NVIDIA responds to AMD and its RX 5500 XT by lowering the price of some graphics cards

[Inkriql]

After yesterday's launch of the new AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT graphics card, NVIDIA is not going to cross its arms. This company expects that, as of next week, a price reduction of some graphic card model will be made. While trying to increase the availability of other models. Which are now more difficult to locate in the retail market.

The launch of the new AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT graphics cards has become an excellent opportunity that this brand has lost. To make a difference with the NVIDIA catalog and its input range. Yes, it is true that the new graphics are as powerful as the GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER in most games. When they are not clearly superior to these. But their prices are too high.

Keep in mind that the RX 5500 XT has arrived to compete with a graphic that, from the beginning, was already known to have an excessive price. But, the price of the new AMD Radeon models, come into direct conflict with the NVIDIA GeForce GXT 1660. Since many of Radeon's 8 GB models cost well over 200 euros. But they do not yield, nor by now, similar to the GeForce GTX 1660. Which are the models superior to the GTX 1650 SUPER.

NVIDIA will lower the GeForce GTX 1660 to 200 euros

Since AMD has made things so easy for them, NVIDIA hasn't thought much about it. And he plans to lower the price of his GeForce GTX 1660 range to 200 euros (currently around 230 euros). While the GTX 1650 SUPER will go down to 175 euros. And, above all, the manufacturer intends to increase the number of units that are available from this latest graphic model. Since, apparently, it is a model that is being quite demanded by users and its units in the market are scarce.

In theory, what we are commenting should begin to be implemented from next week.

We might ask why AMD Radeon has decided to put these prices on its graphs. And, in all likelihood, the answer would be that the company still has many Radeon RX 570, 580 and 590 models in the market. And, in all likelihood, they want their partners to get rid of them. If they had put the cheapest prices, it would have been difficult to do this for them. Since many of these models can currently be purchased for less than 200 euros.

Even so, it is clear that this has been a golden opportunity that AMD has lost, to make a difference again with NVIDIA. They already did well once the play, when they presented the Radeon RX 5700 and 5700 XT. But this time, we are very afraid that the tables will turn. And NVIDIA will continue to be the brand that dominates the entire range of PC graphics cards.
