European retailers increase the price of RTX 3060 graphics cards by 50%
According to Nvidia’s previously announced release of the ban on graphics cards, the first batch of RTX 3060 graphics cards will be officially launched on February 25, and according to relevant Nvidia documents, the first batch of RTX 3060 graphics cards will be sold at the “recommended retail price.”
However, I never imagined that some hardware retailers not only cancel the original order for pre-ordering RTX 3060 graphics cards at the “recommended retail price”, but they also raised the price of RTX 3060.
This is not good news for hardware players. Originally, due to the epidemic in 2020, the production capacity of graphics cards encountered serious problems, and also encountered the cryptocurrency mining fever. Basically face the situation of no GPU card available in half a year.
The price of RTX 3060 graphics cards supported by European retailers ProShop is currently much higher than the “recommended retail price”: 329 euros and the cheapest graphics card is also 499 euros, which is 50% higher than the “recommended retail price”.
Of course, ProShop is not the only company that takes advantage of the current “supply in short supply” state of the market to harvest revenues. Retailers such as PCDiga have also raised the price of RTX 3060 graphics cards by nearly 100 euros in just one week. The price of RTX 3060 is almost the same as RTX 3060Ti.
At present, it seems that in the short term, we cannot see the graphics card market return to normal.
