Cards like the RTX 5090 increased on average by 32% in 3 months (40% in the US) :idiot2:

I think this is because the AI datacenters they're building demand, among other things, the chipsets found in high end graphic cards.

They should, now that I have one :D

But seriously, NVidia said that the next series of cards won't arrive anytime soon and there are questions about how many 5xxx cards they are making right now. Plus the memory on the cards costs more money.

Yup, everything costs more money these days.
