13. Unfolding

Since autumn 2020 the prices for gamers graphics cards attracted massive, more specifically, the graphics card series, which has since been re-released gradually from AMD and Nvidia, are significantly more expensive than its price recommendations by the Release tag.

This has to do with supply problems in semiconductors, respectively, lack of capacity in chip production, which is also connected with a very high demand for electronic products through the Covid-19 pandemic. Even gaming hardware is in high demand, some recreational activities or rare are no longer possible because the world so that gaming was interested again. On top of that is the so-called mining with some graphics cards as a calculation base so much worth that even Miner demand and therefore influence prices. Cryptocurrencies like Ethereum have become so valuable that some particularly suitable for the mining graphics cards are even sold for higher prices than others who are in games faster itself. When Mining to set hardware power available and helps in calculating the transactions of cryptocurrencies — the reward is to share this cryptocurrencies, the prices for a while continue to rise.

The currently extremely poor price-performance ratio for the gaming suggests that the RTX 3080 Ti in miners is very popular. The equally fast in games AMD Radon RX 6900 AT costs 500 euros less. Source: Mali A longer summary of the possible factors for the horrendous graphics card prices can you find in our special November 13, but overall prices would of course be much lower if AMD and Nvidia could take significantly more graphics cards on the market. But now we look at the price trend of graphics cards in recent weeks and arrange the currently readily available model lines in terms of value for one. Later, we also offer ideas on what alternatives you — except abstinence or benefits of existing graphics card — has become a graphics card buying new.

graphics cards: Current prices

Currently, we see 18 graphics cards series for gaming purposes on the market that are available. We take this the most advantageous, available model of a graphics card series as a benchmark, we had on price comparison sites as an offer of a known to us and could not find established shops. The absolute lower limit is the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650, the only entry was an option two years ago. It currently costs from 380 euros, an increase of 145 percent compared to October 2020. At the top of our list with the AMD Radon RX 6900 AT or NVIDIA GeForce RTX ends 3080 Ti. The following table much you the actual price and the strike price 18 arranged according to their performance graphics cards series. The strike price is the price at release of each graphics card for AMD and Nvidia 6000er- 3000 models or the price from autumn 2020 for the remaining graphics cards:

Further information: At the extra charge you can see how many percent more your currently available compared to the base price. The price-performance index works as follows: We share the price of the graphics card through its performance, where the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti represents the base and achieves a capacity of 100. It could be clearly formulated that the PL index is the price per FPS when the RTX 3060 Ti acting as a bar is 100 fps. A weaker card then reaches 70 (FPS), so you share your price only by 70. For example, for example, 20 percent stronger graphics card, it turns their price by 120. The smaller the index, the better a graphics card is there in the price-performance ratio. On the next page, we look more closely what graphics cards are currently still comparatively well in view of this price-performance viewing, we will look forward to the price development of the last weeks.
