Yeye PC gaming is dead song we hear for years now . Long live consoles 🙄

This year a graphics card alone costs 925 dollars. I guess we can always hope in 2025 the prices will be back to normal.

Absolutely not.
The market will fill the hole with 200$ graphic cards that are the equivalent of the low end hardware that we don't see around since a bit. Like the 1030, the old 710gt and that kind of stuff 64bit memory bus and so on.

@Hilbert Hagedoorn So you're sayin we've got three more years of this nonsense? 😳
Undying
By the end of 2022 everything will return to normal and by 2025 it will increase 20%.

Some manufactures are stockpiling chips , soo they are pumping the bubble , it will collapse sooner or later

Still not gonna see any $200 -300 cards ever again imo.

Consoles only play games. PC's can do anything you want them to.

With certain games 'casual gaming' is better on consoles. I just love me some BOTW motion control action, best gaming experience i ever had.
Nier Automata on the ps4 pro was nice too.

Well, we will but they'll likely be entry level.
But in a less pessimistic point of view, don't forget how much computers cost in the 90s, regardless of whether you account for inflation. It's not like manufacturers or retailers can artificially manipulate the prices too much, because otherwise most people wouldn't buy anything. Miners are what's really driving up prices. Until there's another market bubble burst or China starts to hunt down miners within their borders, these prices won't lower any time soon.

I´ve just read something like that on some other site, who are the fu**** doing this! They should be fined like never before to serve as an example!

Apple.
Is anyone surprised ?

I wonder what exactly counts as stockpiling chips. If, for example, Intel doesn't want to have a paper launch with its new video cards, and thus is accumulating GPU chips to avoid that, or AMD doing the same with the Zen3+ CPUs, is that still stockpiling chips?

For the folks here the report should talk about DESKTOP PC's. This is what the majority here drive and enjoy. The IDC report includes laptops and consoles to be sure. What is the true gaming desktop market penetration right now and for the future? Probably less than 1% and going south from there. Here at NIKE HQ in Beaverton, OR, everbody has been getting laptops for the past 3-years instead of the $250 mini towers. The cafeteria boys in turn here are 95% consoles and they love Microsoft and Sony. When I talk about my 2008 all "tricked out" XPS 720x desktop rig weighing-in at a cool 60 pounds, I am called a dinosaur and old man and told to get with the times. WTF!

I am more optimistic than that , at some point sooner or later the crypto bubble will burst like it did in the past twice and the used GPUs will flood the market , Even if the cards are overworked when you have oversupply of this magnitude the price is collapsing .... You really think nvidia is making lhr cards for the gamers and crypto only cards ..just to save the gamers ? They would LOVE if all those cards that mine right now turn into paper weight with out any value.
I believe strongly that the bubble will burst eventually i do not know when obviously!
... Hell i might even snatch a 3060 for ~150 bucks when the time comes!
kapu
It will collapse sooner or late , it's simple market law . It is not question IF it's question WHEN. Stockpiling , limiting production only cases bubble to grow , bigger the bubble bigger the collapse.
Maybe sooner than everyone expects . GPUs will be cheap again , maybe not 200eur but i could bet some money that we will be able to buy solid mid-high range GPU for 400eur.

@kapu last crypto bubble was shorter in duration and the burst send the 580 bellow 100 usd on used and about 150 new . There are a gazillion of factors so i do not think anyone with certainty can tell the exact prices 😛
