Recent reports indicate that Sony may equip the PlayStation 6 with 24 GB of GDDR7 memory to manage production costs and keep the retail price reasonable. The PS5 uses 16 GB of GDDR6 memory. Earlier leaks suggested the PS6 might feature up to 30 GB or more, but high DRAM prices fueled by AI demand have prompted a reconsideration. Settling on 24 GB with a 128-bit bus is said to save about $60 per console while offering developers substantially more memory than the current generation. The change could help the PS6 launch price closer to $499-$599

NVIDIA’s rumored GeForce RTX 50 SUPER graphics cards have reportedly been shipped to at least some board partners, but their launch has been put on hold due to the high cost of 3GB GDDR7 memory chips. According to reports, NVIDIA is still deciding how to price the new GPUs, as the 3GB GDDR7 memory modules needed for the refreshed cards cost around $60–70 per chip, making them significantly more expensive than expected. The RTX 50 SUPER lineup is expected to increase VRAM capacity on several models by using these larger memory chips, but NVIDIA reportedly doesn’t want to launch until it strikes the right balance between production costs and retail pricing.

NVIDIA is increasing the cost it charges partners for its flagship GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card and the China-exclusive RTX 5090D V2 variant due to rising GDDR7 memory prices. >Approximately $300 USD (around 2,000 RMB) increase per card for add-in-board partners >Applies to both the standard RTX 5090 with 32GB GDDR7 and the RTX 5090D V2 with 24GB GDDR7 >The change took effect around May 13, 2026 >NVIDIA’s official suggested retail price remains unchanged >Retail street prices, which are already often exceeding $4,000 for custom models, are expected to rise further in the coming weeks

NVIDIA’s RTX 50 series graphics cards could be getting even more expensive. According to distributor pricing, MSI and Colorful have increased prices for several RTX 50 models in China. Some of the reported increases include: - RTX 5090: up to 16% higher - RTX 5080: around 20% higher - RTX 5070 Ti: up to 20% higher, with some models now starting at 38% above NVIDIA’s original MSRP - RTX 5070: up to 15% higher The reported increases are linked to rising manufacturing costs, including more expensive GDDR7 memory and higher GPU costs for board partners.

AMD has launched the Radeon RX 9070 GRE targeting gamers looking for 1440p performance at $549. Specs: - 12GB GDDR6 VRAM - 192-bit memory bus - 3,072 stream processors - 48 Compute Units - Up to 2.79 GHz boost clock - 220W power draw - $549 MSRP The main issue is that the card comes with 12GB of VRAM instead of the 16GB on the standard RX 9070. Another problem is that the RX 9070 GRE launches at $549, the same price as the standard RX 9070. Since the RX 9070 has more VRAM and stronger specs, the standard model could be the better deal if the price gap is small.

China’s new gaming GPU, the Lisuan LX 7G100, officially launched and sold out on the first day with around 30,000 pre-orders. The graphics card comes with: >12 GB GDDR6 memory >6 nm manufacturing process >DirectX 12 support >Microsoft WHQL-certified drivers for modern Windows games In gaming tests, the LX 7G100 performs below NVIDIA’s RTX 4060, usually by 20% to 70% depending on the game. Priced at about $480, many consider it expensive for its performance. Although it does not yet compete with NVIDIA or AMD at the high end, the LX 7G100 marks an important step for China’s domestic graphics card industry.

Chinese company Lisuan Tech has launched the LX 7G100, a new gaming graphics card that aims to compete with products from NVIDIA > The GPU comes with 12 GB of GDDR6 memory > Early independent benchmarks show real-world gaming performance landing closer to an RTX 3060 level, trailing the RTX 4060 by 20-70% in most titles depending on the game and settings. >The price ranges from 2,969 to 3,299 yuan, about $436 to $485 USD. >Only 1,000 units are available in the first launch batch. The launch is an important step for China’s gaming hardware industry, as very few Chinese companies have entered the dedicated gaming GPU market before.
