The cost of some categories of components for PC decreased significantly. So, the price tag of video cards has decreased by 20-50%. How writes “Kommersant” referring to their experts, the fall in value is due to the decrease in the popularity of mining due to the fact that Ethereum transferred to a system without the use of video cards.

Press service Ozone in the comment “Gambling” somewhat clarified the situation regarding sales on its site. According to marketplace employees, prices for some video cards decreased by 5-10% in November compared to October. One of the reasons for this was the release of the new RTX 4080 and RTX 4090 models.

“On our site in November 2022, unit sales of video cards grew 7 times year on year. This was influenced by a multiple increase in the range over the year, the high availability of all current models and a price reduction by an average of almost 50% compared to the previous year.

In November, compared to October, unit sales in the category increased by 12% – here the past sale on November 11 played its role. In addition to video cards, sales of RAM boards on Ozon increased by almost 40% in November, while there was no price reduction, as for video cards.”

According to Kommersant, prices have increased in the categories “hard drives” and “motherboards”. Moreover, hard drives have become more expensive by an average of 13%. Here, the cost growth was influenced by the departure of all manufacturers from Russia, difficulties with deliveries through parallel imports and logistics costs.

According to Ozon in a commentary to Igromania, sales of hard drives in physical terms have tripled year-on-year, while sales of RAM have already grown six-fold over the same period.

As for motherboards, it is difficult to purchase and deliver them due to complicated logistics, and parallel imports add 12-20% to the price.
