Availability of graphics cards is also currently at its highest level, according to the report. This may be partly due to the fact that some potential buyers are already showing less interest in the current generation of accelerators and are expecting new generation video cards. Their announcement should take place this year. At the same time, neither AMD nor NVIDIA have yet announced a natural reduction in recommended prices for accelerators, and they are also not trying to increase sales of the current generation of video cards through various promotions, as was observed with previous generations of accelerators towards the end of their life cycle.

As the portal writes VideoCardz, the announcement of the Radeon RX 7000 and GeForce RTX 4000 graphics cards is expected in the next 5-6 months. At the same time, AMD is also preparing to release updated models of the current generation Radeon RX 6000 with faster video memory. They should be on sale next month.
