'GPU pricing to climb significantly' warns a PC maker in the US
There's a salvo of worrying rumors for GPUs, including that graphics cards will get 'significantly' pricier.
Over the weekend, several concerning developments have emerged in the world of GPUs, potentially leading to a significant increase in pricing. According to a US-based PC maker, retail GPU prices are expected to rise substantially. This claim was supported by StinceBuilt, who reported supply constraints on graphics cards, resulting in higher retail prices.
Additionally, a rumor suggests that AMD has increased the cost of GDDR6 video RAM, which will be passed onto consumers through higher graphics card prices. Lastly, a leak from a GPU leaker indicates that Nvidia has discontinued the RTX 5090, with the remaining chips allocated for higher-end AI graphics cards. This could mean the end of the RTX 5090, with a replacement still years away.
The situation appears dire, and the author advises purchasing GPUs sooner rather than later due to the potential for further price hikes in 2027.
