After entering 2022, the Graphics Card Market in Europe and the United States has shown a continuous price reduction, and in the recent period, there have been reports of a 35% decline. Although the domestic market is not as exaggerated as the overseas market diving, there has indeed been a certain price loosening. From the perspective of some e-commerce channels, the high-end part of the RTX 3090 and RX 6900XT still seems to be higher in price, and the RTX 3080, RX 6800XT, and RTX 3060Ti are still far from the official guidance price at the time of release, but they are also significantly slipping from the highest price. The most cost-effective is the mid-range fighter like the RTX 3070 Ti, which can be bought for less than 5,000 yuan.
Between the introduction of the specific hardware of this 15,000 yuan installation list, I also want to talk more about the processor market. In line with the principle of buying new and not buying old, the main mid-end of the current 12th-generation Core desktop processor on Intel's side is the i7-12700K series, the biggest feature is that the P-core + E-core hybrid architecture makes performance and energy efficiency better balanced, and the single-core Turbo frequency up to 5.0GHz is also the love of gamers and users with continuous high load demand. On the other hand, AMD's Ryzen™ 7 5800X3D V-Cache is menacing, maintaining the same offer price as the previous Ryzen 7 5800X, with the advantage that the L3 cache has been expanded to 96MB, but it may be a pity for DIY players not to overclock.
At present, the reputation and sales of Intel's 12th generation Core i7-12700K series are good, suitable for game masters, programmers and content creators and users.
In terms of graphics cards, the most valuable (compared to the previous high premium scenario) is the RTX 3070 Ti. The above Asus 8G esports game card is priced at 5499 yuan, although it is still 1000 yuan higher than the first 4499 yuan, but the performance advantage is that it has a higher level GDDR6X video memory chip, as well as 4% more CUDA cores and a higher acceleration frequency and fundamental frequency compared to the RTX 3070.
In terms of memory selection, although the 12th generation Core already supports DDR5 specification memory, the current market price has not been adjusted to a reasonable price range, so choose the DDR4 3200 specification 16GB x 2 set.
For installed users with a budget of 15,000 yuan, it should be a game master and a high-end content creator, but at present, it can only be configured to the RTX 3070 Ti level, which is indeed not a very satisfactory result. However, if your installation needs are very urgent, you may wish to refer to the installation list of xiaobian, after all, the hardware configuration can be replaced later, but the reason for buying early and enjoying early and buying more affordable late is unchanged.
