Graphics card prices set to fall...?

[Becky]

Well this certainly sounds like good news!

Taiwan-based graphics card makers including Gigabyte Technology, Micro-Star International (MSI) and TUL are expected to see their shipments for April plunge over 40% on month, as many clients have suspended taking shipments in response to drastic slowdown in demand for cryptocurrency mining machines, according to industry sources.

In line with the shipment drops, gross margins for graphics card makers are expected to fall sharply to 20-25% from a high of 50% enjoyed earlier as makers and channel distributors are forced to slash prices for sales promotion. They hope the market demand can rebound in May or June.

I hope not, I need a new graphics card! Plus we're toying with the idea of getting a proper VR set up... it has been suggested we could turn the guest room into a holodeck

Well they can't get much higher, neither can RAM prices for that matter!

Bloody crypto miners.

With the recent launch of new RTX 20 series cards, the prices of high-end GTX 10 series cards will likely to fall.

I hope so!
