There was news that graphics card prices will become rational by the end of 2021, and even reach the manufacturer's suggested retail price, and then, now the facts are telling people that they are too naïve.
Judging from the recent price trend of graphics cards, the price not only did not return to the normal price, but the price of the RTX30 series and RX 6000 series more than doubled the recommended price, and even returned to the peak of May.

From June to July, due to the decline in the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum, the price of graphics cards has fallen a lot. However, in the second half of the year, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, the coin circle re-emerged, the mining card re-emerged, the price of the graphics card rose all the way up, and the German compilerbase website summarized the prices of AMD and NVIDIA's popular graphics cards throughout the year, showing that on December 21, the price of the mining card basically returned to the peak level in May.
For example, "entry-level optical chasing graphics cards like the RTX 3060 cost more than 700 euros and the price of the renminbi exceeds 5,000 yuan, which is more than twice the recommended price."
