Graphics cards are hardware mainly used for graphics rendering, and are now also widely used in AI computing power. Previously stimulated by rumors of discontinuation of production overseas, RTX 50 series video cards began a continuous rise, rising for 11 consecutive trading days in one go. Starting October 28, the market suddenly took a U-turn downward. The RTX 5080 dropped from a high of nearly 20,000 yuan to 16,000 yuan, and the price was reduced by 20%. A merchant told the reporter, “Agents and merchants stocked up goods in advance, causing prices to fluctuate greatly, even in the morning and afternoon.” Despite a drop in prices, the current average price of the RTX 50 series of mainstream video cards is still 1.7 times the recommended retail price, and the previous large price increase has not been digested. The trend in hardware prices in the Huaqiangbei market has also attracted the attention of overseas buyers. The reporter visited and found that recently overseas merchants have been intensively visiting stores to inquire for quotations, and the popularity of cross-border procurement of hardware such as video cards and memory has increased markedly. According to some merchants, “Foreign customers accounted for more than 50% of sales in October.”
