 What's up internet? Tad tapos na yung pandemic and yung GPU are magedon, maraming pa rin nagtatanong if now is the best time to buy a graphics card. And there are two ways you can answer that. Number one, you can be sort of like this internet critic na... Ano yung fans? Ano klasing PC shop to? The Burge Philippines? The Burge Philippines? Puro ka opinion, dami tayong mong sinasurf na Facebook group, brands, anong okay, anong hindi. And based on all of those opinions, you can tell your friend, pare, tanga ka. Matka bumili ng graphics card? Overpriced pa ngayon? Overpriced! That's one way to do it. The second way to do it is the hardware sugar weight. Not based on opinion, but based on facts. Ano ba talaga yung data? Ano ba talaga yung numbers? So for the past more than three months na, around 15 weeks, every week kinokulik namin yung GPU prices and yung CPU prices from the four largest PC retailers dito sa atin. So we've been gathering data for a long time, we summarize it, we analyze it, and then when we have a factual basis for giving an opinion, for giving a suggestion, dun palang namin sa sabihin kung ok naman talaga bumili ng GPU ngayon. But if you're wondering, saan yung mga usual retailers na you're familiar with, hardware sugar is the only shop which gets free publicity on this channel. So tinago ko yung mga pangalan nila under Alias S from Science Fiction, kaya na dun si Wedge, na dun si Roy, et cetera. The names are fake, but the data is real. All of our data you can see for yourselves. Itong Google Sheet na ginagamit namin, public to yung link na sa description below, nabangit ko na rin sa ibang price watch episodes namin. So don't take our word for it. Nanjana yung actual numbers you can go in, we've summarized them. We also have a few color coded sales para madaling tingnan. Yung blue, ok yan, meaning price decrease. Yung red, not too good, meaning may price increase. Tapos nakachop-chop na rin yung data into weekly summaries. And you don't need to wait for a video from us, kasi we only do this kind of episode once a month, but the Google Sheet we update once a week. So if you're looking to buy a GPU or a CPU, you can check this sheet anytime. Available to online 24-7. Weekly namin to in update. And then once a month, we come up with a price watch episode like this. Barami na kaming na tulungan. Dati, I'm so depressed. But now, I'm from the love of my life.

Alright, let's get to the data. And we've been doing this since October 15. Fast forward 15 weeks. Pinhalates natin is Feb 6. And we'll start out with AMD GPUs this time, usually Nvidia. But we've noticed na yung 7900XTX has been selling quite well. When we started tracking it last week or two weeks ago, it was hard to find the store na may availability. And that tracks with yung international sales. Other outlets have been reporting na mabilis mabenta yung 7900XTX. Although this week, two out of our four stores do have it. And at a reasonable price, tinamon mo yung average price nung 7900XTX. It's Php 71,000 compared to yung Php 4090 na Php 111,000. Granted, yung performance naman yung 7900XTX isn't on par with the Php 4090. But even, let's say for the Php 4080, pretty good comparison if you're not looking at the RTX performance. The Php 4080 comes in more than 10% more expensive at around Php 85,000. Okay, it's basically 20% more expensive than the Php 4080. So that's really what you get with the AMD GPUs. Much better performance for the price if you're not looking for RTX performance. Going through the not much change with the other AMD cards. So we tracked the 6500XT but yung 6700XT not too much of a change there. Moving on to NVIDIA cards. ROY has had significant price drops. So yung datin ni ROY last week was Php 9690 for the Php 1650. Nagbago siya ng model to Zotac and it went down several hundred. So not, yung malaki yung at that price level. Tumas actually in Php 3050 niya by a lot from Php 15,000 or so naging Php 18,000. So big jump. But the Php 3060 has gone down a little bit. The Php 4090 also a little bit more in line with the average price of the Php 4090. So not much change. Actually we had a lot of price drops nung January. Nag-drop sila nung December and then nag-hold steady yung price drop. Di na aliti naas nung January. And that seems to be the new price now. On the average NVIDIA GPU prices have also not gone up. And basically the last week of our data is pretty boring. You'll notice konti lang nakakolor code so that means no changes in the prices for the NVIDIA GPUs. So may kong ting taas due to menyo tumas konte si Joker when it's 1350. And actually I noticed an error. I'll correct it now. Same