AMD Watch posted an update
PC Guide says average Nvidia GPU prices across 179 tracked models rose 41.3% between June and September, while AMD’s average across 71 models rose 28.3%. The figures come from PriceSquirrel’s European-market tracking, with prices reported as correct on 21 September.
Why it mattersThe same article says AI firms are reportedly buying RTX 5090 cards in bulk, adding to concern over availability and pricing. It also mentions a possible AMD price rise in Q4, based on a leak, not a confirmed company announcement. For PC builders, this is a useful warning sign, not a shopping forecast: the averages do not tell you what a particular card costs today, and they do not prove AI buying caused the increases.
Discuss: Is it fair to expect AI firms to compete with gamers for consumer GPUs, or should manufacturers keep those markets separate?
