Recently, NVIDIA informed that players spent an extra $ 300 on RTX 30 series graphics cards. This statement immediately aroused heated discussions among players around the world.
After all, the price increase of RTX 30 series graphics cards was exaggerated, but NVIDIA later clarified that everyone had misunderstood. They said it is the original price of the graphics card, which has nothing to do with the scalper price.
Fisher mentions that GPUs offer more value than ever before, and according to NVIDIA, gamers are spending $300 more to upgrade to an RTX 30 – series card than the previous generation — about $300 which is still average value.
In the earlier year or so, PC gamers have been affected by the high price of graphics cards, and they are full of fire. Now, NVIDIA even uses the price increase of graphics cards as a performance to show off?
NVIDIA ‘s statement was made by NVIDIA senior vice president Jeff Fisher at a previous investor meeting. So these remarks caused dissatisfaction among players, and NVIDIA had to come out to clarify and explain the meaning of this $300.
PCWorld told that NVIDIA explained to them what the $300 was about and that the $300 more was the suggested price, not the actual selling price of the graphics card. Players spent $ 400 in 2016 buying graphics cards, now spending $ 700 for the same in 2021.
However, the original text mentioned that it is impossible to buy an RTX 3080 graphics card for $ 700 in 2021. Due to the shortage of supply and the speculation of scalpers, the actual price of the RTX 3080 graphics card has already changed, and it is currently $ 1,200.
