2021 was a rough year for graphics cards, but 2022 shows a light at the end of the tunnel. Here's what to expect from AMD, Nvidia, and Intel next year.
There’s no denying 2021 was a tough year for GPUs, and for PC enthusiasts as a whole. We all hoped the GPU shortage would be over before the end of the year, but on the cusp of 2022, graphics cards aren’t any easier to find. They certainly aren’t as affordable as they should be.
The rumor mill says that the flagship card from the range will perform around the level of an RTX 3070, but I’m waiting until Intel shares more. Intel has already shared some information about its XeSS upscaling feature that will be included with these graphics cards. It functions similarly to Nvidia’s Deep Learning Super Sampling , and Intel has announced that Hitman 3 and The Riftbreaker will support the feature at launch.
Nvidia’s lineup is missing Ti variants for all but the RTX 3050, and AMD doesn’t have an equivalent to last-gen’s RX 5300M in its lineup yet. Mobile GPUs almost always arrive after their desktop counterparts, so AMD and Nvidia will likely use the first half of the year to build out their mobile offerings.
Prices will drop at some point, but they may not reach the same levels as before. The coronavirus pandemic massively increased the demand for PCs and graphics cards, and that demand hasn’t gone away — even as plenty of people return to the office. Though there are signs of sub-$200 GPUs from AMD and Intel in the future, we don’t have those options. Graphics cards may never be as cheap as they once were.
New generations from AMD and Nvidia Although we may not hear about them for months, AMD and Nvidia have next-gen graphics cards in the works. For Nvidia, it’s the RTX 40-series. A launch in fall 2022 would keep with Nvidia’s usual release cadence, and multiple leakers have pointed to a release around that time.
