Been checking all the usual pc stores and OzBargain, and to my surprise there aren't any good gpu sales? Was keen to get a 6900 xt under $900, but apparently we'll have to wait till Monday. Any other people find any good deals that are close to the all time low's for the Nvidia 3000 series or AMD 6000 series?
No Good GPU Black Friday Deals?

Yeah, hoping 'Cyber Weekend' is true to the name ahah
It's looking like it won't be
Bought a sapphire rx 6750 xt for $599 from pcbyte.
Its done now and im not looking back!I did the same with a 6700, for the sake of at max another $30-40 I'm happy to have everything sorted.
Not gonna see any high end Nvidia or AMD GPU discounts for a while. They want their pricing structure to be stable so the 40 series pricing doesn't appear even more like daylight robbery. I'd probably say the same for the 6900xt. Like why pay $2100 for the 7900xt when a $800 6900xt will do you fine for the next two years.
They're clever hey, cause that's the debate in my head, wait for the 7900xt or just cop a cheap 6900xt. Hate that you might be right ahaha.
What's the point of holding prices high if no one is buying? When the 7900XTX and XT come out, nvidia will drop prices, like AMD did with the AM5 chips.
What's the point of holding prices high if no one is buying?
So that early adopters with the means are persuaded to buy up to the high end products where the profit margins are much much higher.
I doubt AMD competition will pressure NVIDIA to drop prices in the short term. The 4080 will likely be perceived to have enough additional value over the 7900XTX that enough people shopping near that price bracket will still opt to pay the extra for the RT performance, DLSS3, CUDA, + other software add-ons. AMD still have a large brand and ecosystem value gap to close. It will be interesting to see the reviews.
NVIDIA will make decisions based on total sales volume vs contracted production capacity. They have stacks of data centre & machine learning customers to soak up production capacity at the high end plus the push towards their own GPU cloud services.
Keep starving them, they're hurting across all sectors of their business - minus 25% YOY, with bitcoin, blockchain, AI DL, self driving tech all suffering mightily as "that thing the gullible idiot in the office said would go bigtime and flopped massively". If they get a black eye for black friday it can only help christmas sales.
Nvidia are hurting so much they're willing to risk a 100% markup……
I'm just hanging around for a decent 6600xt or 6700 deal to tide me over for the next couple of years. I keep on picturing my 1060 quoting Lethal Weapon "I'm getting too old for this s#%!"
It's not Black Friday yet - Black Friday is a US led promo so on Amazon, we will see the deals from Saturday till Tuesday (US Cyber Monday)
ASUS 6650 XT has already gone for US$170 (AU$250, $299 after GST and Australia tax) and other AIB's have already begun trickling deals
Be patient, the deals will come
I don't understand when you say its not black friday yet? Are you saying the deals start when its bf in USA?
I think he's saying it's probable that Amazon US will have some decent GPU deals when their region have BF sales which would be from today until Tuesday
Ah I understand now, thanks.
@LuslecGrace: I found a 6800XT for $800 and a 6900XT for like $980 on Newegg yesterday and told myself I'd buy one when I got home from work today. Didn't take into account when I saw them yesterday I was early to the party as it wasn't Friday in USA yet. Surprise surprise they're sold out, while all the other 6800XT and 6900XT stock is oddly around or way above MSRP.
@DecoAus: Tbf, after taxes and shipping, it wouldn’t be very cheap anyway so don’t be so hard on yourself
Yeah waiting for a 3080 or 6900XT deal, second hand 3080 are still going for $900ish so happy to wait
New last gen GPU supply is starting to dry up and the second hand market prices for high end last gen GPUs(3080-3090ti & 6800xt/6900xt) is already on the rise. 3090s were going for $1100-1200 last month, this month they're going for $1300-1400
The second hand market is just nuts. You've got people buying 3090's that are 1-2 years old and have been mined on that entire time and they're paying $1100.
The market is so cooked and rtx 4000 pricing locked in last gen super inflated prices. Nvidia is basically double dipping, charging way more on both gens due to the pricing of 4000 series.
We'll see what happens with AMD but I figure they'll do the same but just slightly cheaper
I've been monitoring the used market for a few weeks and it looks like prices are going up for whatever reason. Aside from the Ebay BNPL deal GPU prices seem to be holding their ground or slightly lifting too. Makes me think retailers have been informed how far away the more affordable GPU's are and have stopped offloading their stock as quickly.
Yep, I've seen this trend as well, it's a shame..I don't think it's any official word but the fact that they initially thought people would be buying the new cards so lowered prices to offload stock, then realised people don't want to pay more, so we have really had an entire new price segment created this generation and there's no need for them to lower prices as last gen flagships etc make sense at their MSRP given the price/performance of the new gen..
3090s seem to have stopped production, umart's product listing for them have been blank for weeks now. So it seems the 2nd hand market is becoming the only choice, and if you want 24gb of vram for machine learning purposes, your choices are either the 3090 or 4090.
I've been saying this would happen. People expected NVIDIA to suddenly become saints and sell $1200 4090 which was never ever ever going to happen. They're now running back to high end 30 series and driving up the used prices.
Black Friday left us. It's Cyber Monday, I don't think there will be a good GPU deal.
Its like ass this year. Might as well just cancel it all.
6600 XT has been 349$ months ago. But this one is not too far off, and if you do play the promo games then it's not bad
Monday has come and still nothing :(
Pretty much no good computer deals full stop
Pretty much no good deals overall.
Well, ended up getting the $399 from mwave. Debated going for the $479 6700 non-xt at centrecom/umart, but decided it wasn't worth the additional 20% cost for <10% performance bump. Also wanted the NZXT Flow case which mwave had stock for. Now all I need is ram, cpu (5600) and a ssd.
Yeah, deals were pretty bad.
I paid $699 from Scorptec for a 3070. Decided to just do it seeing I've been HODLing for 2 years now. Couldn't see many better deals on OZB and inflation is only going to keep on keeping on for the next little while.
Yeah i caved aswell. I got a used rx 6800 for $600, so about the same as yours. Sucks hey. Should do us well till the next gen hopefully.
No, it's disappointing. Have a feeling better deals will come soon even without BF.
