Videocards will continue to rise in price almost all year 2018
Representatives of Nvidia grieved all gamers and miners - last year's deficit for video card is delayed by at least year. A this means that lower prices for New cards do not wait worth it.
About all this told one of the organizers of Massdrop crowdfunding site Brian Hutchins, who managed to communicate with representatives of Nvidia in their time visit to Massdrop. By Brian wrote a detailed post, the whole essence of which is reduced to several lines: " Most likely, prices for video cards will continue to grow to the third quarter of this year. AND Only then you can breathe relief. "
Why do not the cards become cheaper
First , the miners and the gray buyers. The first need a lot of cards, the latter provide demand, buying cards directly from plants, because of what up to retail reaches only a portion of the cards. Secondly , the producers of smartphones are to blame. Manufacturers of RAM in first of all try to fulfill orders of Apple, Samsung and others, so do not pay attention to a deficit of RAM and VRAM, necessary for the manufacture of video cards.
Therefore, the fast release of new GeForce GTX 2000 can become in its own epochal - for the first time in history of the video card will be impossible to buy on normal price, and extremely difficult to overestimated. After all, until many markets, a new card will come with great delay.
