Ethereum Merge signals end of GPU shortage, but not necessarily high prices
But while both companies bemoaned declining PC sales, Sag isn’t seeing it, at least not among computer game fans. “I’m not seeing much demand pull back from gamers. If anything, I would say lots of gamers are more interested in building PCs now than they have been in the last two years,” he told us.
But the risk is making a bad bet on when the inevitable crash will come. Historically, vendors have been caught off guard by these periodic crashes, but this time they should have seen it coming, Sag argued. “It’s a double whammy. It’s that the price of crypto has fall so much that it’s no longer economical to produce on GPUs, and then the most popular way and most profitable way to mine also disappeared overnight,” Sag said.The crypto collapse may have hurt AMD and Nvidia’s partners, but Sag ultimately sees the situation as a “net positive” for gamers. And while pricing and availability on existing GPUs may be improving, not all cards are getting cheaper.
For Nvidia, this may not be a bad play, he said, as the people who can afford to spend a thousand-plus dollars on a GPU are the least likely to feel the brunt of an economic downturn. “That’s why you see a lot of luxury brands continuing to do well even when other brands are saying, ‘we’re seeing decreased sales.’”
