Welcome again to our month-to-month GPU pricing replace. There’s bits of reports to undergo, a couple of odd GPU launches from AMD and a few unlucky worth hikes to debate. It is not all dangerous, there’s been some constructive worth changes for some merchandise, too.
Golden Rabbit Radeons
Let’s kick off this replace with a dialogue on AMD’s new Radeon RX 6750 GRE. Principally AMD has launched two “new” – and let’s use the phrase new fairly loosely right here – graphics playing cards below the identical Radeon RX 6750 GRE title, with GRE which means Golden Rabbit Version.
The decrease specced card is the 6750 GRE 10GB which is successfully a Radeon RX 6700: it packs 36 compute models with a recreation clock of 2189 MHz, together with 10GB of GDDR6 on a 160-bit bus at 16 Gbps. 170W board energy score and a MSRP of $270. Identical configuration because the RX 6700 throughout the board, simply with a brand new title and worth that extra intently matches in with the remainder of the GPU market two years later.
Then there’s the 6750 GRE 12GB which is not only a 12GB model of the 10GB mannequin. It additionally options 40 compute models with a 2439 MHz recreation clock, which means core GPU efficiency is increased. There’s extra reminiscence bandwidth, too, because the reminiscence interface is elevated to 192-bit with the identical 16 Gbps GDDR6 reminiscence. Board energy is 230W and we’re seeing an MSRP of $290.
The naming conference used right here is fairly deceptive and complicated on plenty of fronts. Using “6750” branding implies that this card is on the extent of the RX 6750 XT versus the 2 “6700” degree fashions. Nevertheless, that isn’t the case. The 10GB 6750 GRE has fewer compute models than the 6750 XT, so it is completely not the identical card, whereas the 12GB variant can also be not a 6750 XT as a result of it lacks the sooner 18 Gbps reminiscence of that GPU. As a result of these merchandise are a lot nearer to the 6700 sequence than the 6750 XT at greatest they need to be referred to as the RX 6700 GRE as a substitute.
We’re additionally seeing the horrible naming follow of labelling two distinctly totally different GPUs the identical factor and throwing “10GB” and “12GB” on the finish as if that is adequate to explain the variations between these fashions.
The Radeon RX 6700 and RX 6700 XT are totally different merchandise, that is smart. Now these have been successfully renamed into the RX 6750 GRE 10GB and RX 6750 GRE 12GB which solely serves to confuse patrons. The VRAM capability isn’t the one distinction, so they need to have a clearer branding.
Like with the Radeon RX 7900 GRE that we reviewed a couple of months in the past, the RX 6750 GRE sequence is primarily a launch for the Chinese language DIY market in addition to OEM and system integrators elsewhere. So whereas there’s a listed MSRP, it is unlikely it is possible for you to to simply buy considered one of these off the shelf exterior of China. You may in all probability have to purchase a whole pre-built system with one inside, so they are not actually going to be obtainable for $270 and $290.
Which is a disgrace, as the value tag for these merchandise is sort of engaging. Proper now the RX 6700 XT is offered for as little as $320, so the 6750 GRE 12GB would provide the identical factor for $30 much less. Equally, you may choose up an RX 6700 for $280, so the brand new GRE variant could be a $10 low cost. It is also puzzling that AMD would launch a second GPU at $270 throughout the identical yr, the primary being the RX 7600; We all know that is only a refresh of an older, last-gen mannequin, however popping out with two $270 merchandise is fairly weird.
The RX 6750 GRE 10GB is clearly higher, it has extra VRAM than the RX 7600 at 10GB vs 8GB, extra reminiscence bandwidth, and higher total efficiency if the RX 6700 is something to go by.
Why is AMD launching refreshed RDNA 2 GPUs in 2023?
It is possible as a result of they nonetheless have quite a lot of RDNA 2 silicon to promote, there does not look like any indicators of Navi 22 based mostly GPUs working out of inventory, so a refreshed sequence at a good cheaper price is presumably one technique to drum up curiosity and enhance gross sales.
In our opinion, AMD would in all probability have been higher off launching the 6750 GRE 10GB as a substitute of the RX 7600 at $270 as a brand new product (perhaps a 7600 XT) to a wider viewers, after which releasing the RX 7600 at a cheaper price, however that might mess up their line-up and introduce a scenario of getting RDNA 2 and RDNA 3 in the identical sequence on the identical time.
Restrictions on Nvidia’s AI GPUs, together with the RTX 4090
One other key story this month issues Nvidia’s flagship GeForce RTX 4090 GPU. The Division of Commerce not too long ago put export restrictions on a number of of Nvidia’s graphics playing cards that can be utilized for AI workloads, at the least these with important quantities of horsepower to take action.
Alongside the RTX 4090, GPUs just like the A100, A800 and H100 have been placed on the restricted record, with the restrictions making use of to China and several other different international locations. Which means that these GPUs can now not be bought to those international locations with out leaping via important hurdles.
Many of the affected fashions are server, information heart and workstation playing cards that customers do not actually care about, however the inclusion of the GeForce RTX 4090 is dangerous information for avid gamers. The restrictions in promoting 4090s to China and different areas has led to circulate on results around the globe.
Instantly, the value of RTX 4090s in China went up considerably, encouraging suppliers and distributors with entry to 4090s to export these to China for an enormous worth bump – supplied they will legally export them there, or discover some alternate technique to take action. This can be a related scenario to when cryptocurrency miners have been shopping for up all of the GPUs at inflated costs: if there is a important purchaser available in the market after a product at a a lot increased worth, all of the suppliers and distributors will wish to service these patrons first somewhat than the overall market.
With suppliers set to make financial institution promoting RTX 4090s to China and different restricted areas, this impacts the pricing for the playing cards in non-restricted international locations just like the US and Australia. We have been informed that costs for RTX 4090s are anticipated to extend considerably within the subsequent few months, and we’re already seeing the consequences of that at Newegg.
Within the six months previous to October, it was fairly simple to buy an RTX 4090 at its $1,600 MSRP. Now, simply days after the restrictions have been introduced, the most affordable fashions sit at $1,700 with the vast majority of playing cards reaching for $1,800. And based mostly on what we’re listening to, that is an excellent worth proper now, and it will solely go up till the scenario stabilizes.
We won’t anticipate what kind of worth level the RTX 4090 will hit within the coming months, but it surely will not be $1,600 . Fortunately different GeForce GPUs and your complete Radeon line-up are affected by restrictions, but it surely may result in elevated demand for the tier-down fashions just like the RTX 4080 and RX 7900 XTX which may consequently see smaller pricing implications.

