Some AIB partners of Nvidia and AMD are promoting promotions for their graphics card products. This is undoubtedly good news for PC gamers around the world. Although it is not clear when it will be purchased at a more reasonable price, we can expect a significant improvement in the market supply situation in the coming months. Previously, due to the double attack of chip supply shortage and the cryptocurrency mining boom, players have not touched the original price graphics card for almost two years.

As the cryptocurrency mining boom has declined, the price of graphics card has been steadily lowering in recent times. Although it did not quickly pull back to the suggested retail price at the start, the market supply situation was still much better than a year ago.
Previously, the premium of NVIDIA / AMD graphics cards was generally around 40%, but in some European markets, TechSpot has seen the entry-level graphics cards with a very attractive price tag of Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 / AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT.

As Chris Szewczyk pointed out on PC Gamer, some manufacturers have begun offering discounts for certain RTX 30 series graphics cards.
For example, Australian consumers may find that the Asus RTX 3080 10GB graphics card quotes (Strix/TUF product line) from retailers such as Scorptec, PC Case Gear and PLE have been as low as $1399.99.
Due to the unprecedented discount, most SKUs were sold out within hours after the price adjustment. However, for people who often want to find a bargain in eBay, the price of this butcher knife is still not optimistic enough.
Tom's Hardware noted that the price of most contemporary graphics cards has dropped by about 9% on average since February. Meanwhile, some SKUs still have inflated offers on New Eggs.
For example, the price of Gigabyte RTX 3080 12GB is $1249.99, the price of RTX 3070 Ti is $899.99, and the price of AORUS RTX 3070 is $859.99.

AMD RNDA 2 GPU is similar, among which the quote for ASRock RX 6900 XT is $1299.99, while for RX 6800 / 6700 XT / 6600 XT is $979.99 / $599.99 / $499.99.
In addition, as of the time of publication of TechSpot, the quotations of various products on Amazon are still a mess, and it is expected that it will take some time before overall consistency will be maintained.
as a reference, EVGA's RTX 3080 12GB XC3 Ultra Gaming and RTX 3080 12GB FTW3 Ultra Gaming graphics cards are quoted at $1249.99 / $1299.99 respectively.
However, due to the influence of power shortage in Taiwan, Shenzhen factories faced epidemic prevention and control, and shortage of some materials and gas supply, the price plunge is still unlikely to occur in the short term.