lang ngang price ni Joker sa 3050 niya. So it's still 18750 so we'll correct that now. So really a very pristine malinis na malinis tung sheet natin for the latest week na Feb 6. We do have the average prices here but we'll go into that in a little bit because we do have a separate tab for that. Scrolling down to the CPU side even more good news, lahat price drops. All of the price differences na we saw bumaksak yung presyo rather than tumas. That's true for the 5600X of wedge, the 5600X of Roy, the 3600 of Roy and then everything else the same. So again, a pretty boring week pero boring in a good way na bumabay ang mga prices. Especially we're still seeing a lot of good deals, a lot of good prices for the AMD 5000 series which really does provide good value for money. Hindi siya yung latest, 7000 na yung AMD series but the 5000 series still has a lot of performance left. Maganda pa rin yung 5000 series. There was a big push ba AMD late Christmas time to try to sell a lot of the 5000 stock para people can move on to the 7000. It still seems they have stock though and the prices are still good. So just to review the past movement, you can really see in January 18 daming trending downwards. So all of wedges GPUs went down including an AMD GPU. Si Roy medyo tumas konte. To si Roy medyo unpredictable yung pricing patterns but Joker also mostly down. Wash a little bit up for some of them but down with the 4080. And then as I mentioned, you can really see price drops in the AMD series. So it was pina kahay and even the 7000 series had some price drops around Christmas time or early New Year. The Intel CPUs dropped slightly but they held basically steady. They have been pretty steady for the past couple of months. So this is Jan 18, the Jan 25, not too much movement, Jan 25 with CPUs. With GPUs again, medyo nag slow down yung movement not too much if any movement at all pababa. So the trend, especially for the 3000 cards and below pababa talaga siya. Big difference from the pandemic, GPU Armageddon time na ayaw talaga ayaw talaga bumagsak ng mga pre-show. Feb 1, the data point before our most recent data point mostly shows blue. Especially on the CPU side where even the 7000 series is getting little price drops. And then we come to the latest data point where it's very clean. Yung yun nga, konti lang yung mga price differences. Roy, kind of like the outlier didn't drop a lot. In fact, tumas pang early this year medyo bumagsak na rin yung mga pre-show. Shifting to our tab, the weekly summary, it's a lot easier to see here the trends of the prices. So for week 15, the latest week, yung average price ni 1650 is around 9,900. That's lower slightly than it was at the start of the year. At the start of the year mga 10,170 siya. So it's a type price dip for the 1650 over the span of this year so far. The 3050 hasn't really changed. Paikut-ikut lang siya around the 7000 Peso mark. Same with the 3060 back again to high 21,000 level. Although it did peak at around the end of January closer to 24,000. So the average price is much better. 3080 average price around 56,000. Pretty good value actually for a card that can give you that much performance. So a lot of people a lot of our customers have been actually getting 3080s instead of going for the 40 series cards. You miss out on DLSS-3 which is the latest implementation of NVIDIA's upscaling technology. But a lot of games don't support DLSS-3 at this point. So it's more like proven performance. You're getting proven performance at a relatively decent price point. Hindi pa rin mura yung 56,000 pesos but it's a much better price than what we've seen in the past. Especially for a high-end card like the 3080. Jumping to the 4080 this price has not moved since the 2nd week of January. So if you're looking to buy maybe it will go down. We do expect the 40 series cards to maybe drop a little bit considering that more of the line is coming out this year with the 4060s, the 4070ti just came out. So usually that's some price pressure on the higher price cards to drop slightly. And the 4090 same thing has not really moved since the start of the year. MDGPUs we do have data now for the XTX as I mentioned around 71,000 pesos much cheaper than either the 4090 or the 4080. And there are still good deals to be had for the 6,000 series cards damning discounts for those cards. You're not really seeing them in the prices of the retailers that we're tracking but if you can get but if you can find a store that will get them brand new from the dealers because the dealers are trying to sell out their stocks on damning mga promos damning discounts. Like dito's hardware sugar