- Modern graphics cards can manipulate and process a massive amount of pixels in real-time.
Reasons for Graphics Card Price Hikes in 2021:
- Graphics cards are in limited supply both globally and in India.
- The main factor for the inflated GPU prices is a silicon limited supply and crypto mining.
- It is indeed due to the company’s marketing strategy in which it will sell its graphics card to a second party, who sells it to a retailer from whom you will purchase the graphics card, causing the price to rise.
Since this pandemic has affected every sector of society, how can the software sector remain untouched? As a result, the price of GPUs is continuing to rise not only in India but also globally. GPUs have always been in high demand, making it hard to acquire them. The emergence of the COVID-19 disease outbreak contributed to the distribution network complexities.
