NVIDIA previously announced on Annual Investor Day that their financial position is better than ever, the company has many sources of profit, and the gaming division remains the largest source of revenue, with gamers spending an average of $300 on upgrading to Ampere desktop graphics cards compared to previous generations of graphics products, which has led to an average 13% increase in the average selling price of the product over the past five years.
The increase in the average selling price of the product means that NVIDIA brings more revenue per video card sold, and the shipment of graphics cards is also growing, the number of graphics cards sold each year has increased by 11%, NVIDIA is not only selling more expensive graphics cards, but they also sell more, these two together make NVIDIA's financial statements so good, they expect more players to join, in the past five years, an average of 50 million gamers per year, this number is not expected to slow down, This time, their financial performance has gradually improved.
The high price of graphics cards is of course a good thing for NVIDIA and their investors, but it is certainly not for gamers, since the new round of mining tide, the shortage of graphics cards has not stopped, many distribution channels are not much, the price is several times higher than the official suggested retail price is not a thing, and during this period to buy new graphics cards players to spend a lot more than before, but the price of graphics cards, with the decline in graphics card prices, and so on will increase, the development of things may not be as NVIDIA expected.
