and polaris were also highly sought after for mining and we're looking at a NUMBER_TOKEN drop in pricing this month as well the two NUMBER_TOKEN gigabyte cards in this chart the NUMBER_TOKEN gigabyte and the NUMBER_TOKEN gigabyte are going to be interesting competition for the rx NUMBER_TOKEN xt at its supposed NUMBER_TOKEN msrp i still wouldn't recommend the eight gigabyte cards for gamers right now the gtx NUMBER_TOKEN gig is a much better choice but prices are falling for these sorts of gpus overall there's been mixed news this month in the gpu market the launch of the rtx NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN gigabyte and rtx NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN gigabyte have been highly disappointing in terms of improving supply and pricing for gamers they've really done nothing at all in that area and are very overpriced right now there are a few more gp launches scheduled for this month like the rx NUMBER_TOKEN xt and the rtx NUMBER_TOKEN. it'll be interesting to see how they impact the market but we're expecting the result to be better than nvidia's NUMBER_TOKEN cash grab cards the good news for those following the gpu market closely is that real street prices dropped month on month in january on the scalpel market in addition we observed a higher than usual amount of unsold listings and quite good availability in retail stores at inflated prices of course some gpus are approaching their lowest real prices in about a year now prices still aren't great but there are some positives to take away the main driver of these declines is the cooling crypto market this current trend of pricing drops and a decrease in mining profitability for popular coins has been ongoing for a few months now one of the longest periods of cooling in the past NUMBER_TOKEN months like everything crypto it's completely unclear whether this trend will continue next month and anyone that says they can answer that question accurately is kidding themselves but if the trend does continue gpu prices will also keep falling it's really that simple we'll continue monitoring prices for as long as make sense but for now yeah that's pretty much it for this gpu pricing update for the month of january i know you guys at least some of you guys have been finding these videos useful so hopefully this one is another useful video for you and your gpu purchasing i don't know are you going to buy a gpu anytime soon i'm not sure let us know in the comments below um but yeah if you're interested in supporting the channel directly we do have our patreon or floatplane accounts you'll find links to those in the description below you can support our independent testing you can also get access to perks like our discord community and all sorts of other great stuff so thanks for watching and i'll catch you in the next one
