Due to the economic-political tensions between China and the United States, the graphics assemblers of AMD and NVIDIA are working on leaving China.
Trade problems between the United States and China are intensifying significantly and this is affecting hardware manufacturers notoriously and has even begun to affect graphics card manufacturers. Manufacturers are unwilling to cut profit margins, and they don't want consumers to pay more for products. Manufacturers that work with AMD and NVIDIA have begun to send out of China the manufacture of new graphics.
Graphics makers working with AMD and NVIDIA are leaving China.

Not only do manufacturers want to ship the assembly of their solutions outside of China, AMD and NVIDIA are also working on finding alternatives to manufacturing as tariffs are starting to be a serious problem. At the moment, graphics card prices are expected to rise 5-10 percent in the coming months due to Chinese tariffs.
We may find that some models increase in price by 5-10 percent on some models of graphics cards. We will see how the tension between China and the United States affects product prices, although some countries will benefit from this escalation of tension between the two most economically important countries in the world.
