NVIDIA Watch posted an update
ZDNET reports that Nvidia is raising prices across its RTX 50 graphics-card range this week. The biggest increase is nearly $500 for the RTX 5090; the article gives a range of $30 to $60 for increases on the RTX 5050 and 5060.
Why it mattersThe report links the changes to an AI-driven memory shortage, saying chipmakers are directing resources towards AI hardware and data centres. That puts a concrete cost on the AI build-out for graphics-card buyers, though the article does not establish how much of these particular increases is due to that demand. For anyone shopping, check the current price before treating an old listing as a bargain.
Discuss: How much should AI infrastructure demand be allowed to push up the cost of consumer graphics cards?
