PC Gamer reports that, after tracking graphics-card prices for a full year, it has found the current market conditions to be the worst in that period. The finding matters because it suggests buyers face particularly poor value and limited affordability when trying to upgrade or build a gaming PC.

The article frames its conclusion around a year-long comparison of graphics-card pricing, rather than a single short-term fluctuation. No detailed prices, models or market causes are included in the supplied text, but the headline indicates that the situation has deteriorated beyond every earlier point in the tracking period.
