The graphics card market is experiencing significant discounts compared to previous months. It is saturated with graphics cards, which miners get rid of after the next burst of the cryptocurrency bubble. This pushes the prices of the older cards down further, making the new ones hard to sell, so they too gradually fall below the official MSRP. The expected arrival of the new GeForce RTX 4000 and Radeon RX 7000 further aggravates the situation, and people are more likely to wait for the new generation. The latest data from China shows such a significant drop in price that some models are even 38% below their official price.
