They do know or have an idea. It just if its not happening in their backyard they dont care. All the average consumer cares about is availability and price. Outside of that they dont care how its produced, who produced it and the costs associated with production. 

 

You give most consumers way too much credit. Most don't have a clue,, in fact even today i bet most people can't guess where somthing is made without looking at the labelling info about that.

After the United States placed tariffs on Chinese goods in 2018

As far as the tariffs go it depends on the new administration.

Disclaimer: This reply contains a political statement, but is in no way designed to elicit political discussion or response. It is a statement of fact, with evidence, on the tariffs levied against imported goods from China, which attempts only to answer the OPs original question about whether the prices of computer components will stay high in the US. Any moderator please remove if this violates the "no-politics" rule.

 

It is likely that the tariffs will stay around, at least for some weeks or months.

Biden, who takes office in 9 days from now, says that he has no intention of immediately removing those tariffs, and instead plans to review them first. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/02/biden-tells-nyt-columnist-he-wont-immediately-remove-trumps-tariffs-on-china.html

Hell even labeling can be highly deceptive i.e "Assembled in [country]" gets mistaken by many as made in, different thing.

Even in Italy prices are messed up. Stuff like the GTX1050ti which costed way less before now it costs a lot

The price for GPUs is set based on ROI per price of the coin and expense of electricity costs.

 

If Crypto goes goes up to a million bucks a coin, then a GPU could be worth more than a Toyota Lexus. So be it.

Our 4th of July is especially ironic given the patriotism. Where were those fireworks made? What's that next to all those little tiny flag? "Made in (anywhere but US)"

I would gladly sell my 2060 Super for a car! I would put gaming on hiatus for that.
