November 22, 2019, Moscow, M.Video-Eldorado Group (PJSC M.video, MICEX: MVID), the largest Russian retail company selling electronics and household appliances, part of the SAFMAR Group of Mikhail Gutseriev, analyzed the demand for gaming peripherals: in the nine months of 2019, sales of keyboards, mice and headsets reached 2,4 .4,6 million devices worth about 5 billion rubles, which is higher than last year’s results by 11% in units and 7% in money. At M.Video and Eldorado, demand for accessories increased by 14% in units and 21% in money, above the market. The share of gaming devices in units of sales of the entire category reached XNUMX%, that is, every fifth accessory purchased is intended for games and entertainment.

Accessories for PC gamers, due to technological and design solutions, actively compete with classic peripherals, sales of which decreased by 6% in units and a quarter in money. In Russia, over the nine months of 2019, 8,8 million mice and keyboards for the office were sold for a total of 6,4 billion rubles. Thus, the total peripherals market amounted to 11,2 million devices and 11 billion rubles.

The average bill for gaming computer accessories increased by 6% to RUB 1. (this is 900 times higher than that of “office” ones). In each segment of gaming peripherals, more than half of sales come from models from the lower price segment up to 2,5 thousand rubles, while the highest positive dynamics were shown by the most expensive peripherals from 1,5-3 thousand rubles, which are distinguished by additional functions and build quality . In each of the peripheral segments, the most popular brand in unit sales remains Bloody. Other market leaders are also strengthening their positions - HyperX, Logitech, Razer.

The advantages of gaming mice over “office” mice are improved ergonomics, more durable build and short response time, built-in RGB backlight, as well as an optical sensor for convenient and precise control. Distinctive features of gaming keyboards are programmable and dedicated keys, backlit buttons and housing, phantom click suppression function and additional connectors. 99,9% of gamers chose wired keyboards this year. A third of purchased accessories are mechanical keyboards, which, in addition to durability, are characterized by high accuracy and speed. Compared to standard headsets, models for gamers have detailed sound with a predominance of low frequencies, which allows you to more accurately sense the distance and direction of the sound source in the game. Additional advantages may include increased sensitivity of the microphone to voice, more comfortable materials and less weight.

“Dedicated peripherals are becoming an integral part of the modern gamer's arsenal because they are designed to last, take gameplay to the next level and provide additional benefits. At the gaming hubs M.Game and EldoPlay, both beginners and experienced players will find everything they need at the best prices for an interesting and comfortable pastime,” notes Oleg Reznikov, head of the Entertainment and Photo/Video department of the M.Video-Eldorado Group. .

In addition to mice, keyboards and headphones, gaming peripherals include gaming chairs, which have become 8,6 times more popular in units and 7 times in money. Fans of games and entertainment are increasingly purchasing ergonomic chairs that will allow them to avoid fatigue and discomfort during gaming sessions for longer. Specialized furniture reduces stress on the muscles and spine, ensuring a natural body position. The average bill for seats decreased by 20% to RUB 16. The cost depends on the build quality, upholstery materials, the ability to adjust the height of the armrests, backrest and seat, as well as the presence of other functions.

A new NVIDIA Game Ready driver is available for the game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order from Respawn Entertainment (released November 15th). The new driver also adds support for three new G-SYNC compatible monitors.

With the new driver, VR gaming fans will be able to enjoy Insomniac Games' Stormlands, which PC Gamer says is arguably the best VR game of 2019. It's important to ensure the best possible quality for your game when it's released, but this is especially important for VR projects that are extremely susceptible to potential performance hitches that can ruin the immersive VR experience.

Three new G-SYNC compatible displays

The G-SYNC Compatible program expands the G-SYNC ecosystem of devices and allows customers to select a display with a good variable refresh rate (VRR).     

The list of G-SYNC compatible displays now includes almost 60 models after the addition of the Acer XB273U, Acer XV273U and ASUS VG259Q monitors.

Through the G-SYNC Compatible program, NVIDIA works with monitor manufacturers to test monitors that support Adaptive Sync technology for compatibility. Monitors that pass the test receive G-SYNC compatible status. See the full list of such monitors here.

Game Ready drivers from NVIDIA

NVIDIA Game Ready drivers are released on or before the release of popular games to ensure gamers have the best experience. An additional guarantee of the quality of Game Ready drivers is the WHQL certificate from Microsoft.
