Rumors Indicate Nvidia May Cease VRAM Bundling with GPUs, Impacting Cheap Graphics Cards
Smaller GPU vendors could be significantly affected if Nvidia stops packaging VRAM with GPUs, according to industry leaks.
The impending RAM shortage has raised concerns, prompting speculation about a subsequent GPU shortage, especially affecting smaller GPU suppliers.
Our reliable source, Golden Pig Upgrade Pack, has reported through Weibo that Nvidia is considering halting the practice of bundling VRAM with its GPUs, which may force smaller manufacturers to rely on independent VRAM procurement. This shift could lead to difficulties for brands without established ties to major memory producers, like Micron or Samsung.
Consequently, this situation could result in higher prices or decreased availability of graphics cards, thus impacting consumers. While Nvidia’s decision on bundling has not been finalized, the implications for both manufacturers and consumers remain significant.
So, is it time to panic-buy a new GPU? Although it may feel like the right move, the price increases are still in speculation and could manifest in delayed successive surges. Stay tuned for updates on pricing trends related to GPUs.
