Just a few weeks ago, we reported on the claim that AMD was planning to increase the price of all its graphics cards due to the global RAM supply problem. At the time, there was no indication of when the changes were going to be made, nor how large the increases were going to be. However, the first signs of the latter have been dropped on social media, suggesting that the price hikes will be $20 per 8 GB of memory. The real problem, though, is who is going to pay that bill?
In a very brief post on X, harukaze5719 (who has a very good track record on all things GPU) wrote just two lines of information about Radeon price rises: "AMD 8GB VRAM: +$20, AMD 16GB VRAM: +$40." As things currently stand, there are only a handful of 8 GB Radeon cards in mass production: the RDNA 4 RX 9060 XT and the RDNA 3 RX 7600.
