AMD Joins Nvidia in Graphics Card Price Hikes Amid Ongoing Memory Shortages

The ongoing memory crisis has led to price hikes in graphics cards from both AMD and Nvidia. According to a report, AMD is increasing its prices by 10% for its partners, following in the footsteps of Nvidia's own hike of up to 30%. The company reportedly waited until after Nvidia had made their move before making its own adjustments.

The price increases will likely be passed on to consumers, but it's unclear how much of the hike companies will absorb themselves. This means that graphics cards from both AMD and Nvidia are set to become even more expensive than they already are.

However, there is some good news for budget-conscious buyers. Leaks suggest that a new line of Radeon RX 9050 cards with just 4GB of VRAM may be released soon. This is concerning, as many modern games do not scale well to lower VRAM systems.
