Many computer players who pursue extreme performance like to personally select accessories to assemble a computer that meets their needs.
With the continuous upgrading of computer hardware, accessories are constantly updated, but the rise in graphics card prices has deterred many players.
At the end of last month, Guo wrote an article about the sharp plunge in the price of overseas graphics cards, and the trend of graphics card price reduction has emerged.
This is not, although late but arrived, recently the domestic graphics card prices have officially begun to avalanche, another "wait party" victory.
According to a well-known domestic DIY hardware manufacturer provincial general agent, since the end of March, the average price of graphics cards has dropped by 30%, and the price of individual graphics cards has plummeted by 35% in one day.
For example, asus RTX3080, as one of the hottest graphics cards, last year's highest price in JD.com reached 20,000 yuan, while the current market price is less than 7,000 yuan.
Why are graphics card prices rising so dramatically? It all starts with cryptocurrencies.
At the beginning of 2020, the price of cryptocurrencies began to soar, setting off a "mining tide".
Mining requires a long period of time to repeatedly process simple operations, and the more high-end graphics cards you have, the more efficient mining will be.
Therefore, computer graphics cards that can be used for cryptocurrency "mining" have suddenly become sought-after goods.
Limited supply, high demand, such a market so that some people can not sit still, the first 5 thousand graphics card reverse hand is 10,000, and ordinary people want to buy a graphics card at the original price is basically no play.
The addition of scalpers has exacerbated the farcical effect of the soaring graphics card.
No one would have thought that an ordinary computer accessory could become a "wealth management product".
"One graphics card to speculate in stocks, three graphics cards to buy aircraft carriers" has become a popular joke in the game circle.
Many scalpers have caught up with this wave of graphics card price increases, but the tide will recede, and many speculators will also be "shot to death" on the beach.
As cryptocurrency prices plunged sharply, demand for graphics cards plummeted.
For example, the price of ETH has dropped from 4600 knives to 2300 knives, which has become the fuse for the price reduction of graphics cards.
Some people make quick money by relying on graphics cards, but there are also many merchants who lose money due to high-priced hoarding.
Some Huaqiang North merchants said that the sudden price reduction of the graphics card was unexpected, and every piece sold would lose three or four thousand yuan.
Even if they have goods in their hands, they dare not let go of the sale, if everyone starts to sell, the price will fall faster, so they can only slowly release the goods.
The graphics card changed from "fragrant food" to "hot potato", and I have to say one sentence - "feng shui turns".
However, although the price of graphics cards has dropped by an avalanche, many players have changed from "unaffordable" to "afraid to buy".
Nowadays, a large number of second-hand graphics cards are circulated in the market due to mining elimination, and the chance of users stepping on thunder has greatly increased.
Although the price of graphics cards has dropped, the quality has not been guaranteed, which undoubtedly increases the uncertainty of players' graphics card consumption.
There is a saying that goes well - "buy up, not buy down", the price of graphics cards is reduced, does not mean that users will buy it immediately.
Although the farce of graphics cards with tens of thousands of yuan is over, it is not yet known whether the price has bottomed out, and most users are still waiting and seeing.
Guo students believe that the price reduction space of graphics cards is still very large, and it is not far from 618, and the price of graphics cards may be lower at that time.
For the small partners who are still waiting, they can still "wait a little longer".
