The data published by the National Bureau of Statistics yesterday showed that in April, the consumer price index (CPI) in our country increased by 5.3% year-on-year, a decrease of 0.1 percentage points compared to March. This is the first time this year that the year-on-year increase in our country's CPI has declined. The New York Times: Venture Capital and eBay are the winners of Microsoft's acquisition of Skype. However, breaking through 5 again means that our country still faces relatively high inflation pressure. Among them, food prices increased by 11.5%, non-food prices increased by 2.7%; consumer goods prices increased by 5.9%, and service project prices increased by 3.9%.
Fortunately, in the DIY hardware market, price cuts are always the mainstream. Even if there may be temporary price increases due to shortages at some point in time, overall, it is still mainly about decline, especially in the graphics card market where updates and replacements happen fastest. In the statistics of the CPI, ultra-low-price GT440 graphics cards impacting the mid-to-low-end DX11 market will absolutely lower the average value. Today, I will recommend a few cost-effective low-end graphics cards to everyone. Buying a graphics card and staying at home to play games is not a bad way to save money on entertainment.
