AMD Hikes Graphics Card Memory Prices, Your Next GPU Could Cost More
Gamers and PC builders: get ready to pay more for a new graphics card.
Deep Dive
Is an AMD price hike coming too? That's the question being asked after Nvidia just discontinued the 5090 in favor of RTX Pros. According to the article, the move raises the possibility that AMD could follow with a price change of its own. For now, that's an open question — not a confirmed one.
Key Points
- AMD has raised prices for GDDR6 memory, a key component in graphics cards.
- Board partners will pay more, and those costs will likely be passed to consumers.
- This follows Nvidia discontinuing its RTX 5090, making high-end GPUs pricier and harder to find.
Why It Matters
If you're building or upgrading a PC, expect to pay more for a graphics card soon.
