In the past two years, with the epidemic and the reason of "mining", the price of graphics cards has been rising, some graphics cards with higher mining performance have even risen directly by 3 or 4 times, the price is simply outrageous, but such a high price is not something that can be bought, the ultra-high income brought by mining coupled with the connivance of some manufacturers makes some graphics cards in a state of long-term shortage, most of the graphics cards have flowed into the "mining" market, and it is more difficult for ordinary players to buy a graphics card.
However, with the current collapse of virtual currency prices, as well as the most important domestic crackdown and punishment of "mining" behavior, the cycle of "mining" wanting to return the cost is getting longer and longer, which eventually leads to the price of graphics cards falling, and many high-end graphics cards are even cut in half compared to the highest price.
Although the price of graphics cards has slowly returned to normal, the author still wants to advise everyone here that most graphics cards are still not worth buying except for some models.
There are two main reasons for this:
First, although most of the high-end graphics cards are priced, they are still high compared to the initial release price, not to mention that these graphics cards have been released so old, according to the reason, they should be discounted on the basis of the offer price to meet the law.
Second, the latest next-generation 40 series graphics card is not long from the release, now buy another 30 series graphics card, inevitably a little late, unless you are really in a hurry or there is no ready-made graphics card on hand, otherwise it is recommended to wait or so on.
As shown in the price analysis table above, the high-end RTX 3090 Ti has basically not reduced the price, still 91% higher than the starting price, which is not recommended here; and the RTX 3090 has dropped a lot, but because the supply is small and difficult to find, it is not very recommended.
At present, the price of RTX 3080 and AMD 6900 XT still has a downward trend, and the probability of price reduction will continue until the May Day festival, and friends with starting needs are recommended to wait and see for a period of time.
RTX 3060, RTX 3060 Ti, RTX 3070 Ti are reduced by 200-300 yuan respectively, it is expected that there is still a price reduction trend this week, and now some of the RTX 3060 graphics cards have dropped to about 3000 yuan, or you can consider buying, but if you want to start cheaper, it is recommended to wait or so.
Entry-level RTX 3050, GTX 1660Ti and AMD RX 6600 graphics cards, due to price reasons, even if the price is reduced in the near future, it is not necessarily much to discount, and at least it will not lose much if you start recently.
Consumers who have recently purchased graphics cards, if they are not in a hurry to use, the author still recommends waiting, to 5.1, 6.18 and other holidays, promotion days and then buy, the discount is still relatively large.
Today is less than 20 days away from 5.1 Labor Day, the graphics card will continue to show a trend of price reduction, but we still do not have too many expectations, in order to protect the collective interests of the business, now even if it is lowered again, there will be a threshold, but still that sentence, buy early and enjoy early, buy late there are discounts.
