On April 8th, reports surfaced indicating that NVIDIA is gearing up to raise prices on its gaming graphics cards, with an anticipated hike of approximately 10%.
Attributed to a combination of reduced supply and heightened market demand, NVIDIA is witnessing a widespread increase in gaming graphics card prices across mainland China. Specifically, models such as the RTX 4060 Ti and lower-tier products are expected to see a surge of up to 10%.
Moreover, major manufacturers like ASUS and Gigabyte have already adjusted their cost prices upward since March, with plans to continue raising prices on select models throughout this month.
Specifically, the price adjustments are as follows: a $100 increase for the RTX 4070 SUPER series, a $20 to $50 increase for the RTX 4060 Ti/4060 series, a $50 increase for the RTX 3050 series, and a $30 increase for the GTX 1650 series.
It's reported that the price hike for the RTX 4060 Ti is due to a significant decrease in supply since the end of last month, leading to demand outpacing the factory's distribution speed. Additionally, the previous wave of stockpiling inventory has been largely depleted.
Faced with such a price surge, the decision to continue purchasing gaming graphics cards has become a pressing concern.
