Graphics card prices are expected to remain high through 2026 and potentially into 2028, with new generations of GPUs delayed. This price surge is attributed to increased manufacturing costs, particularly for VRAM, driven by the AI industry's demand for high-speed memory. Consumers are facing higher prices than the initial MSRPs, with significant increases observed even for flagship models like NVIDIA's RTX 5090, which has more than doubled in price since its release.
