After a break for a pandemic in Las Vegas, the exhibition of the main achievements of consumer electronics CES - Consumer Electronics Show was again held. Developers of gadgets, electronics and electric vehicles showed their main developments, which will soon be on store shelves.
Scarcity Era Video CardsDespite the shortage of semiconductors and the accompanying shortage of graphics accelerators, AMD and Nvidia have announced new budget graphics cards: the Radeon RX 6500 XT and the GeForce RTX 3050.
Vendors promise that the performance of new models will not interest miners and they will not sweep them off the shelves. Thus, companies plan to eliminate the lack of supply in the market. Intel also plans to capitalize on the increased consumer interest in graphics accelerators.
AMD's latest offering, the Radeon RX 6500 XT, uses the RDNA 2 architecture. It's the same technology that powers the latest generation of gaming consoles, the Sony PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. The RX 6500 XT will suit gamers who play at 1080p and high graphics settings. According to the largest digital video game store Steam, about 67% of gamers use monitors with this resolution.
