RAM pricing crisis threatens graphics cards – rumor has it some AMD and Nvidia budget GPUs could be scrapped

• AMD and Nvidia budget GPUs could be in danger
• This is due to the increase in the cost of video RAM
• More affordable graphics cards with a disproportionate loadout of VRAM may get the axe, as they'll be badly affected by said price increases

AMD and Nvidia are both rumored to be mulling the possibility of shutting down production of some of their low-to-mid-range gaming GPUs due to the spike in the cost of memory for these boards.
