It can be said that graphics cards are not products solely made for gamers. For technicians, builders, designers, or programmers, this is also one of the most essential components. Due to the nature of their work, they need to run applications that require direct processing capabilities from the GPU. You may have heard of software such as Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw, or AutoCAD, right? These are just a few of the many design software that process images and videos, demanding powerful graphics card capabilities.
However, around this time last year in 2021, it was not easy to purchase a good graphics card to meet work or entertainment needs. The component shortage and the “hot” cryptocurrency market caused graphics cards to be hoarded recklessly, driving prices to unprecedented levels. For example, an RTX 3070 Ti could reach over 30 million VND, or an RTX 3090 nearly 100 million VND, causing average users and gamers to shake their heads in despair. Even if one had enough money, there weren’t always products available for purchase: VGA dealers often prioritized those who had pre-ordered or were buying complete PC setups in a “beer and peanuts” style.
Luckily, the current VGA market is showing signs of stabilization, with prices becoming much more reasonable. The price of a top-tier graphics card like the RTX 3070 Ti has now been halved, making it easier for gamers to access.
The name Galax is quite familiar in the gaming community, known for its premium graphics cards, especially the famed Hall of Fame series, or the uniquely colored VGA models like white and pink…
According to current usage demands, gaming is the most common reason most people seek a dedicated graphics card with good performance. Therefore, it’s also quite common to see countless topics on technology forums and Facebook groups asking questions like: What graphics card should I use? Which graphics card is suitable for gaming, or how to upgrade my graphics card? Which brand of VGA is the best…
The higher the power of the graphics card, the faster the processing speed of game images also increases. This means that the player’s experience is significantly enhanced. Therefore, graphics card manufacturers are becoming more competitive, pushing them to launch more powerful graphics card models. At this point, an RTX 3070 Ti is considered a “national VGA” that can handle all AAA games while being reasonably priced.
Perhaps the dream of gamers has come true as the RTX 3070 Ti is currently at a very attractive price, just in time for the summer break, when the demand for building a PC for entertainment (or preparing for the upcoming school year) is very high among gamers.
Additionally, the VGA market is also undergoing unpredictable changes; this could be the “cooling down” phase before a new wave. Not to mention that the RTX 3000 series models, like the 3070 Ti, are likely to be replaced and discontinued. Therefore, gamers need to consider upgrading to a powerful PC, taking advantage of the time they’ve waited for VGA prices to drop over the past two years.
