Q3 2018 goes down as worst third quarter for graphics cards add-in boards

Q3 2018 goes down as worst third quarter for graphics cards add-in boards

The add-in board market decreased in Q3'18 from last quarter, while Nvidia gained market share. Over $2.5 billion dollars of AIBs shipped in the Q3 quarter.

Jon Peddie Research has released its quarterly Add-in-Board report on world-wide AIB shipments used in desktop PCs for Q3'18. 

Quarter-to-quarter graphics board shipments decreased by 19.2% and decreased by 36.1% year-to-year.

The market shares for the desktop discrete GPU suppliers shifted in the quarter, Nvidia increased market share from last quarter, as well as market share year-to-year.

"The third quarter is normally the strongest from the previous quarter. This quarter it was down -19.2% from the last quarter," said Dr. Jon Peddie, President of JPR. "That is below the ten-year average of 14.9% and was caused by too much inventory in the channel due to a misjudgment on the strength of the crypto-mining demand."

 

 

Since 1981, 2,083 million AIBs have been shipped. For the year $4.4 billion of AIBs have been sold.

Add-in boards (AIBs) using discrete GPUs are found in desktop PCs, workstations, servers, rendering and mining farms, and other devices such as scientific instruments. They are sold directly to customers as aftermarket products, or are factory installed by OEMs. In all cases, AIBs represent the higher end of the graphics industry with their discrete chips and private, often large, high-speed memory, as compared to the integrated GPUs in CPUs that share slower system memory.

The PC AIB market now has just two chip (GPU) suppliers which also build and sell AIBs. The primary suppliers of GPUs are AMD and Nvidia. There are 48 AIB suppliers, the AIB OEM customers of the GPU suppliers, which they call "partners."

In addition to privately branded AIBs offered worldwide, about a dozen PC suppliers offer AIBs as part of a system, and/or as an option, and some that offer AIBs as separate aftermarket products. We have been tracking AIB shipments quarterly since 1987-the volume of those boards peaked in 1999, reaching 114 million units. This quarter 9.9million shipped.

Discrete GPUs are the heart and soul of add-in boards (AIBs) and Jon Peddie Research's Add-in-Board Quarterly Report covers the market activity of PC-based graphics for Q1'18.

Well, guess who's to blame for that, with cards that never have been so expansive in the time I can remember.

Well, let's see...the low end GTX1060 3GB I paid $169 for (and that was too much) a year ago has been $400-550 for most of that year since. I can't imagine why folks are not just scooping them up. :confused:

I am surprised the sales didn't drop by more like 80%

The next two quarters should be even worse - the mining boom didn't top out until Q1 this year. Second-hand markets are flooded with used GPUs and there's nothing new from AMD or Nvidia that's worth buying right now. It's going to be a rough few months for GPU makers.

If fanatics boycotted, prices would reduce. But we have a community that does not care about the market, they want to buy expensive GPUs, after all, that way your penis grows in the benchmarks. Pathetic.

No surprise at all. It was mostly old hardware overpriced due to miners (and lack of competition at the high end) and the only new hardware we did get was also overpriced, where it's major selling point (raytracing) turned out to be a disappointment.
