B[The price of graphics cards fell sharply after rising for 11 consecutive trading days. Huaqiangbei graphics cards are priced at half a day.] November 7th, graphics cards are hardware mainly used for graphics rendering, and are now also widely used in AI computing. Previously stimulated by rumors of overseas production suspensions, RTX 50 series graphics cards started to rise continuously, rising for 11 consecutive trading days. Starting from October 28, the market suddenly turned downward. RTX 5080 dropped from a high of nearly 20,000 yuan to 16,000 yuan, with the price corrected by 20%. A merchant told reporters: "Agents and merchants stock up in advance, resulting in large price fluctuations, and even large price changes in the morning and afternoon." Although prices have fallen, the current average price of the RTX 50 series of mainstream graphics cards is still 1.7 times the recommended retail price, and the previous large price increases have not yet been digested. The trend of hardware prices in the Huaqiangbei market is also attracting the attention of overseas buyers. The reporter's visit found that overseas merchants have been visiting the store intensively recently to inquire about prices, and the popularity of cross-border procurement of hardware such as graphics cards and memory has increased significantly. Some merchants said, “Foreign customers accounted for more than 50% of sales in October.” (CCTV Finance)
