Graphics cards will rise in price this year 2018

2018 may be a good year for graphics cards but not everything is going to be good news, some reports from DigiTimes point out that the price of high-end and mid-range cards will rise slightly throughout this year 2018.

Graphics cards will be more expensive this 2018

Initially, the rise in the price of graphics cards this year 2018 will be between 5 and 20 dollars approximately, this rise is due to a very strong demand for this component due to the popularity of cryptocurrency mining. This is the same cause that has caused AMD cards to have been out of stock in stores for months, so it seems that players will continue to suffer the consequences this 2018.

The popularity of cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum, has caused major graphics card manufacturers such as Asus, MSI and Gigabyte to have grown weary of selling cards throughout 2017.

So far the bad, the good is that 2018 is expected to be the year that Nvidia announces a new graphic architecture for the video game market. It was hoped that Volta would succeed Pascal in this regard, although everything indicates that it will not eventually be so, instead the Ampere architecture will be announced, which would not stop being a simplified version of Volta without the elements intended for artificial intelligence and deep learning, for example the Tensor Cores and the HBM2 memory that would be replaced by the cheaper GDDR6.
