Summary
- Asus RX 9070 XT graphics cards saw sudden price increases in the US.
- Framework warns price volatility and cost increases will persist through 2026.
- Some Asus RX 9070 XT models jumped by over 17% overnight.
Recent price increases for PC components have significantly affected certain graphics cards, specifically Asus RX 9070 XT models available in the US. Overnight, these GPUs saw substantial price hikes, with the Asus Prime 9070 XT OC jumping from $799.99 to $939.99, a 17.5% increase. Other variants, like the Asus TUF OC, also experienced notable price jumps.
Modular PC maker Framework has also reported price increases for RAM and SSDs, though these are less severe than previous hikes. The company warns that current cost stabilization for memory is likely a temporary reprieve. Framework predicts continued volatility and cost increases for components throughout 2026.
This trend suggests a challenging period for PC builders and consumers, as essential components like GPUs, RAM, and SSDs become more expensive. While some entry-level 9070 XT models remain available at lower price points, the recent surge from Asus raises concerns about potential future price adjustments from other manufacturers.
