While the PC market is shaky and Intel prepares to raise CPU prices, the GPU market is booming. Last month, the great GPU shortage ended, thanks in part to the ongoing crypto crash. Crypto miners are flooding the market with no longer profitable cards, which means new GPUs are more readily available on store shelves. Nvidia has begun bundling free games with its RTX 3080, 3080 Ti, 3090, and 3090 Ti graphics cards.
If you’re thinking about building or buying a gaming PC, now seems like a good time to do so, as GPU prices are falling and CPU prices are rising. But we’re about to enter a new era of CPU and GPU upgrades, with Nvidia’s new 40-series GPUs expected to arrive in the coming months. If you really want the latest and greatest, it may be worth waiting to see what Nvidia, AMD, and Intel have in store for later this year.
