Have you noticed that there has been very little news about virtual currencies recently.
From the beginning of the year to now, for several months, we have not seen the news of the crazy rise/fall of a certain virtual currency.
Besides, the crazy predictions of some people in the currency circle.
In addition to virtual currencies, in 2020 to 2021 crazy rise is also - graphics cards.
The main reason for the rise, on the one hand, is because of the insufficient production capacity of chips, on the other hand, the virtual currency mining fever, resulting in a shortage of graphics cards.
No matter how much high-end graphics cards are produced and how much the price increase is, they are all packaged by some mine bosses, and our ordinary game party cannot buy affordable graphics cards at all.
So, when people stop paying too much attention to cryptocurrencies, the spring of the waiting party will also come.
Because this may mean that graphics cards that have soared in price because of the rise of XX coins can reduce their value.
In fact, during the period around the Spring Festival this year, the hero has already talked to everyone about the price reduction of graphics cards twice.
This time, it should be the third price reduction in 2022, and the price reduction is still very huge.
On March 22, the Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily reported:
High-end graphics cards were quoted overnight in an avalanche, and countries have different ranges of price cuts.
Take the RTX 3080 series, whose price plummeted 35% in one day in the Australian market, the largest drop in the history of the 3080 graphics card.
At the same time, the price of other specification graphics cards has also fallen by more than 10%.
The details of the report go like this.
The tech YouTube channel Hardware Unboxed found:
The price of the Asus GeForce RTX 3080 TUF Gaming OC, which is sold in Australia, plummeted 35% in one day, from a price of AU$2299 to AU$1499 in just one night.
At the same time, the German market has also seen a large price reduction of graphics cards.
The 3DCenter website that has long tracked Nvidia's RTX 3090 flagship graphics card found:
The price of the product is now 1,999 euros, which was once sold to 3,199 euros at the high point of last May.
The price is equivalent to twice the current price, and although the current price is still more expensive than the official price, it is not impossible to restore the original price according to this sign.
Brothers, see no, now the graphics card is also at a price a day.
True to that sentence:
You don't buy, I don't buy, tomorrow you can drop 200.
Not only abroad, but also at home, these graphics cards have also begun to reduce prices.
On March 25, Sina Finance reported that many store owners in Huaqiang North said that the price of graphics cards will continue to fall.
The owner of a graphics card store told reporters:
At present, the RTX 3080 graphics card is generally quoted at about 7000-8000 yuan, while a RTX 3080 graphics card can be sold to more than 10,000 years ago.
At its peak, an unlocked RTX 3080 can be quoted as high as about 14,000 yuan.
If you compare the peak with the current price, it has dropped by half.
Moreover, these bosses also said that in the next period of time, the price of graphics cards will continue to decrease.
For the reason for the price reduction, an industry insider said that everyone is not much mining, and the production capacity has kept up, and there is no previous phenomenon of robbery.
Now the supply is relatively sufficient, the possibility of price increases in the future is really unlikely.
In addition to these factors, graphics card costs are also declining.
On March 17, it was reported that NVIDIA has pushed downstream manufacturers to reduce graphics card costs by 10%, and it will take several weeks to transmit to the retail side.
The price of GPU display chips, a key component of graphics cards, is currently in a downward trend, and the GPUs of Nvidia and AMD are at the lowest price in more than a year, further reducing the production cost of graphics cards.
Moreover, the overwhelming news on the market is saying that the 40 series graphics card is about to be launched, and there are certainly not many ordinary people competing for the 30 series graphics card at this time.
Sufficient supply, cost reduction, mining demand reduction, coupled with the impact of normal iteration, the price of graphics card is not falling.
If you have the idea of starting a graphics card in the near future, you may wish to wait, and the price of the graphics card will fall again in the next month.
