Brothers, good news for everyone.
Graphics cards that we couldn't buy in 2020 and 2021 are now starting to cut prices.
Moreover, the momentum is still very strong.
Recently, Tom's Hardware in the United States and 3DCenter.org in Germany have counted the retail prices of eBay and local graphics cards respectively.
The statistical results all show:
Most of the new graphics cards produced by Nvidia and AMD are falling in price.

Take the NVIDIA RTX 3080, the new prince of the graphics industry.
If two months ago, the graphics card cost $1773, more than 2.5 times the suggested retail price.
However, the price of the 3080 has now dropped by 11% and is no more than $1600.
Although it has not yet returned to the suggested retail price, this sign is very good.
Other graphics cards of the RTX 3000 series and AMD Radeon RX 6000 series are also in a slow decline.
It's probably down 5 to 10 percent or so.
Only the RX 6900 XT, which can't keep up with the big stream, not only did not fall, but the price increased.
Also, 3DCenter.org survey shows:
Nvidia and AMD's GPU prices have dropped to 177% and 167% of the manufacturer's suggested retail price, respectively.
In mid-December last year, the number was still 187% and 183%.
Compared with the peak of 318% and 216% in May last year, NVIDIA has fallen by an average of 44%, and AMD has fallen by an average of 23%.
In less than a year, it has fallen by 44% compared to its peak.
It feels like this speed is ok.
Moreover, there are other messages that show that the price of the graphics card will be more stable in the future.
First of all, source manufacturers have been paying attention to this problem.
Why the price increase of graphics cards has been robbed madly, is that backward productivity can not keep up with market demand.
If there are 3090 everywhere, how much is there, then who will buy it at a higher price? Right.
Although 3090 is not a Cabbage, if the supply increases steadily, the market price will gradually fall.
Previously, there was news breaking news:
After entering January 2022, the availability of the RTX 30 series will be greatly improved, and it is expected to increase by about 15% compared with December.
And didn't we say that yesterday?
Cryptocurrencies, which have been plummeting now, have fallen 40% compared to when they were at their highs.
Without the mine boss coming in and grabbing our graphics card, who can the scalpers sell the graphics card to?
Moreover, in order to solve the problem of graphics card shortage, some manufacturers have re-sold old graphics cards.
According to foreign media outlet TomsHardware:
A Japanese retailer recently launched another amD Radeon RX 550 graphics card released in 2017.
This graphics card is positioned at the entry level and has long been discontinued.
In terms of parameters:
The RX 550 has 8 CUs with a total of 512 stream processors and consumes only 50W of power at a base frequency of 1071MHz and an acceleration frequency of 1500MHz.
Equipped with 4GB of 128-bit GDDR5 memory with PCIe 3.0 interface. Single fan cooling, one DVI connector, one HDMI connector.
Currently, its price is 17,600 yen, which is equivalent to 982.08 yuan.
Many have speculated that this is the beginning of AMD's restart of production of Vega 11 GPUs in order to solve the problem of graphics card shortages.
Recently, there are reports on the Internet that say:
Nvidia is also preparing to release a new entry-level graphics card called the GT 1010.
Pascal architecture based graphics, GP108 GPU, based on 14 nm process.
It has 256 CUDA cores (384 out of 1030) with 2GB of video memory and a boost frequency of 1468 MHz.
However, there is no official announcement yet.
You see, new graphics cards are on the way, and more efficient production capacity is also on the way.
The cryptocurrency market is also not very sluggish, so graphics cards are still very much expected to fall back to normal levels.
What is this called? Game parties also have spring, right.
