According to a Chinese forum post by member Master One, AMD will demand approximately 10% higher costs from its board partners for all GPUs in the RX 6000 series. It should be between 20 and 40 US dollars more expensive, depending on the specific model.
The new pricing will take effect with the next shipment of GPUs to board partners, which means it will likely take a week or two before it has an impact on the retail price reports videocardz; however, AIBs may modify their pricing sooner rather than later. AMD Radeon RX 6000 series graphics cards have already seen a 9 percent price hike in November when compared to the previous month of October. A further price reduction was to be expected, given the fact that demand for graphics processing units (GPUs) typically spikes around the holiday season.
| GPU | Average eBay Price | MSRP |
|---|---|---|
| Radeon RX 6900 XT | $1514 | $999 |
| Radeon RX 6800 XT | $1315 | $649 |
| Radeon RX 6800 | $1260 | $579 |
| Radeon RX 6700 XT | $859 | $479 |
| Radeon RX 6600 XT | $629 | $379 |
| Radeon RX 6600 | $560 | $329 |
AMD's move, according to the source, was prompted by a recent surge in wafer costs at TSMC, according to the article. AMD has not raised the prices of any other products based on the same manufacturing node (TSMC N7), such as the Ryzen 5000 series, so far this year.
AMD increases the cost of RX 6000 GPUs by 10% for AIB customers.
