⚠️ GPU Prices Are Rising in 2026 – What You Need to Know
No, they won't "explode" overnight, but confirmed hikes are starting now:
• AMD: Already increased costs on RX 9000 series (+$10–$40 depending on VRAM), with more adjustments underway.
• NVIDIA: Expected increases in Feb, affecting RTX 50 series.
• Partners like ASUS: Official price bumps from Jan 5 on GPUs & other products.
Primary cause → Skyrocketing memory costs (GDDR/HBM/DRAM) due to massive AI demand outpacing supply.
Impact: Gradual retail increases likely all year. High-end cards (e.g., RTX 5090) seeing the biggest pressure.
If you're planning a PC build/upgrade, compare prices now—deals may thin out soon.
