ASUS has announced that it will be dropping the prices for almost the entirety of its NVIDIA RTX 30-series graphics card stack. The news comes on the back of finally descending channel prices for the latest GPUs, alongside the U.S. Trade Office decision last week of excluding integrated circuit boards from the added taxes in the China-US Trade War. As an ASUS representative told Tom's Hardware, users should expect an "up to 25%" price reduction to be applied throughout its RTX 30-series stack (from the RTX 3050 through the RTX 3090 Ti). Interestingly, there was no mention of AMD's graphics cards in the announcement.

After more than a year of inflated pricing, there may be a light in the tunnel - although it's becoming increasingly difficult to discern whether it's the RTX 3000-series family behind the veil or NVIDIA's next-gen solutions. No other AMD or NVIDIA board partner made a comparable announcement, but one would expect them to follow ASUS on the downward pricing trend or risk sitting in larger unsold inventories than they're comfortable with. Of course, this remains a problem for ASUS throughout the world, should the company not extend the price-cut to other regions other than the U.S.

Are they doing GTX 480/580 fermi kind of refresh. or more like GTX 280/285 65/55nm shrink. 5nm followed by a 4nm shrink 6 months later.
Better wait at least a year then to see where it goes. It goes the bates 9000 infuriation way, but still we can outsmart it.

Pretty sure they dropping the price is to get rid of inventory because new gpu is coming... most likely you'll see an announcement in august or september and new gpu goes on sale in early nov

I don't know if you've noticed, but GPUs have been a pretty hot item. Nobody has loads of inventory just sitting around.

Nvidia execs have talked recently about how they expect the supply situation to improve every quarter this year. Perhaps Asus is anticipating more supply alongside a price cut from Nvidia (which has been rumored), and when you add the new tariff exemptions, means they can meaningfully cut prices. The supply will have to be quite a bit better in order for cards to actually stick around on store shelves at lower prices, but Intel may soon help there in the midrange, at least.

The model(s) i still have on my wishlist are still pretty high here in the netherlands.

Asus Rog Strix 3060 Ti - €699
Asus Rog Strix 3070 - €799

Believe the lowest for the 3070 Strix was €700 at launch.

3070 Noctua Edition is currently €784, which seems a steal. Shame the shroud is brown tinted as well.

While availability has gotten better recently, I don't think they need to drop prices to clear out stock. It's moving pretty decently at current prices. (I don't like it and am not defending it, just stating they way it is)

Just like when US sanctioned electronics from China and suddenly we saw worldwide price increases.

Agree. Feels just stupid to push out another extra expensive halo SKU when people are already waiting for the next generation GPUs.

I guess that 3dmark players will still get those though by sponsors.

I'd rather go for the Strix then and deshroud it, and get two Chromax fans instead.

Wich is still my plan, but it's most likely gonna be a 4000 series card.

Need to see prices, reviews, deshroud compatibility etc etc. Heck who knows what the 3070 price will by by that point.

This is all I hear from ASUS:

ASUS: Prices are dropping up to 25% after April first from the RTX 3050 through the RTX 3, zero....niner.....zero....Ti
Me: I can't hear you, you're trailing off and did I catch a niner in there? Were you calling from a walkie-talkie?
ASUS: It was a cellphone.
Me: You know what? Don't. Not here, not now.

For some reason I just don't believe them. If memory serves me right, weren't they the first to jack prices and other AIBs followed suit?
