US PC maker warns GPU prices will climb significantly

A US PC maker warns that retail GPU prices are expected to climb significantly, citing increasing supply constraints on graphics cards. AMD has reportedly raised the cost of GDDR6 video RAM sold to board partners, which will likely be passed to consumers. Other component costs, including circuit boards, are also rising, according to industry chatter. Separately, a leaker claims Nvidia has discontinued the RTX 5090, redirecting its chips to AI cards. The flagship's scarcity has already pushed prices toward $9,000 in the US, with recovery expected to be slow.
