Recently, in Huaqiangbei, Shenzhen, the price of mainstream video cards has risen sharply since mid-October, and declined markedly after entering November. The RTX 50 series of mainstream video cards has taken a U-turn downward since October 28 after 11 consecutive trading days. Up to now, the lowest price of RTX 5080 has fallen back to 16,000 yuan, which is about 20% lower than the peak of about 20,000 yuan in late October. Some merchants said that agents and merchants prepared to stock up in advance, causing prices to fluctuate greatly, and not even the price in the morning or afternoon. Despite a drop in prices, the current average price of the RTX 50 series of mainstream video cards is still 1.7 times the recommended retail price, and the previous large price increase has not been digested. The reporter visited and found that recently overseas merchants have been intensively visiting stores to inquire for quotations, and the popularity of cross-border procurement of hardware such as video cards and memory has increased markedly. Pakistani buyer: “In Pakistan, the price of video cards has risen very much; it is cheaper to buy them here.” Russian tourists said that the price in Huaqiangbei is still slightly cheaper, about 10% to 15% cheaper. Industry insiders analyzed that due to the influence of AI computing power crowding out consumer-grade chip production capacity, retail prices of video cards in some overseas regions are tightening at the same time as the pace of supply. Some buyers are instead going directly to the Huaqiangbei spot market to find supplies in order to avoid price increases and outages from local channels.
