Nvidia And AMD Wait Until The Same Time To Raise GPU Prices
Key Points:
- Nvidia is reportedly increasing prices to manufacturers like MSI and Asus by up to 30%, potentially leading to significant GPU price hikes for consumers.
- AMD is also preparing to raise its prices to partners by about 10%, likely following Nvidia's lead in the ongoing price increases.
- Despite the hikes, AMD's Radeon RX 9070 XT remains more affordable than Nvidia's comparable GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, though prices for both have risen substantially.
- The GPU market is seeing a regression with the return of 4GB graphics cards, such as AMD's RX 9050, raising concerns about performance in modern games that require higher VRAM.
- Overall, gamers face rising costs for graphics cards amid the AI-driven demand surge, with AMD and Nvidia prices climbing sharply compared to previous years.
