Growth in prices for NVIDIA and AMD video cards by the end of the year is not expected due to cryptocurrencies
Analysts of the TrendForce agency believe that the video card market is stabilizing, and there will be no increase in prices for video cards in the next six months.

The decrease in demand for NVIDIA and AMD video cards is mainly attributed by specialists to the recent decline in the cost of cryptocurrencies. Moreover, this fact had an impact on the segment of the graphics DRAM memory.

Given the volatility of trends in the graphics memory market, prices for graphics memory can decline or fluctuate significantly compared to other major DRAM products. Ultimately, if cryptocurrencies continue to lose value, and manufacturers of mobile devices and personal computers reduce production volumes due to the unstable situation in the world due to the pandemic and difficulties in supplying important components, then an increase in prices for graphic memory by the end of the year unlikely.

The cost of NVIDIA and AMD video cards is returning to normal values ​​after the maximum indicators of last spring, which exceeded three times the recommended market retail. The increased demand for DRAM and the rise in contract prices were the catalysts for the spring jump. Also, the consequences of the spread of coronavirus and the rise in the cost of components and logistics acted on the ups and downs of the market. Now, with the stabilization of prices for graphics memory, we can expect a reduction in the cost of video cards, especially if the rate of cryptocurrencies remains at the current level. However, DRAM is an important part of game consoles, so you can expect a decline in the cost of PS and XBOX.
