GPU Price Surge Continues into 2026: Nvidia Leads the Wave

TechSpot finds that from November 2025 to February 2026, GPU prices rose about 15% on average across 14 current-generation cards in 10 regions, with Nvidia models bearing the biggest increases (e.g., 5060 Ti 16GB ~21%, 5070 Ti ~25%, 5090 ~32%), while AMD’s RX 9060 XT and RX 9070-series rose more modestly (roughly 10–14%). Intel’s Arc B570/B580 were the least affected. Higher VRAM costs and tighter supply contribute to above-MSRP pricing in many regions, though GPUs still rose less than memory and SSD prices. With stock aging out and newer inventory priced higher, the market isn’t expected to improve soon, so waiting for a better deal may not pay off.

AMD Bets Big on RX 9070 XT to Weather Memory-Cost Pressures

Rumors say AMD will prioritize the Radeon RX 9070 XT over its non-XT sibling to better absorb rising DRAM costs from shortages, since the XT commands a higher price and can tolerate price adjustments more easily; this mirrors NVIDIA’s strategy of focusing on profitable SKUs during memory-price volatility and may shift production toward the RX 9070 XT at the expense of the non-XT and other RDNA4 GPUs.
