Surely you have already suffered problems when buying this component, one of the most important of all PCs. In the last two years, the increase in demand (due to the COVID-19 pandemic) has put pressure on the IT channel and, together with lower production due to plant closures and rising transport costs, has triggered prices.

The situation affected the entire technology industry, but it was a special occurrence in a graphics segment that has another problem, voracious cryptocurrencies and some speculation that has reached mafia levels. As a result, buying a graphics card at moderate prices was an impossible task, and we recommend that you wait for better times from here.

Graphics card prices: Near MSPR

That time is coming. The last six months we have seen and clear declining price trend. An increase in chip production has been recorded and, together with a decline in demand for cryptocurrency mining, is approaching the MSPR reference value in some regions. latest news from 3DCenter on GPU prices in Europe.

As for NVIDIA, only the GeForce RTX 3090 is under MSPR and the RTX 3080, RTX 3080 Ti, RTX 3070 and RTX 3070 Ti have a price that rises from the recommended price between 5 and 12%. The worst option in terms of value at the moment is the RTX 3060 Ti, which sells 21 percent more.
