Nvidia Graphics Cards Are About to Get Even More Expensive
IGN • • technology
Key Points:
- Nvidia is expected to raise prices on its graphics cards by up to 30% due to a 20% increase in DRAM prices from Samsung, the memory chip supplier.
- This potential price hike would affect the entire lineup of Nvidia's Blackwell GPUs, not just the high-end models, with mid-range GPUs like the RTX 5070 possibly rising from $650 to around $850.
- Earlier price increases this year mainly impacted high-end GPUs, such as the RTX 5090, which rose to about $5000 and could reach $6500 if prices increase again.
- The ongoing global RAM crisis is worsening, prompting concerns from companies like Valve and Microsoft about further price increases in PC components.
- Nvidia has not yet commented on the reported price increases, and the exact impact on retail prices remains uncertain.
