Graphics card prices: The outgoing generation will be even more expensive in the end 150 comments

Nvidia and AMD introduced new GeForce and Radeon graphics cards at CES. So surely there are some good deals possible in the sales for the older generation after they largely failed to materialize on Black Friday? Not at all, as the market prices of current models from Nvidia, AMD and Intel show.

Graphics card prices have recently increased again

The following table shows a selection of models from the three manufacturers and their best prices in a price comparison over time. The lowest prices for goods in stock according to the price comparison are taken into account – without offers on eBay.

Compared to early December 2024, only one of the graphics cards listed below has become cheaper in recent weeks. We are talking about the Radeon RX 7600 XT (test) with 16 GB of VRAM, now available for purchase from 329 euros. All other models have become more expensive or have at least maintained their December prices. This may come as a surprise given the impending changing of the guard, but Nvidia in particular apparently prevented the price drop in time by halting production. This is particularly visible with the outgoing top model GeForce RTX 4090 (test), which is now only available from around 2,700 euros. Since summer 2024, the surcharge exceeds 56 percent.

In July, the graphics card was available from 579 euros and in December it was barely more expensive at around 599 euros; However, it now costs at least 659 euros. The recommended retail price has now been reached again – yours and thus also that of the successor GeForce RTX 5070. If you are currently looking for a new graphics card, you should be very careful not to pay more than for the old generation. are supposed bargains for the more powerful newcomers.
