PC Gaming Market Is Slowing Down

The pandemic boom had boosted the PC gaming market, but it seems that effect is now fading away. During 2020 - 2021, the graphic cards from Nvidia were difficult to find due to the high demand. But now, the same graphic cards are available in the retail market with discounts.

However, Nvidia has made an announcement recently that its new graphic cards will carry a higher price than the older models.

The gaming division of Nvidia reported sales of $1.57 billion which were down by 51% on a yearly basis. However, the company claims that the retailers already have a lot of inventory. This forced the company to sell less as the current supply was surpassing the demand.
