However, the market graphics cards works completely independently since it is not based on stock and prices, but rather on the variety of models and future launches, such as what is happening in the automobile market. processors.
With the new Intel graphics that you are already presenting, with the NVIDIA RTX 50 and the AMD RX8000 about to be officially presented in a few weeks, it should come as no surprise that sales of graphics cards for home use decreased last quarter by 14.5% according to JPR.
Chart sales fall
However, it is important to note that the figures published by this company correspond to the third quarter, the months from July to September, months which have traditionally always shown the same trend as the second quarter of the year. In fact, these numbers are the lowest since the second quarter of 2023.
Once again, NVIDIA was the manufacturer that sold the largest number of home graphics cards to users, taking two points away from AMD. In the second trimester, NVIDIA and AMD share the market 88 and 12% respectively.
Over this last quarter, NVIDIA retained 90%, leaving the rest to AMD. Once again, Intel still has no presence in the market, which could change in the coming months if the new commitment to the Intel Arc B series bears fruit.
If the figures of GPU sales in the third quarter of 2024 they were bad, they are probably nothing with the figures of the last quarter of this year, where all users are waiting like May water for the next launch of NVIDIA in particular and AMD.
The launch of new models means that the models already available on the market their price will drop which will promote sales during the first quarter of 2025. So, if you are waiting to take advantage of an offer to renew your graphics, the best thing to do is to wait until January.
The future of graphics looks very bleak
The study published by JPR suggests a gloomy future for the next 4 years in the graphics card market. According to what they say, between 2024 and 2028, the growth rate of this market will be negative, precisely 6 points, that is, fewer graphics will be sold than currently.
The main reason this outlet purports to make this statement is, once again, customs tariffs that Donald Trump He plans to apply at his official inauguration as president of the United States, at an event on January 20.
If Donald Trump keeps his promise (unlike Europe, the US tends to keep them most of the time), it will cause the price of laptops and PC components to rise by up to 45%.
Fortunately for Europe, this price increase will only affect the United States and not Europe, although it is possible that Europe will follow the same path as the United States, just as it has made a few months ago by increasing prices on Chinese electric cars.
