20 17, the memory has tripled. After 20 19, the graphics card began to climb higher and higher. In March of 202 1, it was ridiculous to the extreme, and it was not until the second half of 202 1 that there was hope to return to the original price. This paper briefly analyzes the ups and downs of graphics cards, and lists some alternatives for friends who are eager to assemble desktops, hoping to help you avoid the pit.
There are many words in the article, but you can click on the corresponding chapter in the catalogue to read it pertinently. You can collect memos and get what you need. If I help you, please give me a compliment for more friends to see, and let everyone spend the most cost-effective money and get the most suitable machine.
The migrant workers cried into tears. When they hesitated to wait and see last year, the new computer was not put on the agenda, thinking that there would be a real wave of price increases in the spring. As a result, the business started, the currency circle skyrocketed, and the graphics card became a "financial card." This is probably the most regrettable thing for many installers from 2020 to 20021.
Let me tell you a fact-last year, 3070,2021won, which was less than 4,000 yuan, was more than 8,000 yuan in March. Although many "mines" were closed in China in 2008, the long-awaited "mine disaster" did not come. What is even more depressing is that the price of graphics cards has not been greatly affected. Even at the end of 2002 1, the news came that "bitcoin plummeted 1 10,000", and the graphics card only dropped by110,000, and the price reduction rhythm of others had almost nothing to do with "mine disaster".
I just checked the e-commerce platform and small yellow croaker. There are 1000 pieces of 3080 everywhere. The civilian team that worked hard in the seafood market did not usher in a real victory. These JS transactions have hardly suffered major trauma.
202 1 the most uncomfortable period at the beginning of the year, 30 series graphics cards soared more than twice, CCTV news reported 10 minutes. The 20 series didn't stop. In 2020, the price of 2060 and 202 1 started at more than 2000 yuan, and rose to 3600 ~ 4200 yuan in early February. Even if your target card is 1660, I'm sorry, you can get a card on 1600 last June, but now the cost is more 1000 yuan. Last year, several of my friends who were admitted to 3060 chose color cards, which were cheap and "satisfied their desires and vanity". After all, it may not cost much to buy 1660 at this price.
Kidney pain. It hurts.
As I said before, if the 30-series graphics card was still "normal price" last year (in fact, many people spray the 30-series too expensive, and the 20-series is more fragrant), it will become a "knife neck" this year. If you are in a hurry to assemble the computer, start with the graphics card, and your wallet will be hit!
Therefore, if you are not a rich kid who spends eight or nine thousand dollars without blinking an eye, you must not be reckless.
The mining tide is so crazy that many people are quite happy.
Businessmen and retail investors who hoarded inventory cards had the happiest days in the first half of 20021year. In the past 1 year, as long as you have the lowest self-use card, you can almost buy cheap 30 series graphics cards and make a steady profit. At this time, the unused RTX3070, 3080 or even 20 series graphics cards can also be cut a little. The 20 series also makes some extra money.
But for students who only have one graphics card, many people are unwilling to sell it. It's like hoarding a house Naturally, you sell more than three sets of 1 set, but only 1 set. No matter how high the house price rises, it can't be bought. More friends who want to install new machines are staring at JD.COM's occasional single-digit goods. If the mouse is broken, it may not be lucky.
As an installed user with real needs, it is really difficult to install computers this year! Is there a reliable way to crack it?
First of all, don't be tempted by JS to buy expensive cards. Not worth it.
Secondly, don't be tempted by JS to buy low-priced cards, because mine cards suffer the most.
Again, don't use the 30 series graphics card, just sit on the ground and wait for the party.
1, select the CPU with its own nuclear display, and use air first.
2. If you can use the old graphics card, you won't buy a new one. 1066 another five years is no problem.
3. Choose a desktop, but be careful that the manufacturer bullies you and doesn't know how to cut your leek.
4. If you just need to play games, it's more cost-effective to give up your PC and directly buy a host such as Switch, PS5 and XBOX.
Explain it a little. Everybody knows. For example, if you want to buy a 30 graphics card on your desktop, and you can basically accept such outdated cards as Beggar Board 3060 or even 1650, then try to buy a ready-made PC assembly machine. Lenovo Blade 7000P series, not the American assembly machine, can be used, but it is best to ask the manufacturer's ambiguous graphics card model before starting.
At the same high cost, you can buy a notebook for two years. For the purchase of notebooks, you can search this article I wrote before: "Cool Pen Points-Yang Qi: Notebooks for College Students, 202 1 What new products are worth recommending? ”》
For ordinary students, if the demand for games is average, it is recommended to choose a notebook with an area of less than 5,000 to pursue a higher price. You can use a good notebook with a price of 7000~8000, and the configuration is much stronger. Generally speaking, the reliability of choosing notebook is higher than that of desktop in this period, so it is completely feasible as a substitute. The only thing to consider is how many meters the cost should be controlled below.
If you want to install a computer just for code words, learning online courses, taking notes, or even hand-drawing, then maybe a tablet with a normal price is the right solution. If the demand is not high and you don't play games, the budget can be controlled within 2500. You can buy the latest Xiaomi flat-panel 5Pro, Huawei MatePad 1 1, or iPad 202 1(iPad 9)64GB at this price. It is suggested that those students who just need it refer to my article "Cool Pen Tip-Yang Qi: A Guide for Students to Use Tablet Computers in 2022 (read articles on price points, advantages and disadvantages, and purchasing guides of different models)".
