- Nvidia and AMD are both raising GPU prices at the same time, according to Kotaku's reporting on the coordinated move
- AMD Radeon GPUs and memory kit prices are reportedly rising 10% in August, per VideoCardz, extending the price pressure beyond just Nvidia
Why it matters: PC builders and gamers face a simultaneous squeeze from both major GPU vendors, and retailers are already pricing current cards above flagship MSRPs — Best Buy's RTX 5080 listed above the RTX 5090's MSRP signals retail pricing has decoupled from Nvidia's official tiers.
