Heck, some manufacturers are even making a show of reducing the prices of their GPUs, such as ASUS.

While there may be a bit of wiggle room for companies to up the price ceiling, that's not a greenlight for them to gouge by voluntarily engaging in the astronomical price hikes the 30 series saw at certain points across 20. 'We could anticipate new GPUs at similar price points to existing products but offering higher performance, as it's not clear that the market would support significantly higher price points - especially at the top of the price stack,' Priestley stated. And consumers' desperation for GPUs has proven a monetary force to be reckoned with, highlighting more reasons for the big graphics card producers to up their fees a bit across the board. It makes sense that even if pricing does see a spike compared to last-gen's offerings, competitive MSRPs are still going to be the trendsetting factor. While hard to put a range, we're expecting prices to be higher than the 30 series but competitive against AMD's RDNA 3 GPUs, which by all accounts, are expected to be launched earlier.' 'While inflated prices were an issue for the RTX 30 lifecycle, the market did witness a segment of gamers who were willing to pay much more than the MSRP for graphics cards such as the 3070, which could further incentivize NVIDIA to slightly increase the MSRP across the range of its RTX 40 series. 'Given the upside of close to about two times in terms of performance that the RTX 40 series potentially provides, prices of the 40 series will be likely to reflect the tech upgrade,' Vaid said.

Vaid and Priestley had similar thoughts on where NVIDIA may land when it comes to setting MSRPs for its latest cards. What with the wild ride the 30-series cards have had with regards to pricing, many are wondering what kind of damage the 40 series will do to wallets. 'Next-gen GPUs will no doubt use new process technology which will deliver more chips per wafer and hence increased availability,' Priestley stated, noting that a new line with better production output capabilities could mitigate the current situation affecting NVIDIA's graphics cards. However, when it came to the per-wafer chip output angle, he expressed optimism without mention of the potential caveat Vaid addressed. 'NVIDIA plans to tap TSMC's 5nm process technology for its RTX 40-series cards - the move by both NVIDIA and AMD to launch new GPUs that make use of this technology will start putting additional pressure on TSMC to expand capacity of its 5nm-enabled fabs and prioritize high-margin products,' Vaid stated, highlighting one of the factors that may interrupt the process of getting consumers' appetites satiated.Īlan Priestley, Gartner Research VP, mentioned similar points to Vaid, including how AMD and now Intel with its Arc line are putting pressure on NVIDIA to stay current.

Vaid pointed to these items when mentioning how RTX 30-series cards aren't in as dire of a pricing situation as they were in 2021. This is thanks in large part to giants like Intel and TSMC upping their output to try to catch up with demand.
