As part of its Q1 2024 financial report, AMD highlights that a decline in its 'Gaming' revenue is due to lower sales of its Radeon GPUs.

    Is this the event that triggers the prices coming back down to Earth?

    Spoiler, probably not.

    Try as AMD might to break the stranglehold Nvidia has on the GPU market

    They’re not trying. They knew $1000 was the absolute most they could get away with charging without having literally 0 market for the 7900xtx. And they fully knew nobody was going to buy the XT for $900. They saw Nvidia taking advantage of customers and said “hey we can do that too”.

      I picked up the 7900GRE for $550 and have been pretty happy with it. I don’t have much of a reference because I came from a GTX 1080 but even then the 7900xt and xtx didn’t seem worth it. I actually went for a 7800xt at $500 but I figured 10% more price for 10% more performance was worth it to me since I plan to keep it for awhile.

      In addition to them still trying to one-up nVidia on who can cost the most, a bunch of people bought GPUs during covid. Vast majority of people aren’t due for an upgrade yet. I have a 6800 XT and haven’t glanced at a new GPU yet. No real point yet.
