Want to change his graphics card became difficult for a few years already, the prices had risen sharply and we were all looking at the best price. But now, after the rain, the good weather and the prices are finally starting to drop.
Barring a new pandemic, this decline should continue in the coming months thanks to several factors. With the control of COVID, factories are running at full speed again and the number of cards sold has increased sharply in 2021. The second factor is that cryptocurrency mining is done less and less via the GPUs graphics cards. Intel for example announced lice or fleas ASICs intended for this use. Finally, last factor, Intel intends to embark on the making of GPUs by planning to market more than 4 million in 2022, which should allow on the one hand greater availability and on the other hand fiercer competition between the various players, and therefore a drop in prices.
Note also that two markets no longer buy graphics cards at all because of the war and the blockade, Ukraine and Russia.
The table above clearly indicates the evolution of the prices of GPUssuch as the $580 drop for the GeForce RTX 3080 or $655 for the Radeon RX 6900 XT.
You will therefore have to wait a little longer if you want to acquire a graphics card at a very reduced price. As a reminder, between 2011 and 2014, the average price of a graphics card was $260. Today we are closer to $770.
