Asus makes its RTX 30 series graphics cards cheaper in several countries
Several of Asus' best graphics cards are now cheaper across the board in countries such as the UK and Australia, with price cuts of between 10 and 25% on various models. While still above MSRP, this decent reduction sees cheaper graphics cards than what we've observed throughout the vast majority of the past 18 months.
We've been seeing a gradual decline in graphics cards prices throughout 2022, though Asus is among the first to feature aggressive price cuts in this fashion. The graphics card shortage could be wrapping up this year ahead of the projected RTX 40 series launch date.
From what we're able to observe through UK retailers such as Ebuyer we are indeed seeing those projected discount numbers falling by 10-25% depending on the GPU. These discounts are perhaps most noticeable on the entry-level models, with RTX 3050 prices and RTX 3060 prices at some of the lowest rates we've seen in some time.
When we turn our attention to the UK market, we're seeing far more aggressive pricing on a vast majority of Asus RTX 30 series graphics cards compared to what was witnessed throughout most of the prior year. For example, you can currently pick up the Asus GeForce RTX 3050 Dual OC for £339.99 (was £370) and the Asus GeForce RTX 3060 Dual OC V2 for £449.99 (was £530) at Ebuyer.
While still above the MSRP, albeit not by much in the former's case, these are far cheaper prices on entry-level Ampere GPUs than what we saw spiking in the summer. Back then it was far more common to see RTX 3060 graphics cards retailing for well above the £600+ mark and above.
It's a similar story with some of the mid-range graphics cards made by Asus as well, as various RTX 3070 Ti prices have come down substantially, too. The Asus GeForce RTX
