply.

Dr. Lisa Su stated, “We do believe the first quarter is the bottom for our PC market — for our PC business, and we’ll see some growth in the second quarter and then a seasonally higher second half.” The AMD CEO continued, “We will go under the ship, to a lesser extent, in Q1. So I think you can infer that from our guidance single-digit down. And then, we’ll be back to a more normal environment. As a reminder, the first half is not usually a — the first half is usually a seasonally weak client time anyway.”
