Will India prices rise too?
Unconfirmed. TechPowerUp notes the list is for China and is expected to be the norm everywhere, but nobody has published Indian prices. India already saw large increases; read why GPU prices are up 35% in three months.
Why are GPU prices rising?
The report cites demand outstripping supply, tight memory supply and the rising cost of raw materials such as copper. Intel and older NVIDIA series are not hit by this particular round, per the same report.
Should you buy a GPU now or wait?
If you need a card within weeks, buying before the new listings reach shops is the safer bet, since partners say the hikes are already set. If not, waiting offers no guarantee: the report points to prices rising, not falling. Our best GPU under ₹50,000 guide and the RTX 5090 supply story give context. Check the deals page too.
