Galax Reportedly Preparing GeForce RTX GPU Price Cuts
A recent report published by BoardChannels points to Galax possibly implementing a broad set of price cuts across its range of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 and 30-series custom graphics card models. Insider information originating from sources within a pool of NVIDIA and AMD board partners suggests that Galax could be shaving off up to 1000 RMB (around $140) from certain Ampere and Ada Lovelace products - effective later this month in its native Hong Kong market as well as mainland China.
The article posits that GeForce RTX 4080 cards could end up becoming 1000 RMB cheaper, and popular RTX 3060 models receiving cuts of around 250 RMB (≈$35). Galax is reported to have already offered entry-level desktop GeForce RTX 3050 cards at lower prices in the latter half of May - with 140 RMB (≈$19.50) reductions. The RTX 4070 series is supposedly set to receive a measly discount of around 150 to 200 RMB (≈$21 to $28), which is likely not doing it many favors given slow worldwide uptake since the product range's launch in mid-April. Galax could be making adjustments to fall in line with rivals (in the region) who have already reduced asking prices for NVIDIA gaming hardware.

Nvidias entire lineup is $100+ too expensive at every segment, even with inflation; only gets worse at the 4090 level due to no direct competition.
GPUs aren't selling as well as they need to for stock to clear out, especially at the lower segments, because the prices are too high. Adjusting them downward is the only way to get them to leave the shelves.
"Someone is attempting to lower pricing. Find them. Eliminate them."
Nvidia's ninjas never fail to find anyone that might disrupt the racket.
