tech π GIGABYTE GPUs seeing big price jumps in Japan
GIGABYTE is reportedly increasing its GPU prices by up to 40% across different models. This price hike is officially in effect since August 1st, according to Japanese distributor CFD-BIZ. Some outstanding orders risk cancellation, while new orders will reflect the updated pricing. This follows similar reports of up to a 30% price increase for NVIDIA RTX 50 cards in South Korea. Currency fluctuations and joint US-Japan intervention might temper the 40% surge in the future.
