During 2024, we will see an increase in the price of certain components, while supposedly in others, such as the graphics cards of this generation, we should see a drop linked to the announcement and the next release of new versions. In the case of AMDTheir best (and most powerful) graphics card they currently have is already starting to have lower prices than we could see a few months ago, reaching below MSRP in some countries.
The Radeon RX 7900 of AMD it’s a GPU which seeks to compete with NVIDIA’s RTX 4090, being the most powerful that the company has developed to date, it has managed to have a large number of users thanks to its performance, as well as its cost compared to the best graphics of the creative company RTX.
Graphics price drop
It’s generally rare to see components as expensive as video cards see such a significant price drop, to the point where they can be purchased below the recommended retail price. This is the case of RX 7900there GPU the most powerful currently offered AMDwhich saw its price drop in some countries such as the United States, where it was sold 110 dollars below the price it would normally cost elsewhere.
These types of price reductions are not new, in recent months we have seen how on certain occasions a specific model has started to reduce its price in certain stores in certain countries. In Europe we have seen this happen several times in Germany, an area where the charts could have up to a 10% lower price difference in some cases compared to Europe, which is quite a notable change , because at the same time the end of such an expensive product, such a high percentage usually represents more than 50 $ difference.
As we have well indicated, currently there is a variation in prices in the component market, some are starting to increase while others are decreasing, in the case of GPUs we can see how in Europe some models have reduced their price these last months. Although it is clear that at the moment we are not going to witness a decline like that which exists in other countries, we can see how the news regarding possible new launches affects all current generations.
Is an RX 7900 XTX worth it?
One of the things we are clear about is that to know if a graphics card that begins to drop its price so much is good, we need to know what it offers us and who it is trying to compete against directly. In this case, the high-end solution of AMD It offers great power, but in general it is not capable of reaching the height of the NVIDIA 4090, although it is clear that the difference is very noticeable especially in the price, since in the end it costs around 1000- 1500 $ less than NVIDIA’s solution.
In this case, if we could get this chart normally at a lower price than the current one in Europe, it would be worth it for the simple reason that it offers extremely high performance. But if we also buy it for $110 less, as is the case in the United States, we would have in our hands a graphics card that only presents a difference of 20-30 FPS less compared to the 4090 (most of the time exceeding 120 FPS). SPF), for almost half the price.
