Europe GPU prices update – March 28 2024

With all the buzz about AI these days, let’s have a look at the GPU prices in Europe and check which one gives the best “bang for the buck” as YouTubers like to say.

YouTube is filled with people telling you how cheap GPUs are or that this model is the best value but unfortunately most of those people are living in the USA. Here in Europe, the story is usually different. I checked the cheapest model of each chip, and sorted them by the price per GB VRAM. The full table is available below.

The cheapest chip is Intel A770 16GB with less than 21€/GB of VRAM. Right behind it, the latest AMD RX 7600 XT with also 16GB. Then the “old” NVIDIA RTX 3060 12GB and finally the AMD RX 6800 with 16GB.

Amongst those, the NVIDIA card and the AMD RX 6800 and AMD 7600 XT are supported by llama.cpp and Ollama. For sure, the NVIDIA card will have the best support but it comes with only 12GB and on paper it’s much slower than the RX 6800.

The first card with more than 16GB is the AMD RX 7900 XT with 20GB at almost 36€ per GB. Then the AMD RX 7900 XTX with 24GB at almost 40€ per GB. The support for these cards is great.
