The word ‘normal’ definitely deserves to be in quotation marks. Graphics card prices are in a weird spot. Manufacturing bottleneck have now loosened post the covid era electronics supply shortage. And the crypto mining crash has lead to demand decreasing dramatically, right as Nvidia had stock ready for the cards. So price deflation has happened, but it’s most noticeable mainly in the resellers/ 2nd hand markets where used stock is flooding.
However, Nvidia and their competitor AMD has on the other hand increased the prices for each tier of its latest generation flagship GPUs. This has led to a lack of the same enthusiasm for the latest GPU launch when compared to the previous generation launch in 2020. Couple that with the flood of prior generation used cards on the market, new graphics card sales in units and revenue were down year on year in 2022.
