1: The first thing is the chip constitution. You must know that silicon chips will inevitably have defects during the production process. Those with fewer defects will have good constitution, and those with many defects will have poor constitution. Poor constitution will lead to leakage rate. Compared with those with good physical condition, the voltage will be high if the leakage rate is high, and the heat will be high if the voltage is high, so the frequency will be low. NVIDIA's latest BOOST3.0 technology overclocks the graphics card to the extreme to achieve performance improvement when the graphics card ensures a certain safe temperature and voltage.
So you can see that many graphics cards are marked with a frequency of 1600, but in actual operation they all run at 1800-1900. So the better the chip, the higher the upper limit of BOOST, so even if it is the same model Chips with good constitution will always have a little more frequency than those with poor constitution. More frequency means more performance. Many graphics cards have a higher factory frequency than other graphics cards. Using this as a selling point is actually to fool the novice. Due to the existence of boost3.0, the basic frequency of the graphics card is basically the same as the display. Of course, a graphics card with a higher base frequency may have boost. A little higher than other cards, but this difference can be ignored.
2: Appearance design, you can find that the more expensive the graphics card, the more handsome the appearance, and the cheaper the graphics card, the lower the appearance. These days, mobile phones are all about a good appearance, why can’t the graphics card be high-end? Good looks naturally bring high prices. Mobile phones can earn a premium based on their appearance, so why can’t graphics cards. The better the appearance, the more expensive the designer and design fees are. The design and production costs increase. Naturally, this part of the cost is not borne by the manufacturer. The wool comes from the sheep, so it can only be paid by the consumer.
3: Heat dissipation level. The graphics card itself is a major heat generator. You can find that half of the graphics card volume is radiator. The radiator effects of different manufacturers are definitely different. Some graphics cards directly An aluminum block is pressed on the chip. Some have several heat pipes interspersed, some have direct contact with the heat pipes, and some have a pure copper base. The number of heat pipes is also different, some have 2 heat pipes, and some have 6 heat pipes. Different heat pipes have different heat dissipation effects. , as well as how quiet the fan is, and whether it supports the low-temperature auto-stop function. Expensive graphics cards must dissipate heat much better than cheap ones. Some graphics cards even come with integrated water cooling or Feng Shui integrated graphics, which is much more expensive than pure air cooling. Better heat dissipation also allows BOOST3.0 to perform better and perform better.
4. Materials used. Although the chip model is the same, the things on the circuit board are not necessarily the same. Japanese capacitors, Taiwanese capacitors, tantalum capacitors, ceramic capacitors. Different capacitors have different prices. 10 pieces Capacitors can also turn on the machine, even 20 capacitors can turn on. Here is the price difference. Secondly, the wiring method of the circuit board and the power supply of the graphics card. These are all costs that need to be considered. As the cost goes up, the price will naturally go up. A graphics card with a good power supply will , making overclocking easier.
5 Brand premium/belief is priceless. Theoretically speaking, the material costs of iPhone8plus and Xiaomi MIX2S are the same. Why can Xiaomi only sell for more than 3,000, but Apple can sell for more than 5,000? This is the brand effect. Even if Apple’s mobile phone is expensive, people will pay for it. But if Xiaomi sells it for 5,000 yuan, you won’t be criticized to death. This is the brand effect. The Alienware laptop is so cost-effective and has poor heat dissipation. Why are there still people buying it? Isn't it just faith? Faith is priceless, and many LOGOs are worth the money. Even if Asus graphics cards are expensive, some people will pay for them. If Zotac is expensive, some people will pay for them. Do you think small manufacturers like Mingxuan dare to sell expensive cards?
