A new spike in the price trend of graphics cards can be spotted

A new spike in the price trend of graphics cards  can be spotted

We reported last week already that prices for RTX 3060 GPUs would jump up due to component shortages. This week the trend already is moving upwards. The prices of video cards from Nvidia and AMD have increased. 

The average Nvidia video card has seen a 9 percent increase in recent weeks, while the average AMD video card has seen a 6 percent increase.  For a time, it appeared like the prices of video cards were heading in the correct direction, but this appears to be changing once more. According to a study conducted by 3DCenter, prices are once again on the rise. Because of these price hikes, Nvidia cards are now 59 percent more costly than the MSRP, and AMD cards are 64 percent more expensive than the MSRP.

Many people are surprised by the price rises, as fewer purchases are being made in China due to the country's tough laws on cryptocurrency mining. The fact that Ethereum produces less means that miners will acquire fewer cards as a result of this. It is speculated that TSMC's price rises may be linked to this development. The fact that the amount of RTX 3060 and 3060 TI cards that Nvidia will supply has also been reduced by half could potentially be a contributing factor in this decision.

Looks like my RTX 390 will be my last ever pc upgrade Luckily I got it for £1475.00, my Daughter has the Xbox X and that for £400 is a great gaming system, I think this pricing madness will really kill PC gaming people will cross over to consoles

Yep, it'll need to change after this year or before the end of it preferably!

I mean, sure, you can get a RTX 3090, which you never should get as a normal person. Getting a RX 6600 or 6500 when that launches, or a Geforce 3050 or whatever will be the midrange SKU from nvidia, those are the sellers and they are still priced below a Xbox or PS4. PC gaming was always about 1.5-2x as expensive as a console, for a decently powerful rig for 1080p /1440p gaming.
If you want to play at 4k, you'll also be buying a seriously expensive display for your PC, you are not doing that as a first time buyer of a gaming rig.

Not that I disagree. I won't be paying cllose to 2000€ for a GPU. That's the price of a complete high-end system.

This is actually the cheapest I've seen the 3060 since launch is actually under 1000$ cad, 970$ lol or 771$ usd what a joke.
