Tom's Hardware just published their GPU Price Index update, and the trend is clear: GPU prices are climbing steadily with no relief in sight.
Key takeaways: - MSI and Colorful raised RTX 50-series prices in China by up to 59% - AMD is hiking Radeon GPU/memory kit prices by at least 10% - VRAM costs are exploding due to AI demand - Next-gen GPUs aren't expected until late 2027 or 2028 - No meaningful below-MSRP discounts during major sales events The AI boom is the main driver.
Every new GPU needs more VRAM, and AI companies are consuming the supply chain.
There's no stock shortage - just a pricing crisis.
For those building AI infrastructure, the math is shifting.
Why buy hardware at inflated prices when you can rent RTX 3090s at $0.15/hr?
BHK Cloud offers GPU compute at $0.15/hr and cloud storage at $2.49/TB.
