Graphic card prices rising

No real reason for these prices

After China started to crack down on Crypto miners, the world started to think that prices on Graphics Cards might stablise or even come down, but they were wrong.

MyDrivers, a Chinese language tech website, reports that the supply of Nvidia RTX 30 series graphics cards will drop by 30 percent compared to August, with the RTX 3060 suffering from a 50 percent reduction in expected availability, and prices are increasing again for just about every GPU on the market – even including ancient hardware like the Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti.

While AMD GPU stock appears to be less affected by shortages it is also facing inflated prices.

Some of this is because TSMC is looking to raise prices by as much as 20 percent to offset the huge spike in demand for chips, and some analysts think it is because of a sudden increase in manufacturing costs, and various other reasons such as temporary closures of GPU assembly lines due to new COVID outbreaks.