we can custom order a 6,000 series GPU for you and that's become a popular option for our customers as well kasi ang baba talaga ng presyo and you know the performance the lower the price the more attractive a card mas magad ng price to performance ratio niya. So you definitely might want to consider that as well you can PM us kung makana ba yung latest prices nung 6,000 series cards because the price drops aren't really being shown by the big retailers. Feeling ko kasi may inventory pa sila nabili nila dati mas mahal ay nila bitawan at a lower price so they still keep the prices high but for a small shop we don't have any inventory pupunta na kami sa distributor ngayon mas baba na yung presyo so we can get it at a lower cost na hindi rin kami malulugi. For AMD CPUs the 7 950X is at its lowest point ever that we've seen at around 36,000 pesos 7600X hasn't changed from last week so it's around 17,000 pesos 5600X at a good price that hasn't really changed again hasn't changed same with the 5600G and the R5 3600 Interesting price column here between the 5600G and the 3600 5600G kind of entry level for the 5,000 series it does come with integrated graphics the R5 3600 more performance oriented but a 3000 series so which CPU do you go for even if you're thinking of putting a GPU always medyo tricky to answer that medyo performance from the previous gen with an entry level na very decent from the current gen I know 5,000 series is not current for AMD but I still think of the 5,000 as still very good still very viable for 2023 and right now the prices are basically the same so I don't know which way I would go leaning slightly actually towards personal opinion the R5 3600 just because you know I don't need the integrated graphics I would pair it with the GPU but yeah it's really neck and neck very hard to compare for Intel CPUs not much of a drop talaga I mean it's amazing tina matong 3900K since the week that we had data that's week 2 that's around late October around 38,000 peso siya jump to our latest data point 15 weeks or so 14 weeks or so later and it's still at that price point not much variance talaga sa mga Intel CPUs 1300K is the same the first data point we had was around 21,000 and it's still around 21,000 now 14 months or so later sorry 14 weeks or so later and the 12500 actually has gone up the average price when we first started tracking it was around 14,200 now it's around 14,800 so interesting there that it's the AMD CPUs that are actually dropping with the 13th gen Intel holding their own despite the fact na kung if you've listened to our podcast from last week you know that Intel is in serious financial trouble and their cutting costs left and right they still made a profit last year but their profitability is in serious question dami nilang kinakoscut because the company as a whole is worried na their profits have gone way down and yet that sense of urgency yung pagsak ng preyso hindi pa nakikita sa local market natin so here we are a month and a half into 2023 mid-february prices are looking good especially if you're interested in AMD CPUs or even NVIDIA GPUs I mean, a 3080 at around low 50s is not cheap but not bad for the performance that you're getting I hope nakatulong tong episode na to to help you decide whether now is the time to pull the trigger and remember that this Google Sheet is available all the time 24-7 we only do this episode once a month summarizing the data but the data itself is available yung link na sa video description below it's available anytime that you want to check kung bibilik ka ng GPU ng CPU kahit hindi galing sa amin galing sa ibang store feel free to bookmark this link and just check it periodically from time to time kasi every week talaga namin na update medyo has health update to be honest I still do everything manually but we make it a point talaga na at least once a week in the update so that we can keep collecting data and we can see the price trends moving forward thanks for watching Paming saan may nagtanong kumikilala ba kami ng computer shop na trusted yung hindi kalolo ko hin actually meron kami full service PC store ang hardware sugar nagbabenta kami ng PC components nagbabenta rin kami ng fully assembled rigs we clean computers kasama na rin yung excellent cable management namin and CPU cooler repasting sa cleaning we also clean and repaste GPUs na sa makati yung physical store namin and you can also buy from our site www.hwsugar.ph na 100% palaging up to date yung inventory dun kung instock yung item sa amin available yung sa site we also ship nationwide thanks for watching and maybe one of these days maghita tayo sa shop
