According to a report from 3DCenter, NVIDIA’s RTX 30 series “Ampere” graphics cards are cheaper by 9% while AMD’s Radeon RX 6000 “RDNA 2” GPUs are discounted by 14% on average. Keep in mind that this is the aggregate of GPU prices across the German market, and doesn’t represent global market figures.
