AMD graphics cards likely to rise by 10%, according to new leakA leak suggests AMD will increase prices for its graphics cards and VRAM bundles by 10% for board partners, which is likely to be passed on to consumers. This news comes from a Chinese industry forum and follows recent trends of rising component costs. It is unclear if all AMD GPUs will be affected equally, and Nvidia's pricing strategy remains unmentioned in this report.
2026 is shaping up to be one of the worst years ever for new graphics cards as Nvidia's RTX 50 Super Series refresh…New rumors suggest that Nvidia's RTX 50 Super Series graphics cards, initially rumored for late 2026, have been delayed to early 2027, potentially launching at CES. So far in 2026, only minor revisions like the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE and laptop-specific Nvidia RTX 5070 12 GB have been released, with next-generation architectures from both AMD and Nvidia not expected until late 2027 or 2028.
If this breakdown of the full cost of producing your favourite graphics card is accurate, then prices for certain GPUs are going to make 64 GB DDR5 kits look cheapA breakdown of graphics card production costs suggests that prices for certain GPUs, particularly high-end models, are set to increase significantly. Factors like DRAM shortages, increased wafer prices from TSMC, and rising shipping costs are contributing to these hikes, with some cards already exceeding MSRP and more price surges expected.
Intel's Big Battlemage Arc Pro B70 GPU benchmarked in games, ends up bang-on Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB performanceBenchmarks indicate Intel's Arc Pro B70 GPU offers performance comparable to the Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti in traditional rasterization, but falls behind when ray tracing is enabled. Despite its larger die size and 32 GB of VRAM, the GPU is not being released for gaming due to cost-effectiveness concerns compared to Nvidia's offerings.
Nvidia RTX 5050 review (Palit Dual edition)The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5050 is recommended for budget PC gamers, offering reliable 1080p and decent 1440p performance with upscaling, outperforming Intel's B580 and often undercutting AMD's RX 9060 XT. While it matches the performance of the previous generation's RTX 4060 at a similar price point, its design shows little ambition beyond being 'good enough'. The card runs cool and quiet, and benefits from Nvidia's DLSS 4 technology, making it a solid, if unexciting, choice for those with a strict budget.
'Feel free to start a laptop company and see what suppliers quote you for GDDR7': Framework vents frustration…Framework is facing challenges with the pricing and availability of GDDR7 memory for its laptop graphics modules, particularly the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070. The company's CEO highlighted the impact of the AI industry's demand on memory prices, suggesting that current pricing for components like the 12 GB graphics module, at $1,199, is a reflection of these supply chain issues. Future releases, such as the rumored Nvidia RTX 5050, may also be affected by these trends.
