Computer graphics cards are becoming more affordable due to the problems of miners
Video cards are becoming more affordable, but still cost more than manufacturers recommend, analysts at 3DCenter said .
It is noted that in Europe, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 video cards fell in price. Their cost has been falling since May. And video cards Radeon RX 6000 series for a month increased in price by 3%. This is due to the shortage of such products – video card manufacturers are limited by the volume of production of 7-nanometer TSMC chips.
Video cards are losing in price amid the problems of miners. One of the key cryptocurrencies, Ethereum, reduced the mining reward for the coin in August.
In the Russian market, the tendency to reduce the cost of these components is also noticeable. So, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 can be bought for less than 60 thousand rubles, although in July it cost 15% more.
In the summer of 2017, it was reported that in Russia there was an acute shortage of video cards for personal computers. In Moscow, they almost disappeared from sale. Due to such a rush of demand, video cards jumped in price to 30 thousand rubles, although earlier their cost was estimated at around 16 thousand rubles.
