The cost of manufacturing the AMD Radeon RX 6000 would have increased and with it their prices
Following a leak last week, an adjustment to the retail prices for the AMD Radeon RX 6000 series of graphics cards from AMD is already in effect. Customers planning to purchase Radeon RX 6000 cards in the near future could face price increases of up to $ 78 higher.
According to a post on Board Channels forums, graphics card maker Gigabyte announced new prices for AMD RDNA2 models on December 1. The increase they have given is greater than expected and will affect all models of the RX 6000 series, except the Radeon RX 6900 XT. This price hike is likely to affect GPU sales starting in a week or two, depending on when they leave the factory to distributors.
AMD graphics prices rise
In November, the Radeon RX 6000 range had already received a price increase of 9% compared to October, according to HardwareUnboxed in a report based on the price lists on eBay. With the newly announced increase and the demand for the holiday season, the trend is likely to continue to climb.
The prices of the AMD graphics of the RX 6000 series would be the following:
- AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT 500 RMB goes up $ 78 to $ 1.380.
- AMD Radeon RX 6800 is up $ 47 to $ 1.208.
- AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT goes up between $ 16 and $ 31 to $ 941.
- AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT goes up between $ 16 and $ 31 to $ 706.
- AMD Radeon RX 6600 is up $ 31 to $ 596.
It is seen that the greater the range, the more they increase in price, although this is not the case of the RX 6900 XT because it would have a higher profit margin and can assume an increase in production costs, and that it already has a cost. of $ 1.725. If they go up 6% as happens with the rest of the graphs, they would go up to 1828 dollars, approximately, an increase of 103 dollars.
