If this breakdown of the full cost of producing your favourite graphics card is accurate, then prices for certain GPUs are going to make 64 GB DDR5 kits look cheap

AMD RX 9070 XT and Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti graphics cards from Asus.

Every week, I search through all of the major online retailers for the best graphics card deals, hunting down the lowest prices for the latest Arc, GeForce, and Radeon GPUs. Although a handful of models are wildly over their MSRP, many are still within an acceptable margin above it.

That's according to the figures presented by Igor's Lab, and while the report focuses on the current price and production cost of the Radeon RX 9070 XT for the European market, the same circumstances apply across all cards and sectors.
