Thanks to DDR3 costs, video card makers raising prices across the board

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 08 Apr 2013 6:34 User comments (5)

According to a report from suppliers, the recent increase in DDR3 memory prices has led video card vendors to raise prices across the board.

The retail prices have (or will) jump 10 to 15 percent, a significant increase for the end user.

Reports say only DDR3 is affected, so high end cards with DDR5 will not be included. Many budget cards still use the lower-end memory, however.

Perhaps worse is the notion that the prices will not drop back to previous norms in the next six months, unless manufacturers offer promotions, says the report.

i'm sure in a couple of years you will see in the news about price fixing by the manufacturers. i haven't read of any sort of disaster that led to a shortage. they are increasing the prices because they can.

They are not made in that giant industrial park that's just been shut down in North Korea by any chance?
