It’s Time To Bid Farewell To AMD RDNA 2 “Radeon RX 6000” GPUs, Inventory Hits Rock Bottom

AMD's Radeon RX 6000 "RDNA 2" GPUs are starting to fade from the markets as inventory levels drop to a new low. Few to no SKUs are retailing at mainstream marketplaces.

AMD's Radeon RX 6000 "RDNA 2" GPUs Face Significant Inventory Reduction, High-End Models Retailing At Inflated Prices

From a report by Tom's Hardware, it looks like we are indeed on the timeline to bid farewell to AMD's RDNA 2 "Radeon RX 6000" delight, with the flagship variants, such as the Radeon RX 6900 XT and the Radeon RX 6950 XT, entirely out of the markets, apart from few models retailing either at used marketplaces or at "hoarding" prices on some major retailers. Still, the existence of models has dropped vastly, showing that AMD's attempts toward inventory correction have done their job.

Now, for mid-tier options, users have choices, like the AMD Radeon RX 6800, retailing for slightly below the $400 mark, along with the relatively lower-end SKUs like the Radeon RX 6750 XT. Still, apart from these, it's complete silence. If consumers are opting for RDNA 2 GPUs right now, it might be challenging to get these at "bargain" prices from retailers like Amazon US and Newegg, but you can try the used marketplace route with caution, as you could potentially get a victim of fraud with used GPUs.

The reason behind this gigantic drop is simple. With the release of RDNA 3, AMD made considerable efforts to sell off the stock of the previous generations through vigorous discounting campaigns and lower production levels, which is why the models are difficult to access right now. While this is an ordinary process for companies when transitioning to newer generations, the drop in RDNA 2 availability is much faster this time, showing a formidable decrease in generational longevity.

Don't get me wrong, AMD's RDNA 2 GPUs are still worthwhile for the low-to-mid-tier segment, but with the current pricing, you can snag up an RDNA 3 "Radeon RX 7000" GPU for a few bucks over, which doesn't make the RX 6000 series a lucrative option for consumers. However, RDNA 4 news has started to hit the web, and it won't take long before AMD's next generation arrives, which means that RDNA 3 could probably face the same "demise."
