In 2020 and 2021, the domestic game party ushered in the darkest and coldest winter, and the RTX 3060 Ti, which we thought was the most cost-effective graphics card, once rose to more than 8,000 yuan, which was 1.7 times more expensive than the starting price. Fortunately, the spring of the party has finally come, and platforms such as Pinduoduo and Idle Fish have appeared a lot of RTX 3060 Ti of about 4,000 yuan, and some of the AMD RX 6000 series graphics cards with low premium capabilities have returned or even lower than the original price.
In this harsh battle, players have to endure the pain of not being able to play the new AAA game, and at the same time, they have to endure the ridicule of the treacherous scalper. In the country's largest grassroots forum post bar, this kind of profiteer abounds, they often publish a variety of mocking copy in the graphics card bar, saying that the party is poor, insulting us is to find excuses for themselves can not afford to buy. There are also many profiteers who always post down the mountain, saying that they are no longer waiting, buying XXX graphics cards, and feeling very worthwhile.
In fact, we all understand that the party is not without money to buy a graphics card, after all, a graphics card is only how much money, we are just not willing to pay more money to buy a premium card. As for those who say that the party is waiting for more and more to lose, the money has not been spent, and it has been left in their pockets, where have we lost?

In fact, we all know that graphics cards cannot be at a high price for a long time, because the fundamental reason for the price increase of graphics cards is the soaring price of virtual currency, and miners rush to buy graphics cards to mine, and then after the speculation of profiteer scalpers, the premium will be so high.
Recently, the price of virtual currency is very unstable, with ups and downs, but the overall trend is in a downward trend. Clear-eyed people can see that the virtual currency market will only get worse and worse. A few days ago, there are artificial rumors, the development of lock computing power cracking software, even if it is a hard lock, can also completely crack the computing power. In order to make more people believe, there are also rumors that the lock computing power software was developed by NVIDIA.
As a result, the lies of profiteers and scalpers have once again been exposed, and smart consumers have not been deceived. So the question is, is it worth buying a graphics card now? Xiao Lei believes that the price of graphics cards will continue to fall, but the speed of decline will not be very fast, and if the graphics card is urgently needed, it can now be sold.
If you are not in a hurry to buy a graphics card, then wait for three months, 618 is coming, the major e-commerce platforms will definitely do activities, the price of the graphics card will also be subsidized, and it should be much cheaper to buy it again.
