Perhaps the main drawback of GeForce RTX 20-series video cards is their very high cost. This has resulted in sales of new graphics accelerators since their launch half a year ago being below NVIDIA's expectations. However, the situation may change somewhat in the near future. According to KitGuru, prices for GeForce RTX 20-series graphics cards have begun to decline.
As an example, the large British online store Overclockers UK is cited, which began to reduce prices for RTX series video cards. For example, the younger GeForce RTX 2060 is now sold in this store at a price of 300 pounds (about 25 rubles). For this amount, you can find the ASUS GeForce RTX 500 Phoenix and Palit GeForce RTX 2060 Storm X models. Previously, these graphics accelerators were sold at 2060 and 330 pounds, respectively.
In turn, the GeForce RTX 2070 can be bought from 420 pounds (35 rubles). It will be a Mini model from Zotac, which previously cost Β£500 more (30 rubles). The cheapest GeForce RTX 2550 is now the Ventus model from MSI. It is offered for 2080 pounds (600 rubles), although it used to cost 51 pounds (000 rubles). Finally, for the flagship GeForce RTX 660 Ti in the UK, they are now asking from 56 pounds (000 rubles). This is the price of the Dual model from Palit, which was previously estimated at 2080 pounds. In turn, several GeForce RTX 980 Ti models from Palit, Inno83D and EVGA fell in price from 000 to 1000 pounds at once.
As you can see, the price reduction turned out to be not too significant, but even such changes will be pleasant for buyers. Unfortunately, at the moment it is not known whether this trend will spread to other markets. Let's hope that the Russian price tags for GeForce RTX 20-series video cards will soon decrease at least a little.