Wanting throughout the remainder of the graphics card market there hasn’t been many updates to the GeForce line-up. The RTX 4070, each RTX 4060 Tis and the RTX 4060 all proceed to be obtainable beneath their MSRPs, making them extra engaging than at launch – particularly the RTX 4070 at $550.
This month we’re seeing some worth motion for the RTX 4070 Ti as nicely, coming all the way down to $770 for the extra inexpensive fashions. Since launch this card has been persistently priced at or above $800, making this the primary time we’re seeing the 4070 Ti beneath MSRP. In our opinion, it is nonetheless too costly at this worth level, however perhaps we’ll see additional reductions throughout Black Friday.

AMD’s Radeon RX 7000 sequence has been fairly constant throughout the previous few months. There was a small quantity of motion for the Radeon 7700 XT, dropping $10 for the most affordable fashions only a month after launch. We nonetheless count on this card to hit $400 within the coming months because it simply does not make any sense at $450. The Radeon 7600 can also be now approaching a extra wise worth, falling to $250 once we checked this month.
Intel Arc sequence is getting extra engaging with every passing month.

Wrap Up
It will be fascinating to control the graphics card market throughout the subsequent month as we head into the standard vacation purchasing season. With Black Friday gross sales simply across the nook, we would not trouble shopping for a graphics card proper now except you see one thing at an particularly good worth or low cost. Given gross sales for many GPUs have been lackluster this yr, we count on we’ll see some affordable flash gross sales pushing GPU costs extra into an “acceptable” worth vary throughout the holidays.
The one larger trigger for concern is pricing for the already costly GeForce RTX 4090. Should you needed a kind of, it is in all probability higher to hit the purchase button sooner somewhat than later. Every thing else continues to be at or close to the most affordable worth we have seen this yr, and there is nonetheless loads of room for additional worth reductions as evidenced by the latest worth drops for playing cards just like the RTX 4070 and RTX 4060 Ti.
