    depends on how youre defining price. memory/storage is at its lowest point atm. CPUs are extremely competitive and AMD still ridiculously supports the AM4 platform. Monitor specs/price point are constantly dropping.

    the only rhing that hasnt depreciated much is high end Nvidia gpus, because of AI reasons.

      Now that EVGA does not product Nvidia cards anymore I don’t find much reason to purchase Nvidia over Amd now.

        Why? Evga cards were cool but once in your computer they perform just the same as other AIB’s.

          evga has a following because being a U.S based company, they had the best warranty service. the major brick and mortar taiwanese brand giants (Asus/MSI/Gigabyte) have a storied history about how stingy they are about RMAs for expensive products.

          take for example hardware defects.

          when Asus had the x3d fuck up, they tried to put text saying using their beta bios would void your warranty. when evga had things like the exploding 980tis and to a lesser extent, 1080ti, they basically no question replaced them, sometimes for a better gpu.

        its on the rise because it was very recently at its lowest point. Nand prices were absurdly low, and if it was at its lowest point, that implies it had to have been lower than previous prices, especially covid.
