Samsung Foundry, the manufacturer of the RTX 3000 GPUs, announced a price increase
Samsung Foundry, the South Korean business's semiconductor foundry branch, announced a price increase for chip fabrication, which might affect numerous members of the computer sector, including Nvidia, because this company manufactures the DIEs in the GeForce RTX line 3000.
The reasoning for this increase is to expedite the process of acquiring funding for its new facility in Pyeongtaek, which will make chips at 5nm and 4nm, in order to remain competitive with TSMC and alleviate the industry's present supply shortage.
Given that Samsung may have already signed contracts for a specific price with its customers, this increase may not affect the prices of graphics cards and other components that are already in production; however, if a new contract is required, it will be made with the price updated, and this is where you will see the price increase. Hopefully, the contracts negotiated with Nvidia are long-term.

Gamers, bend over, please.
Don't worry, it only hurts the first times...
No thanks, pretty sure my 3090 and 5950x will handle next games just fine

Hell no. I'd rather game on older PC hardware with older games then touch a console.
Just too much freedom to do what ever.
what older hardware can you buy for 300eur ?
not even a used 1070 alone.for a whole system ?
maybe a 4/4 i5 with a gcn card like 280 that's limited by 3g vram and in legacy status already,120g ssd.That's it.
Xbox S is the deal of the decade, 300€ for a good 1080p gaming device.
If you can live without the benefits of gaming on a computer that is.
I personally don't like most console games, only enjoy playing racing and adventure.
I have a PS2 with NFS and Prince of Persia, loved those games for the time my PC was broken.
yup.
and xbox is adding plenty of older titles with 60/120 support
as much as I'm inclined towards gaming on pc, series S and series X are absolutely crushing it.it's not just the hardware,it's the support and the game pass.I wouldn't miss my pc for sure if I got one with the pass.

First, a gaming PC and any component needed for it is always a luxury item. It's not needed to keep you from being hungry, thirsty, sheltered from the weather or healthy. If it gets more expensive, don't buy it, spend your money on another hobby. I myself do see it as a hobby too, and my price limits have been reached. Makes me not buy a luxury item like a new GPU / PC. Pretty simple.
Second, no increase in pricing named or numbered. Until we know anything, it's just... complaining that today it's raining compared to yesterday. Old men's talk tbh.
Or are we generally complaining about increasing prices?
Third, the increase in price per GPU in absolute numbers is to be considered. A chip costs something in the few hundred dollars, a fraction of what the whole GPU costs. So we're in for 20, or 50$ more per chip? Manufacturers have increased prices like this over generations anyway, with bigger jumps recently (even more expensive node jumps). Less than 100$ more per GPU then, is that sensible? So be it, if they can even fabricate enough chips to cope with demand.
Honestly, this is much ado about nothing. First we should worry about ever again reaching MSRP prices, before MSPR price increases are to be considered.

I've personally already reached Stage 5 - Acceptance.
Already started other hobbies, spending more time in nature, doing more sports, weightlifting, flying a drone (almost a videogame, but in reality), learning papercraft, figuring out how to do some woodwork (difficult as I don't have a yard, but will arrange part of a room for that), photography, re-learning to play my music keyboard...
One needs to understand that for the large majority of us, videogames are just a hobby, nothing else. Like we started with it, we can stop. It's not a drug !

I wonder how much a "slightly used" kidney would go for on eBay?
by "slightly used" I mean....no warranties, returns not accepted...
