Japanese Distributor Warns of More GPU Price Hikes as Memory Costs Bite

Tom's Hardware reports that Japanese distributor CFD Sales signaled new price increases for Gigabyte graphics-card orders, with expected increases of 20% to 40%. The item follows earlier reports of RTX 50-series pricing pressure in South Korea and China as graphics memory and other component costs rise. The signal for RamTrend is that GDDR-related cost pressure is no longer confined to supplier commentary. It is flowing through regional distributor channels and retail expectations, which can affect sell-through demand for GPUs and gaming PCs while keeping attention on graphics memory availability.
