AMD and NVIDIA Graphics Cards Prices Expected to Rise Due to VRAM Shortage
The prices of AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards are expected to rise due to delays in current products. Reports from Chinese industry media quoting a source from the supply chain said that consumers should expect price increases on both AMD and NVIDIA video cards.

- 8GB Models estimated to increase by $20.
- 16GB Models estimated to increase by $40.
Sources indicate that video card prices are set to undergo a second increase in January 2026, although no details have been provided about the amounts of this increase.
AMD Roadmap Changes and Product Delays
AMD has further confirmed that there will not be any new complete party lines until 2027. Instead, special models will be designed to bridge this gap. Releases intended for the above-mentioned status include
- Radeon RX 7650 GRE
- Radeon RX 9060XT (16 GB)
