![]() AMD Link game streamingNvidia has GameStream, Valve has Steam Link, and AMD has AMD Link. The system has been updated with support for Apple TV and Android TV. We hope – all of this is crystal ball gazing to some extent, of course.Like Steam Link, AMD Link enables PC users to stream games to other devices. The not-so-bad news is that at least for the near future, there are still likely to be certain GPU models that do continue to fall in price, so there’s still time to snap up a bargain in the shorter term. Time will tell, but what these latest stats from Tom’s effectively do is underline that the recent speculation on pricing has been proven right, by and large, and it’s another reason to perhaps suspect the worst may be coming for gamers looking to buy a graphics card. When we also consider the developments elsewhere in the GPU sphere this week – with Nvidia supposedly near-halting Lovelace production, and looking to use chips to sell AI boards, rather than GeForce cards – there’s the danger that a perfect storm is brewing to push up GPU prices. As we’re already seeing in some – a good few – cases. ![]() And the worrying thing is, MLID has called it that this is likely the bottom of the market for graphics cards – and prices are only likely to go up from here. Of course, the best deals (and indeed most deals) weren’t around until the actual days of the Amazon sale (after the figures were compiled).īroadly, this does seem to be a sign that the rumor mill is right on GPU demand starting to tick steadily upwards. Tom’s does observe that Prime Day deals may have had an effect on July's prices, but adds that given the data is drawn from the start of July, not all of the past month’s pricing will be affected by this. Of course, these last-gen graphics cards are likely to start running thinner on stock before too long, anyway. (Also, funnily enough, the RDNA 3 flagship just appeared, for the first time ever, in the Steam hardware survey rankings). That’s pretty much reflected in Tom’s price monitoring here, as is the observation of increased sales for the RX 7900 XTX – which has risen in price. Indeed, MLID observed that while there are still some price drops happening, some last-gen graphics cards for both AMD and Nvidia are starting to really shift – and therefore are rising in price. Namely that during July, retail sales picked up and gathered some momentum throughout the month, as noted by YouTube leaker Moore’s Law is Dead (MLID). These findings pretty much tie in with what we’ve been hearing on the grapevine lately. Intel’s Arc GPUs are down in price considerably, with the A770 in particular leading the charge, having dropped a hefty 13.2%.Īnalysis: Another ominous hint of things to come? Yet the RTX 3060 is up by 7.7% (and the 3060 Ti has risen by 4.7%), plus the RTX 3080 Ti has witnessed the biggest jump in price of all these GPUs – it’s up an eye-watering 14.2%. The RTX 3090 Ti is down by 8.4%, and the RTX 3080 12GB has fallen by 6.5%, with the RTX 30 Ti dropping by 7.3% and 9.4% respectively. RTX 3000 graphics cards are mostly falling in price. However, the RTX 4080 is headed in the opposite direction – this GPU has risen by 10% over the past month. The exception here is the vanilla RTX 4060 which is down a lot more, experiencing a 6.7% drop. Current-gen Lovelace GPUs are mostly down, but only very slightly – by 1% to 2% for RTX 40 models (which is good news, as the RTX 4070 is currently top of our best graphics card list). Turning to Nvidia, we see that again there’s something of a mixed picture. There are fallers with RDNA 2, as well, though, including the RX 6800 which has dropped a beefy 8.3%, and the RX 6700 XT which is down 8.6%. AMD’s RX 6750 XT has risen by 9.4% as well, so that’s a trio of RDNA 2 GPUs that are up about 10%.
