Analyst Says Nvidia and AMD Prices Will Eventually Plummet

gamerant.com:

Anyone who's been paying attention to the current graphics card climate over the last few weeks will know that there have been some interesting developments regarding stock levels and MSRP. With GPU prices continuing to fall, a trend that's been noticed for some time now, and supplies going up, the opportunity to purchase a new AMD or Nvidia card at a reasonable value is becoming a reality again. The market isn't quite there yet, but it seems as though there is every reason to think that things are going to keep getting better.

According to analyst Dr. Jon Peddie, President of Jon Peddie Research, it's possible that prices for AMD and Nvidia GPUs will «come crashing down» over time as gougers find themselves unable to sell on items and especially if gamers refuse to buy cards at inflated prices. There's no telling when this is likely to happen, but with the value already dropping down several magnitudes recently, there's a good chance there could be significant improvements over the next few months, even if it's happening slower than can be expected.

With March seeing Nvidia and AMD prices less than 50% above MSRP, it's looking more and more like the market is beginning to recover after what feels like a lifetime of extortionate hardware that's difficult to secure in the first place. Of course, there have been moments like this in the past which have seen prices come down only for them to shoot back up again. There's no real way to know exactly how things are going to pan out, but the analysis and consensus seems confident that gamers and PC enthusiasts will soon be able to purchase graphics cards again at the value they should be.

This also bodes well for the upcoming new generation
