Linus Tech Tips Discussion

 We knew it was coming, AMD to raise GPU prices due to RAM price increases Summary As the title says, we knew it would happen, guess it gonna be official. I'm sure Nvidia will soon do the same.   Quotes Quote "Following our report from a few days ago, it looks like AMD is the first GPU manufacturer that is expected to raise the prices of its GPU lineup, which would include products within the gaming "Radeon" family. The report comes from Chinese Board Channels, where it is reported that due to rising memory costs, AMD is notifying its partners of an imminent price hike."   "A new post on the Chinese Board Channels forum claims that AMD has notified partners about a second price increase for its GPUs, this time tied directly to higher memory procurement costs. The post says AMD already applied a small adjustment around October that did not change retail prices, while the next hike is expected to be larger and cover all models, with no fixed implementation date yet."   "This price adjustment is fuelled by market dynamics in the memory sector. Major manufacturers of DRAM and flash memory have been increasing their prices due to surging demands from the AI industry. "   My thoughts  Yeah, the AI "boom" is killing the supply chain and causing shortages for a lot of things, RAM, SSD's, HDD's, electricity and causing rising prices on all of them. sucks, just as I was shopping for new pc parts.   Sources https://wccftech.com/amd-notifies-imminent-gpu-price-hike-all-models-affected-due-to-rising-memory-costs/   https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-rumored-to-raise-gpu-prices-just-as-radeon-rx-9070-xt-finally-reaches-msrp   https://www.technetbooks.com/2025/11/amd-increasing-gpu-prices-for-radeon.html
