Rumor mill: Are you tired of graphics cards existence so expensive? Unfortunately for fans of AMD's latest products, it looks as if the Radeon RX 6000 series could soon become even costlier afterward the company increased the price of its GPUs by 10% for board partners, according to a new report.

VideoCardz writes that news of the price increase was unveiled on the Board Channels forums. Information technology states that the 10% ascension translates to a $twenty to $40 jump in cost for lath partners. It will be implemented in the next GPU shipment, and consumers could see the effects on retail units as soon every bit ane or 2 weeks afterward.

Information technology's worth noting that prices were always expected to get upwards as a result of increased need stemming from the holiday season. And given how high they are already, end-users might not even see the effects of AMD'southward actress ten% accuse.

AMD's price hike is being blamed on TSMC increasing its costs, though no other AMD products using the same 7nm node, such as the Ryzen 5000 series, appear affected—yet.

The latest report on the state of the graphics card market shows that both AMD's and Nvidia's latest RDNA ii/Ampere serial are selling for effectually double the MSRP a twelvemonth later their initial release. Although the chart beneath shows the Radeon RX 6000 series average toll falling from 101% above MSRP to 90%, it's considering retailers (in Germany and Republic of austria) accept received shipments of non-XT RX 6800 cards, lowering the boilerplate price of the whole line.

Fifty-fifty the second-paw market is suffering. Our own examination of cards on eBay show the Radeon RX 6000 cards increasing in price by 9% betwixt Oct and November, while the RTX 3000 line was up 6% during the same period. Older generations on the auction site are also getting pricier: the Nvidia xx series (+half dozen%), 16 series (+five%), and 10 series (+7%), and AMD'south Radeon 5000 (ix%) series all got more expensive over the last month.

The component shortage and resulting graphics card crunch has also seen some hardware companies selling pre-built gaming PCs without graphics cards, including this one from NZXT, which uses an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G APU.
