Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 70921, member: 636"] Graphics card manufacturers AMD and Nvidia may discontinue production of budget and mid-range gaming GPUs as memory shortages drive up costs for GDDR modules, according to a Korean media report. The companies could prioritize higher-margin products as rising bills of materials make lower-tier models less profitable, with speculation suggesting that cards in the 60-class and 50-class segments face potential elimination. Memory prices have surged dramatically within recent weeks as data center expansion consumes most DRAM production capacity, triggering panic buying throughout the supply chain. Vendors, including ASUS, have warned that persistent shortages could force price increases across consumer devices, with mainstream GPU models expected to experience significant cost escalation if manufacturers shift away from these segments.
