Summary

- Entry-level graphics cards are predicted to be the hardest to obtain.
- Analyst suggests vendors may exploit shortages to inflate prices.
Graphics card prices are predicted to see a substantial increase in the latter half of 2026, according to a GPU vendor's warning. Entry-level graphics cards are specifically forecasted to be the most difficult to acquire during this period.
However, PC industry analysts propose that some vendors may be using current news about hardware shortages to justify price increases that exceed their actual costs. This situation has prompted some consumers to consider purchasing GPUs sooner than planned to avoid future price hikes and potential scarcity.
Separately, discussions also touched upon Intel's legacy chip business and its forthcoming Nova Lake CPU launch, following a recent conversation with a company executive.
