NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Sees Price Cuts in Europe Just Hours After Launch
NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4060 Ti mid-range graphics card saw its first round of retailer-level price cuts mere hours into its market-availability (starting May 24). The card was seen starting at 439€ (including taxes), but quickly saw its price trimmed by 20€, down to 419€, in what could be very early signs that the card isn't exactly flying off the shelves. Our reviews of the RTX 4060 Ti show it to be barely matching up to the previous-generation RTX 3070 (a card that it was expected to beat), and the prospect of a 439€ graphics card for 1080p gaming, when a 4K-capable Sony PlayStation 5 can be had for around 449€, isn't going down well with gamers. The Comments sections of our reviews show readers to be agitated, to say the least.
A generational performance uplift trend has been for a graphics card from a particular market segment to match or beat the graphics card from a segment above in the previous generation. The RTX 4060 Ti, for example, should be matching the RTX 3070 Ti in performance, while the upcoming RTX 4060 should be matching the RTX 3070. This doesn't seem to be happening, and the RTX 4060 Ti is being offered at the same launch MSRP as the RTX 3060 Ti, which at launch beat even the enthusiast-class RTX 2080 from its preceding generation.

Damn, nom nom
But if it falls at 3060 ti prices, I'll choose this over 3060 ti or 6700 xt.

You can't realisticly expect shops to lower prices after only a few hours based on sales performance.
More likely: they adjusted prices based on their counterparts prices to be more competitive than them.
4060 ti FE is out of stock btw
This is a reminder incidentally that the later 3060 Ti versions have GDDR6X memory.
without any promo
4060Ti at my Micro Center start at $399. A total of 99 cards are available. 30 of them are $399, all rest are upwards of $460.
3060Ti at my Micro Center start at $409. A total of 104 cards are available (not including a handful of open box ones). 18 of them are $409, the rest of them are upwards of $499.
I don't think Micro Center is going to clear out their 3060Ti stock at these prices when the 4060Ti is priced slightly better or at the same price. Seems strange they aren't dropping the 3060Ti by a about a $100 to try and blow the inventory off the shelves.
Free shiping - Tax 21% inc
(419€ /1.21) / 0.9317 = $372 at launch day
Since there were no Super skus with the 30 series, my assumption is that those were a one-time run. Just my opinion, but I could be wrong. I am curious, what makes you think otherwise other than yields?
A refresh could mend this issue, assuming Nvidia can do something about the memory support.
