According to the news of December 15, according to the "Beijing Youth Daily", the public security bureau of Jiangyou City, Sichuan Province, received an alarm a few days ago that more than 50 graphics cards in an office were robbed with knives, with a total value of about 110,000 yuan. After an investigation by the local police, 4 suspects were finally locked.

At present, these 4 suspects have been arrested, it is reported that the "internal traitor" Yong mou told Wang that there are many valuable graphics cards where he works, and got the help of another Wang and Shao, repeatedly stepping on the point, buying crime tools, and then committing crimes. When Shao and Wang mou committed theft, they encountered the staff on duty, and then threatened with a knife, successfully turning the theft into a burglary, and several crimes were punished at the same time, and more than three years must be inevitable.
As an avid game enthusiast, Xiao Lei only wants to @NVIDIA CEO Huang Jenxun and AMD CEO Su Zifeng to take a look, and now criminals do not want cash jewelry for burglary and robbery, but turn to graphics cards. More than 50 graphics cards are worth 110,000 yuan, with an average of about 2,000 yuan per graphics card. According to the price of the second-hand market, it is probably GTX 1660 or GTX 1070, which is much stronger than the performance of the graphics card at Home.
This year's graphics card market is really fantastic, with many of them being more expensive than they were when they were first released, and some of the older graphics cards that have soared two or three times. Xiao Lei originally wanted to buy an RTX 3060 Ti or RX 6600 XT to play the game, the result is a look at the premium of more than two thousand, think carefully, buy a GTX 1650 Super to use it first, although the performance is a little weaker, but barely can still be used.
The main factor in the rise in graphics card prices is insufficient production capacity, and this year there has been a shortage of chips in all walks of life, and graphics cards are no exception. Some time ago, Samsung and TSMC announced that due to the price increase of raw materials in the supply chain, the price of wafers will also rise, the cost will rise, and the price of graphics cards will naturally be difficult to reduce for a while.
The secondary reason is the virtual currency, which has risen too strongly this year, resulting in many people snapping up graphics cards for mining. Under the snapping up of miners and scalpers, the price increase of graphics cards has become more serious. The problem now is that the right price of the graphics card can be reduced.
From the current situation, many countries and regions around the world are cracking down on virtual currency mining, and the price of Bitcoin has also fallen from nearly 70,000 US dollars / coin to 48,000 / piece, but the price of graphics cards has not come down for the time being.
It is expected that in the second half of next year, the capacity expansion of semiconductor companies such as TSMC, Samsung, and UMC will be completed, and the chip shortage will be alleviated, and the price of graphics cards will come down.
