PC gamers are asking 'what's next?' as RAM crisis sparks further rumors of GPU price hikes, and gaming monitors could get more expensive
Graphics card maker warns that GPUs are due 'substantial' price hikes, and I'd buy now rather than wait — the same might be true of gaming monitors.
PC gamers are expressing concern over the potential rise in GPU prices, as warned by PC Partner Group, the parent company of Zotac. The company has noted that entry-level GPUs are expected to face more severe shortages, which may lead to higher average selling prices in the second half of 2026. Additionally, gaming monitor manufacturer KTC has announced that production costs have increased significantly, and they may consider price adjustments for their products.
AOC has also announced price hikes starting this month due to rising component costs. As the component crisis continues, gamers are left wondering what else could be affected next.
