That's just great: Graphics card prices in China are set to increase again as Nvidia shifts even more of production…
Graphics card prices in China are reportedly set to increase again due to manufacturers shifting production. Asus and Gigabyte are planning price hikes for Nvidia cards, while AMD has also increased prices for several models. This trend is attributed to Nvidia prioritizing AI GPU production over consumer-grade GeForce cards, leading to reduced supply and higher costs for consumers.
No Matter Which You Choose, Graphics Cards Are About To Get A Lot More Expensive
Graphics card prices are set to increase significantly, with both Nvidia and AMD implementing hikes of 20-30% and at least 10% respectively. This rise is attributed to increased demand and pricing from memory suppliers like Samsung. The price increases are expected to impact consumers as partners are unlikely to absorb the costs, and console manufacturers like Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony have already adjusted or are planning to adjust their own hardware prices.
AMD is reportedly raising graphics card prices—it was just waiting for Nvidia to do it first
AMD is reportedly planning to increase the supply price of its GPU and VRAM bundles by at least 10%, following a similar move by Nvidia which is said to have raised prices by up to 30%. These increases are attributed to high demand for components driven by AI development and a global memory crisis. While these are partner prices, they are expected to be passed on to consumers starting next month.
