ASUS Raises GeForce RTX 50 Series "Blackwell" Pricing in China, Radeon Pricing Unchanged
ASUS has increased pricing for its GeForce RTX 50 Series 'Blackwell' GPUs in China, with the RTX 5090 D v2 rising by approximately $72 and other models seeing increases of $14.50 to $45. This adjustment is attributed to a memory component shortage, specifically affecting GDDR7 supply, while AMD Radeon pricing remains stable due to better GDDR6 availability. Bullish: Direct price increase for specific GPU models signals immediate supply pressure on GDDR7 memory.
