Graphics card market deformity is not a short-term problem, the vast majority of users are also accustomed to it, holding you up and letting you rise, I buy and count me lose mentality. However, the price of graphics cards has also fallen a lot recently, and the latest news says that there was a wave of price cuts for graphics cards in March, and it was a plunge.
01 News said that graphics card prices will plummet in March
The well-informed big leaker Greymon 55 recently heard a news that the price of graphics cards will drop dramatically next month, and he hopes that the news is true, but did not say what the so-called plunge is.
In the past, we thought that the price increase of graphics cards was mainly caused by mining in the currency circle, and the computing power of ETH was very stable in recent times, but the price was indeed oscillating, and the risk of mining was increasing, if it was really the "mining disaster" that DIY players were looking forward to in the currency circle, a large number of mining cards flowed into the second-hand market, which would definitely lead to a sharp decline in graphics cards.
Of course, it is more likely that the supply of AMD and NVIDIA is increasing, and the demand for superimposed mining cards has not risen or even fallen, and the price of graphics cards will naturally come down.
Judging from the recent performance of graphics card manufacturers, it is not impossible for graphics card prices to plummet in March, and many manufacturers have lowered the price of graphics cards in the past few days.
02The current graphics card price has begun to decline
From the perspective of RTX 3080, some of the big brands have taken the lead in reducing prices, and the price has basically been more than 9,000 yuan since the release of the RTX 30 series graphics card, but now the minimum has fallen to about 7500 yuan.
You can even lose another 50 yuan
At present, RTX 3080 is divided into 10GB and 12GB versions, all of which have different degrees of price reduction, but the price reduction of 10GB is even greater.
The previous price of the 12GB version was about 10,000 yuan, and the current lowest has dropped to 9,000 yuan, because this graphics card has just been released, so there is no "slag" and pressure cargo, but the price reduction of 1,000 yuan is still quite high.
Further down RTX 3070 Ti also has a relatively large price reduction, before the market price of this graphics card is close to 7000 yuan, the cheapest time will also be about 6500 yuan, and there are already 6200 yuan of products.
Compared with the RTX 3070 Ti, the price reduction of the RTX 3070 is not as much as expected, most of which is 5900 yuan. The price of the RTX 3070 even reached 5500 yuan before 11.11 last year, which can be watched for a while.
The price of the next RTX 3060/3060 Ti is not very much, the former is basically maintained at about 4200 yuan, maintaining the level of October last year, while the general price of RTX 3060 Ti is still above 5000 yuan.
At the same time, the price of the RTX 3050, which is closest to the release, has also been slightly reduced, and all brands have reached 2900 yuan almost overnight after the launch, and now including first-line brands such as ASUS MSI, it has dropped to 2600 yuan.
03 Domestic mining seal IP
Regardless of whether the price of the graphics card is really as the tipster said plummeted, anyway, from the domestic point of view, the road of mining has become completely unworkable.
On November 10, 2021, the National Development and Reform Commission organized a video conference on the governance of virtual currency "mining" to severely crack down on mining behavior, requiring all provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities to effectively assume territorial responsibilities, build systems, and grasp monitoring.
Mining will definitely be able to find out
In December of the same year, operators began to strictly investigate mining, and all those who had this behavior would be blocked IP. Although it is still possible to have scientific Internet access, it is highly invested, high-risk, and difficult to liquidate, and the subsequent benefits and risks are not as good as the benefits brought by selling cards.
Therefore, the domestic environment has basically blocked the behavior of mining, and once it is found, it is seriously dealt with, and the cost is very high. However, at present, it is not clear whether the mining card has been flowed out in a large area, and users must also look for the official flagship store when buying the graphics card, if the price is really cheap, they must also be prepared to buy "slag".
Another personal experience, if the product price reduction is from a third-party store, then there will be a relatively large market fluctuation; if the price reduction starts from the official store, it is most likely that the upstream manufacturers will have recent actions.
