GPU Availability and Pricing Update: June 2022
GPU pricing and availability continues a super positive trend, with the crypto market pooping the bed and gamers' demand slowing due to next-gen anticipation, GPUs are readily available at retailers.

Not to be confused with DLSS, Nvidia's DLDSR (Deep Learning Dynamic Super Resolution) is a method of supersampling that renders supported games at a higher resolution than your monitor's native resolution.
As we inch closer to next-gen GPUs, we expect the current state of the market to influence what makers will charge for upcoming products. Finally, MSRP pricing has started to become the norm for GPU shopping.
We compare the Radeon RX 6600 XT and GeForce RTX 3060 head-to-head to see how these two GPUs stack up using the latest drivers in a wide range of games. Currently both of these GPUs are selling for about $400.
We test all current generation AMD and Nvidia GPUs to establish FPS performance and using that data, create cost per frame comparisons to find which GPUs are the most cost effective.
It's time for our monthly graphics card pricing update and in overly positive news, the trend towards more affordable GPUs has continued. We're inching ever closer to MSRP level pricing.
In the best scenario for AMD, the Radeon 6700 XT and GeForce RTX 3060 Ti occupy the same price point. That being the case, it'll be interesting to see how they stack up across a massive range of games.
The RTX 3070 Ti Laptop GPU is the second of two Nvidia GPU refreshes for 2022 gaming laptops. The new GPU gets close to the 3080 spec-wise, but features power options in line with the 3070.
Now that GPU prices are taking a breather and hopefully we'll see more accessible graphics cards moving forward, let's take an updated look at the battle between the GeForce RTX 3070 and Radeon RX 6700 XT.
One year of tracking GPU prices and thankfully it's no longer the same doom and gloom editions of the past. This month's update is a positive one for gamers looking to purchase a new GPU.
Have you upgraded your monitor to one with a higher refresh rate? Not feeling the difference? Here are some tips around monitor refresh rates and how to adjust these settings in Windows.
Today we're getting back to what we love doing, big benchmark comparisons. We're starting with the GeForce RTX 3080 12GB and Radeon RX 6900 XT head to head to see which rules this price point.
After many months we finally have good news to share about graphics card pricing and availability. Things are starting to head in the right direction and although inflated pricing isn't far from over yet, we're seeing the lowest GPU prices in over a year.
It's been two years since we published a best GPUs guide, and that's because for two years now the market has been in complete shambles. But things could finally start to improve. So where are we now?
The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is the fastest laptop GPU Nvidia will be offering in early 2022 gaming laptops, a minor refresh to go alongside Intel Alder Lake and AMD Ryzen 6000 processors.
Nvidia has released new drivers for Kepler GPUs addressing "multiple security threats." For Windows 7/8/8.1 grab 473.04 WHQL or 472.98 WHQL for Windows 10/11. The latest GeForce drivers for newer GPUs are on version 511.65.
Today we're checking out Nvidia's GeForce RTX 3050, a new budget GPU addition to the RTX 30 series. This release adds a new low-end Ampere offering to the lineup, based on the same silicon used by the RTX 3060.
For Nvidia, the 12GB RTX 3080 allows to significantly boost profit margins on silicon that would have otherwise sold as the original 10 GB model, enabling board partners and distributors to cash in the current market.
It's time to assess the current GPU market and see what's going on at the beginning of 2022. Throughout last year, GPU prices were the worst they have ever been, but there is some hope that this year will be better.
