投片台積美國廠成本急升　NVIDIA GPU價格「全線喊漲」

供應鏈透露，NVIDIA遭遇多方危機，甚至因H20降規晶片禁銷中國，而不得不在季報中認列55億美元損失後，執行長黃仁勳不僅於美中雙邊奔走，希望將衝擊降至最低，期能讓美國政府回心轉意放寬AI禁令限制。

At the same time, market sources said that in order to maintain stable profit performance, NVIDIA has recently raised official prices for almost all of its products and allowed its partners to raise prices simultaneously.

Ridiculous.

Consumers need to step up, much as they have done against other things(i.e. McDonalds, which forced value meals back out) and just say "Okay, we're done." and no longer purchase things.

I mean, there is a limit to how much consumers can or willingly will take and we've been rapidly reaching that point in a great many areas.
 
I am a youngling, any old, like real old GAF members lived through the 70-80s depression / inflation? How did it all ended?

Today it is like a slow burn, surely businesses cannot keep using the high demand excuses to raise prices? PS6 to cost $999?

With Fed rates cut expected this FOMC, fiat money will be more useless?

Stupid question, but is this US only or worldwide?

world wide it seems

For example, since the ASUS RTX 5090 high-end graphics card was launched at the beginning of the year, its price has risen to NT$90,000. Recently, the channel price has risen again to NT$100,000, an increase of more than 10%. At the same time, the prices of GPU modules and servers such as H200/B200 have also been increased.

Super high interest rates and high unemployment rates...
 
Looking at the article, seems like this increase comes from TSMC. Nvidia is just following their price increase.
So other companies, such as AMD, Apple, Intel, QUALCOMM, etc, will do it as well.

TSMC's U.S. fab costs surge, NVIDIA GPU prices rise across the board

But most of the article is talking about how the blocking of AI chips to China, is hurting Nvidia profits.

Since PS5 and Xbox have only just started making games for their gen, I'm not all too worried about that.

Xbox has already increase their prices for consoles. And the PS5 Pro is expensive as f*** for a console.
And you can bet that the Switch 2 is going to be affected.

Whether you like it or not, all gamers will be affected.

Good point. The more expensive the hardware, the less games that will be sold.
 
Worldwide? I've not seen any increases in my section of Europe, just a price decrease. 5060ti (16GB), 5070, and 5080 are all at or close to MSRP. In the case of the 5070 it is actually available below MSRP. 5090s are obviously still well above MSRP.

The Euro has increased substantially, due to loss in trust in the dollar as a safe currency, and investors, companies and countries switching to safer coins, such as the Euro, the Yuan, the Swiss Franc, etc.
This has been offsetting price increases a bit.

Can somebody explain what is "masterrace" about PC Gaming?

If you're on a budget it seems almost impossible.

You don't need the newest hardware to have better settings than consoles. You don't even need to have better settings than on consoles if all you care about is the games.

Thread is trash clickbait.

Prices have been going down steadily for months now.

I feel more liberated already here in US! 🤬
 
That's the price of needing things to advance all the time. Smaller semiconductor nodes are becoming insanely expensive. Personally I think we have enough GPU compute to just focus on creativity in games rather than trying to push more polygons or raytracing. On dev side use AI for optimizing code and on player side for upscaling (but not to compensate for lazy code).

I dunno, it seems like we hit massive diminishing returns for graphics a long time ago and games being demanding these days are more about devs being lazy/bad engines.
 
We're at a point where I genuinely wish some big-ass Chinese tech company would flood the market with state-subsidized GPUs, that have comparable performance to most of Nvidia's models. China already did this / is doing this with EVs.

On a budget u went for 330$ gpu rtx 3060(12gigs of vram) back in jan 2021 and wont upgrade till at least 6060-6060ti in 2027 or 2028 :)

I still run a GTX 1080TI but I bought this 400$ 2nd hand PC so I could play Detroit, Mass Effect 4 and Heavy Rain at Max settings. The newest games I play on console.

To be honest, I'm good. Especially at these ridiculous price points. I'll buy a new 2nd hand PC in 10 years so I can then play everything consoles can't do the upcoming 10.

My go-to combo of Intel & nVidia is def having a laugh at this point. CPU gen that self-implodes and GPU prices competing with used cars. Not sure what it's going to look like in another 3 years when I do my next build.
 
More and more PC gamepass games are shipping without DLSS.
Only FSR is a choice.
Started Expedition 33 this weekend and yep only FSR. Maybe Microsoft is colluding with AMD?
I might as well forget Nvidia.