In fact, instead of coveting the game performance of 30 series graphics cards, it is better to start directly with game consoles, switches and PS5. If you are tired of playing, you can change hands. fall in price is much more valuable than buying a video card.
The advantage of this kind of products is the difference between buying back and selling second-hand, which is also commonly known as "preserving value". When playing games, there will always be boring times. When you are tired of desktop and notebook, its configuration has fallen behind, and the market price or second-hand price has also fallen. Naturally, if you can't sell it at a good price, the owner won't have this trouble.
Some netizens told me privately that I had to install a 30-series graphics card machine. I bought the graphics card and didn't choose other accessories. When I asked about the configuration sheet, I reminded him that the memory and solid state drive would also go up.
You survived the price increase of graphics cards, memory chips and solid state drives. We should know that in 2020, Guangwei brand launched "YiPro" series of pure domestic memory chips and NVMe SSD products, and the quality market was good, forcing big brands to fight price wars. It can be said that it has ended the squeezing history of international giants such as Samsung's "power failure and fire" and made us 100% pure Chinese products proud again. I wrote several articles at that time. Guangweiyi Pro NVMe SSD released. Do foreign manufacturers dare to cut off power or catch fire again? 》。
On February 24th, 20021year, the marketing department of Jiahe Jinwei issued an "early warning", talking about the shortage of wafer supply and the shortage of DRAM and NANDFLASH chips for manufacturing storage chips and solid-state drives, which led to the increase of contract price. It is speculated that the price of memory 202 1 will continue to increase in the first half of the year, or it will not increase and the price will be out of stock.
However, even the domestic brands that are so grounded have issued price increase warnings, and the price increase of memory and SSD is inevitably not groundless! Some friends in the circle believe that this wave of price increase may be a new wave of "back pain" after the price increase of 20 17 to 20 18 solid-state memory graphics cards.
Soon, in April and May of 202 1, a new game of "hard disk mining" was exposed, such as Chia Coin.
How outrageous is the hard disk mine? Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer value exchange; Ethereum is similar to the next generation internet, everything can be loaded, and then the computing power of the graphics card becomes the basis of the mining tide. But what is chia? Can you cook? It's just that some people bent over and came to circle money again.
What is this, a moth? With the hot spot of hard disk mine, in May and June of 20021,both mechanical hard disks with a large capacity of more than 4TB and SSD solid-state hard disks with a capacity of more than 5 12GB and 1TB were increasing in price. Compared with SSD, the increase of large-capacity mechanical hard disk is the most obvious, and the important thing is that it is out of stock.
Later, we learned that it doesn't matter whether the people who play with money are injured or not. The key is that DIY players are seriously injured and have not recovered.
The graphics card is out of stock, so the hard disk can't be used? At present, the price of large-capacity hard disks is still worrying, especially HDD warehouse disks. If there is no demand for warehouse disks in this period, choose a new hard disk or try to buy 1TB and 2TB solid-state hard disks (5 12 is ok, but 256 is not recommended).
In short, at this stage of installation, we should not only look at the graphics card, but also start work early on the hard disk (except that the price increase of memory is related to the price increase of memory chips). I suggest that when your price is good, just wait for the opportunity to hoard one or two SSDs or memory, and don't wait for a new moth from JS to cause the hard disk to rise in price, and then look at JD's empty tears.
Here, I still tend to let everyone support domestic products, such as Guangwei's SSD and pure domestic SSD with titanium gold.
This is the most frequently asked question by fans in private messages, such as the new toothpaste platform Z690+12nd generation Core +DDR5. In all fairness, the current price of DDR5 is not very close to the people, and online comments are often media comments of big V and "aristocratic players", so it is difficult to pay "tax" at this stage. Personally, I think it is better to start with the high-end DDR4 4000 memory, even RGF stripes, which is more cost-effective than DDR5. Interested students search this article for reference: "Cool Pen Tip: Is it better to buy Z690 and choose DDR4 or DDR5 now? 》
As to whether SSD chooses PCIe4, there is no hurry. It's no problem to use DDR4 for a year or two. By the way, I will continue to follow up and supplement the new graphics card recently launched by AMD and the new CPU in the future under the Coldplay column (updated in June 5438 +2022 10).
Installation is a technical job.
In the era when the Internet and e-commerce logistics are underdeveloped, JS is clustered in Zhongguancun, Shenzhen SEG Building and Shenyang Hao San Street, relying on big bluff to let innocent buyers spend big money to buy low-priced second-hand goods. I was pitted by unscrupulous installers that year.
After the internet made the price of hardware transparent and complete, Bitcoin came, which made greedy people flock with crazy and irrational gadgets, which made ordinary buyers feel confused and made me feel that I could choose hardware happily.
We are powerless to resist, but we still have the right to choose. At least, we can choose not to buy.
However, when we just need it, we can only "face up". At this time, you must do your homework, avoid minefields, choose options accurately, and be cautious. I hope this article can make everyone understand the principle, apply what they have learned and do business with less money. # Assemble the computer #
