According to Boardchannels, a Chinese forum, AMD has raised the price of GDDR6 memory supplied to its partner graphics card manufacturers, effective October 1, 2026. The affected manufacturers use AMD graphics processors and sell graphics cards under their own brands.
Changes in supply prices may increase procurement costs for partner manufacturers, potentially affecting future retail prices. However, this is merely speculation based on cost changes; there are currently no confirmed price increases or market quotes for specific Radeon graphics card models.
For industry context, Nvidia previously adjusted the prices of GDDR6 and GDDR7 memory for graphics cards in July. While factors such as memory supply and component costs like printed circuit boards were mentioned, current information is insufficient to quantify their impact on retail graphics card prices. Final pricing will still depend on subsequent manufacturer pricing and market supply.
