[CNMO Tech News] According to a report by overseas media EXTREME TECH, there are signs that Nvidia may be taking measures to lower the prices of its RTX 50 series graphics cards, especially in the Japanese and British markets. Although the price reduction is not significant, it is undoubtedly a positive signal for consumers who have long been troubled by high-priced graphics cards.
It was understood that at a Japanese retailer, the actual price of the Nvidia RTX 5070 was approximately $20 lower than the local recommended retail price. In the UK, Nvidia itself offered about a 4% discount on this graphics card, reducing the price from an initial £539 to £519 (approximately 4950 RMB).
Although this is not a large-scale price cut, it is encouraging news for gamers hoping to see graphics card prices return to normal levels. Especially in the past period, due to the extremely high interest from gamers and speculators, the prices of many of Nvidia's graphics cards far exceeded the official recommended retail price. For example, the price of the RTX 5090 once soared to over $3000 (approximately 21,800 RMB), while the RTX 5070 Ti, originally priced at around $750, was even raised to over $1200 (approximately 8750 RMB) at some retailers.
These price adjustments do not necessarily mean that Nvidia will have a large-scale price reduction in the future, but at least they show that Nvidia and its partners are beginning to realize the need to take measures to alleviate the tense situation in the graphics card market. Additionally, with competitors like AMD's outstanding performance in the market with products such as the RX 9070 XT, Nvidia is also facing increasing competitive pressure, which may also be one of the factors prompting them to consider lowering prices.
