Video cards are 70% more expensive than official price tags

Video cards continue to rise in price. In addition, the deficit has not been canceled; it is extremely problematic to find them in free sale.

And, according to experts, the situation will get worse and worse. Europe video card series NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3000 and AMD Radeon RX 6000 rise in price day by day. For NVIDIA products, they ask for 70% more than the manufacturer’s recommended price tags, and for AMD models – 74%.

So if GeForce RTX 3080 officially costs $ 699, then in reality you will have to pay $ 489 more for it. There are two reasons – problems with the supply of components associated with the coronavirus, and the growth of cryptocurrencies (miners are ready to buy video cards for any money).
