Nvidia RTX 50 Series Prices Surge Up To 30% In South Korea

Nvidia's upcoming RTX 50 series graphics cards are expected to see significant price increases, potentially up to 30%, in South Korea. This surge is attributed to rising costs from TSMC for advanced wafer fabrication and increased prices for GDDR7 memory modules. These higher production expenses are forcing Nvidia to raise prices for its board partners, who in turn will pass the costs onto consumers, with flagship models like the RTX 5090 seeing the most substantial price hikes.
