It seems we can’t catch a break lately when it comes to PC gaming hardware. All thanks to the global memory shortage<\/a>, of course. Now, according to information Benchlife claims to have received<\/a>, Nvidia is raising prices for its GDDR6 as well as GDDR7 GPU kits. <\/p>\n

That means the RTX 5050 and some RTX 40-series cards (using GDDR6) might not be safe from the hikes, in addition to the rest of the RTX 50-series (using GDDR7). Though there’s no mention over whether any pricing changes would hit all regions.<\/p>\n

Benchlife says prices were already raised for the RTX 5090 (and its China variant) in May, which fits with what we heard at the time<\/a>. This recent adjustment is for other GeForce products. <\/p>\n

Assuming the information is correct, it will mean AIB partners\u2014the companies you buy non-Founders cards from\u2014will now have to pay Nvidia more for the respective kits which come with both GPU and memory.<\/p>\n

It’s not the wildest speculation to say that such price increases will be due to rising memory costs. No one\u2014not even Nvidia, and certainly not its AIB partners\u2014is immune from it. Memory is just in such astronomically high demand thanks to the AI boom.<\/p>\n
