While GPUs aren't seeing a significant price increase these days, they are still selling for much higher prices than in the pre-RAMpocalypse era.
GPU Market Data for 10 Countries Show Prices for NVIDIA RTX 50 and AMD RX 9000 Series GPUs are Almost Stagnant, but Future Remains Uncertain
We have the latest GPU prices data for 10 countries from Tech Spot, which has been tracking the prices since November 2025, when the GPU prices were the lowest since RAMpocalypse started. The GPUs started to become more expensive right after DRAM and SSDs became more expensive, and although we didn't see 2X or 3X prices for the GPUs, the current prices are significantly higher for the value they bring to the table.
The market instability particularly hit the current-gen NVIDIA RTX 50 and AMD RX 9000 series GPUs, which continue to sell at 10-30% higher prices on average, depending on the GPU and edition you look at. However, each region is suffering from a different inflation rate, with the US being at the top with 22% inflation, while Australia sees the lowest inflation rate of just 9.5%. Still, higher prices are taking a toll on the GPU sales, and it seems that the prices for many GPUs have plateaued as the demand dropped significantly due to higher prices.
The data collected is from price trackers that monitor prices for each GPU edition across multiple retailers. After collecting the data from 10 different countries, we have an accurate picture of what's going on in the market. As per Tech Spot, the data uses the cheapest edition for each GPU and compares the prices against November 2025 and February 2026 data. What we can see from the latest prices is that all the NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel current-gen GPUs are stagnant at the Feb 2026 prices.
As far as the GeForce RTX 50 series is concerned, the entry-level, mid-range, and high-end tier graphics cards are still at Feb 2026 prices, with some regions seeing a noticeable drop, and some have increased by a single-digit percentage. The drop seems to be the highest in Australia, and we are seeing as much as 15% of price reduction for some GPUs. Apart from that, we see no significant price adjustments in the last two months after seeing a sharp 20-30% rise in most regions. The case appears to be the same for the AMD Radeon RX 9000 series, where both RX 9070 and RX 9060 series are selling for near-Feb prices.
It seems that although the dropped demand has stopped any further inflation, the prices aren't likely to drop drastically anytime soon. With RAM and SSD prices still going up, any meaningful relief appears distant, and this uncertainty will keep the GPUs at their current levels.
