Are GPU prices going up or down?
GPU Price Trend (US)
New GPUs in the US average 29% above MSRP, rising +13 pts over 3 months. Used cards are 16% above MSRP (+13 pts). This index tracks every graphics card on the comparison table against its launch price, so a new generation launching or an old card selling out doesn't distort it the way an average price would.
Median price of all tracked cards as a percentage of their launch price (MSRP), by month. 100% = launch price. 26 new and 24 used cards since Apr 2026. The used line only includes cards that are still sold new, so discontinued cards don't drag it down.
New GPU prices by tier
Budget (MSRP under $400): 25% above MSRP. Mid-range ($400–$799): 52% above MSRP. High-end ($800+): 49% above MSRP (Aug).
