With the launch of RX 5700 (XT) graphics cards, AMD has managed to have one of the most attractive GPUs on the market. At least in terms of price / performance. The charts were first announced at E3 2019 with a price range, then downgraded just before launch.

AMD lowers RX 5700 series prices just before launch

AMD has claimed that they deliberately announced higher prices to mislead Nvidia than they had actually planned.

In the report, Scott Herkelman of AMD has claimed that the company deliberately announced higher-than-expected prices in an effort to mislead Nvidia. Specifically, with its 'SUPER' RTX graphics.

If true, AMD played it pretty well as it clearly made Nvidia respond with a relatively comparative pricing structure. A factor perhaps clearly evident now amid Nvidia RTX 'SUPER' low stock issuance claims and retail price increases.

Recall that the RX 5700 XT was introduced with a starting price of $ 449 and $ 379 for the RX 5700 model. With the price drop before launch, the XT model was $ 399 and the RX 5700 fell to $ 349.

When AMD announced the price drop, many attributed it to the launch of RTX SUPER, and in the end, it seems like the opposite.
