GPU Prices Skyrocket: Nvidia and AMD Cards See Massive Price Hikes

Nvidia and AMD graphics cards have seen significant price hikes over the past three months, according to a recent report from PriceSquirrel. The average price of Nvidia GPUs has risen by 41.3%, while AMD's prices have increased by 28.3% since June.

The largest spike in prices occurred in July and August for Nvidia GPUs, with some models seeing increases of over $1,000. For example, the Gigabyte AORUS GeForce RTX 5090 Xtreme WATERFORCE model now costs over $7,100, up from its original price of around $6,900.

Experts point to memory shortages and increased demand for Nvidia GPUs in data centers as contributing factors to the rising prices. With another potential price hike on the horizon for AMD graphics cards in Q4, gamers looking to purchase a Radeon model may want to act quickly to avoid even higher costs.
