Scalpers, crypto, Covid, component shortages; there are many reasons behind the fact that graphics cards have become a hard-to-get product. Add to that demand, as GPU sales have gone up almost 40% in 2020.

And yeah, the GPU market will continue to grow in 2021. Compared to the first quarter of 2020, sales increased by 35 percent in the first quarter of this year. Year-over-year sales increased by no less than 39 percent. According to analysts at Jon Peddie Research, the GPU market, which includes chips from AMD, Intel, and Nvidia, reached 119 million units sold in the first quarter of 2021.

A notable forecast is that the share of discrete GPUs is expected to grow between 2020 and 2025. The CPU market also appears to be growing with a 39 percent year-over-year increase in unit sales. Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, and other board partners saw a seven percent increase between Q4 2020 and Q1 2021.

Please lead me to this flooded market.

There are tons on basically every auction site - they are just still being sold at scalper prices, even if they have been abused for mining.

Seems like an off the chart estimate to me--I can only believe these numbers if laptop sales are estimated. I know that I've been looking daily for > six months for discrete AMD GPUs on both the AMD store and NewEgg, and others---and I have yet to see a 6800XT that I could put in the cart for buying, though nor for lack of trying! The numbers only make some kind of sense if laptop sales constitute the bulk. Otherwise--no way, Jose'...

Im surprised its only 39%.

Well they just talk general sales not who got the cards ... So they where able to produce 39% more cards than the last year and the majority of em went to sculpers and miners while the market demand was higher .... Well no wonder the prices are nuts.
