Graphics card price increase expected due to GDDR6 / x price hike

To the unprecedented situation in the PC graphics market, where it is currently practically impossible to get hold of a new generation card such as the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 or the AMD Radeon RX 6000, and it is even difficult to find medium / high-end cards of previous generations without paying a significant price premium, a price increase could be added by the end of February.

The price increase of GDDR6 and GDDR6X memories will affect the final price of graphics cards

The reason for this price increase for new generation graphics cards, according to what they say in the portal chino Mydrivers, would be an increase in demand and GDDR6 and GDDR6X memory prices present in both the Radeon RX 6000 and the GeForce RTX 30, including also the recently introduced notebook models.

According to the portal, it will be from the end of the Chinese year, on February 13, when the first increases in the price of memory will be seen. This price increase that manufacturers will suffer is more than likely to be seen reflected in the final price charged to users, further aggravating the current situation of the graphics market for PCs. Without a doubt, it seems that this is a bad year to renew the computer, or at least the CPU and graphics.
