Sources in the graphics card supply chain warn that the RTX 30 series will continue to see strong sales, while Nvidia has yet to complete the rollout of its RTX 40 “Ada” series.
Nvidia RTX 30 series drops in price in February
RTX 30 graphics cards are dropping in price, while Nvidia continues the process of releasing the RTX 40 series.
Typically, the next RTX 40 releases will replace the RTX 30 series, but this is not going to happen until well into 2023.
All RTX 30 series graphics cards have recently adjusted their prices. In February, compared to January, the prices of the RTX 3070 Ti, RTX 3070 and RTX 3060 Ti models have been reduced by about $50. The GTX 1650 also saw a price drop of between $20 and $30.
According to sources, the RTX 3070 Ti will be the most popular graphics card in the series, while the RTX 3070 may soon be discontinued to boost sales of the former. The RTX 3060 and RTX 3060 Ti models will continue to be sold, but the 3060 Ti will be replaced by the variant with GDDR6X memory.
Other models mentioned that will continue to be sold are the “old” GT 1030 and GT730, two ultra-low-end models for PCs that have no video output other than a discrete GPU.
