Graphics card arrival price reduction! Some have even fallen below last year's double 11 offer! Many small partners who have been holding coins for a long time can check what the price of their favorite graphics card is now, and whether they have reached the psychological price point that can be sold. From entry to high-end, from upgrading to new outfits, friends who like games can be prepared. However, to welcome the new graphics card, there are some things to be noted, otherwise it is inevitable to suffer losses and regrets.
First of all, the price is reasonable or unreasonable, we have to refer to the recommended price given by GPU manufacturers, after more than a year of repeated tossing, are we about to forget this "original price"? Let's take a simple inventory, the N card model is more, A card does not necessarily have the corresponding price point of the product. Of course, this price is for the most simple "cai version" graphics card, luxury cooling, overclocking, RGB lighting effects and other additional configurations are definitely to charge extra money.
It should be noted here that some GPUs launched slightly later obviously referred to the actual situation of the graphics card at that time when formulating the proposed price, so the pricing was obviously a bit too high compared to the previous model. For example, most of the configuration and actual performance of the RTX 3080 12GB are much worse than the RTX 3080 Ti, but the pricing is the same as the RTX 3080 Ti. In addition, the official price correspondence of some A cards is also a bit high, the performance is barely benchmarked, and the light chase is certainly not as good, so it always feels "cost-effective".
In fact, don't worry, because the graphics card manufacturers themselves are very clear, such as the market price of RTX 3080 12GB is closer to RTX 3080, worse than RTX 3080 Ti. As for the A card, look at the actual sales price, you will also find that the market is very "honest", such as the reference price is exactly the same RTX 3060 Ti and RX 6600 XT, the actual price difference is quite large. If the price reduction continues in the future, I believe that it will also maintain the current price positioning gap.

In addition, Xiaobian recommends that small partners confirm the evaluation and conference information that affects decision-making before shooting, because some of them are likely to be mixed with the effect of frame rate optimization technology. For example, at the press conference of RX 6500 XT, the data that can run to about 80FPS is based on FSR technology, hoping that the picture quality is perfect or in the AAA game that does not support FSR technology, the actual frame rate is mostly 40FPS ~ 60FPS, and the super game such as Cyberpunk 2077 cannot be played at all.
The most troublesome thing is that many graphics cards are priced due to insufficient supply or special needs, and after the price of higher-end graphics cards has been reduced, they are very close to the price of higher-end models. Just look at these graphics cards of the small partner, is it gritting their teeth to the high-end enough or risking another price increase and so on? It's time to discuss with your wallet or see your luck.
