Graphic Card Expect to Rise 3rd Quarter of 2018!

Although we all know that the main culprit of price inflation of GPU is "Cryptomining" there will be another.

“Apple and Samsung are willing to pay more for this memory to make sure they get it first and all of it that they need. This has

created a shortage of memory for the much smaller companies like MSI, Gigabyte, Asus, and EVGA to make graphics cards.”

Here's the catch!
Mobile phones will not use the HBM2 or GDDR5 due to power requirements.
It's posibble that GPU manufacturer will create new trend of technology solely for Mobile usage.
If they come up with a solution, this issue will not affect the price of GPU for computer alone.

Who will benefit of this booming price?
Ofcourse GPU manufacturer, given the fact Apple and Samsung will pay watever the price just to be the first. Local distributors and resellers.

Who will suffer the most?
New PC builders with a budget of $500 or 25,000php. Only those "Rich Kid" can afford a GTX 1080 ti with a price range of 45,000 -

50,000 or even more depending on the brand and specifications.

Planning to have your own Computer Shop this 2018?
AMD Ryzen 3 2200g and Ryzen 5 2400g already arrived in the Philippines. Thanks to AMD technology Accelerated Processing Unit

(APU) gamers have a choice not to buy a dedicated Graphic Card for the mean time. It can Dota 2, LoL CS:Go and other Esports game.
Intel Pentium Series like G4500 - G4600 can also be a choice paired up with a GTX 1050 GPU. An entry-gaming build that can run Tripple A Games in Low-Medium Settings, expect a bit of Lag and graphic stutter.

Alternative for Gamers?
Console Gaming. Playstation 4 - Xbox One X - Nintendo Switch will be the last option will you want to be part of this latest gaming stuff.
Latest SRP:
PS4 Pro is 22,900php
Xbox One X is 28,995
Nintendo Switch is 18,895php

*price change depends on the store and bundle promo, make sure to chcek all store before buying
