It's a Cryptic Fall: Discrete Desktop GPU Shipments Fall 16% YoY (Jon Peddie Research)
According to Jon Peddie Research, overall desktop GPU shipments have fallen by 16% YoY - a not unexpected turn of events considering the state of the crypto mining boom then and now (where it's virtually absent). The YoY change means that production volumes planned during the mining boom are now above and beyond the channel's capability to move them through user demand, hence the diminishing prices in graphics cards (aided by the dump of mining-bought graphics cards in the second-hand markets).
Overall, GPU shipments still increased by 10.64% compared to last quarter in the overall market, fueled mostly by Intel - AMD shipments increased 6.5% Nvidia increased 4.3% and Intel increased 13.1% compared to their own previous shipment quotas. Still, AMD's market share from last quarter decreased -0.6%, Intel's increased 1.5%, and Nvidia's market share decreased -0.97%. JPR also cites the US's additional tax on China imported goods, as well as descending stock market values as reasons for consumers (both singular and business) to be holding off on purchases.

like.. no new gpu that's worth buying since GTX10 series!
And maybe a vega at hilarious prices (like my gtx1070 priced V64)
if answers to all these are no - then wtf are they (amd and nvidia) expecting? an upragde from gtx1060 to gtx1060 gddr5x or something?
maybe apart from the very few Black Friday deals
try to get a gtx 1080Ti or 2080 for 699 usd or rtx 2080ti for 999 usd
its even worse in Europe
It already have stopped - we can see it already with those hiking prices and terrible progression;
There alway will be minor companies that could only dream about getting to the top, and they will take an opportunity really fast, if given one;
And at last - those greedy corporation's one and only target is to make profits, so I don't expect anything good from them at all - thus, such a system of "cowards" should be refreshed preiodically.
And when they "stumble" like that, while chasing extra profits, but failing afterwards - it just brings them closer to the end. And thats good.
AMD is already pretty much doing this. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.
And you know, you’ve made right point - AMD is doint this already. Thus ngreedia almost doing that, by Increasing x time prices and decreasing x time perfomance gains.
Moreover, considering Tolerantfield V and Failout 76 (generally how stagnant PC gaming today is, with all those royal battles and other tons of bulls*) and numerous great games, that unfortunately became console exclusives - I think I’m gonna be okay with that. Daym, I can’t even name a single 2017-2018 game that I’ve played and liked so far
I feel sorry for you that you are so jaded you can’t enjoy any of the hundreds of very good games made in that time period.
P.S. I have a feeling that we're speaking different languages - instead of getting into what I'm trying to deliver, you just neglect and post something different.
