Double the price of graphics cards
According to the data of the Mindfactory platform, the average graphics card prices have increased by 2 times in 3 years. In 2020, the average price of AMD Radeon graphics cards was 295 euros, while the platform sold 442 thousand euros. This year, the average price of AMD cards is 600 euros, and the platform has sold 1 million euros. The absence of a premium graphics card in AMD’s first generation RDNA in 2020 plays an important role in this difference.
While the average price of Nvidia cards in 2020 was 426 euros, the total sales were 855 thousand euros. In 2023, the average price is 825 euros and the total sales are 1.84 million euros.
Of course, the performance of graphics cards has increased tremendously in 3 years, but the costs have also increased significantly. As a result, these increases have pushed the average prices considerably higher.
