Historic demand leads to a 39% increase in GPU shipments in Q1 2021

Graphics-card vendors are shipping a huge amount of their products to try to meet the increased global demand for GPUs. This led to a 38.74% year-over-year increase in video card shipments in Q1 2021, according to industry-tracking intelligence firm Jon Peddie Research.

In its latest report, JPR analysts project that discrete graphics cards (the ones that don’t come built into the CPU) will reach 26% of the total market by 2025.
