Mid-range GPU from last-gen are getting price cuts
It was inevitable that with the introduction of GeForce RTX 4060 Ti and Radeon RX 7600 graphics cards the pricing of last-gen mid-range series needs to be adjusted. The GPU price report from Hardware.info shows exactly how the market has changed in just one month.
Their report focuses on the data from a price comparison tool for one country, which is the Netherlands. The trend should be similar in all eurozone countries.
It appears that GeForce RTX 3050 and RTX 3060 series took the biggest hit with the launch of updated models. Despite the fact that RTX 4060 Ti is in a different price range (90 EUR pricier than RTX 3060 Ti), the Ampere series urgently needed a price cut for the inventory to start moving.
All three models combined (3060 8GB/12GB and Ti) are on average 10% cheaper in June compared to last month. Interestingly, such a major price change has only resulted in a 13-16% lower price than MSRP. Over the past two years, the RTX 3060 and RTX 3070 series have been the most resilient to price fluctuations, which makes this price shift the biggest one to date.
