Nvidia GPU Prices Are Up 41% Since June, and AMD Is Expected to Raise Prices Again

Price-tracker data from PriceSquirrel, reported by PC Guide on September 29, shows average Nvidia graphics card prices up 41.3% between June and September across 179 models, from about 783 euros to over 1,000. AMD cards rose 28.3% across 71 models. One RTX 5090 listing went from 6,899.99 dollars to 7,999 dollars in two weeks against a 1,999 dollar launch price. Another AMD hike is expected in Q4 as the memory shortage continues.
