Microcenter Offers $100 Steam Gift Card On All NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Purchases 1

Microcenter is offering a $100 Steam Gift Card with all purchases of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 series graphics cards.

MicroCenter has started offering a brand new promotion where users buying an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 series GPU or a custom model from its partners will receive a $100 US Steam Gift Card. It's currently offered across the entire GeForce RTX 40 lineup and adds $100 US in value to the cards. So if you were buying a $599 US RTX 4070, it would technically cost $500 US since you have $100 US in Steam Gift cards that can be used to purchase games that you want to play on your brand new graphics card.

Users who are not interested in the gift cards for Steam can sell them on websites that allow users to sell digital currency (not crypto) to online stores for either a smaller fee than the original cost or sometimes inflated, depending on the popularity of the card. An example given was if a user sold the $100 in Steam gift cards for 15% less its actual worth, the user is getting $85 that was saved from the purchase of the graphics card.

No other retailers offer this promotion, but as we said earlier in the article, foreign sellers are showing reductions in the MSRP of the RTX 40 series cards, including the new GeForce RTX 4070. It is unknown if the changes will assist with moving stock, as consumers have been hesitant from the start.

Since its release, gamers have not shown a lot of enthusiasm for NVIDIA's RTX 4070 and 4070 Ti graphics cards. NVIDIA recently launched the GeForce RTX 4070 GPU which sells for $200 less than the RTX 4070 Ti graphics card. This did not phase consumers when it came to purchasing, even though the internet was ablaze with both positive feedback and harsh comments from users and fans.

Some changes in pricing from MSRP to the current lowest pricing for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card being seen for the UK, Germany, China, and Poland are as follows:

The UK has seen a price drop to £559.99 at OCUK which is a 5% decrease versus the MSRP of £589.99.

Germany saw a shift from 649 EUR to now being 599 EUR (a deficit of 9%)

Poland was closely behind Germany, with the MSRP being 3199 PLN and now dropping to 2949 PLN (a change of 8%)

China saw the least amount of change, from 4,799 CNY to its current pricing of 4,499 CNY (which decreased by 6%)

We also spotted NVIDIA's top cards, the GeForce RTX 4090 & RTX 4080 being listed below their MSRP by US-based retailers a few days ago which you can check out here.
