Gigabyte has reportedly increased GPU prices in Japan by up to 40%, depending on the model. The price hike affects GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards and is linked to higher production costs, including more expensive memory and chip manufacturing. NVIDIA is also said to have raised prices for its board partners. Similar price increases have already been reported in South Korea, suggesting other regions could also see higher GPU prices in the coming months.

Giga Texas’s Test Track is operational with Cybercabs driving on it today! This video clip is from Nate @StarbaseBrewing and shows two Cybercabs using the track … view from the ground slightly obstructed by trees and vegetation, but I hear many Cybercabs have been using the track today. The photo is from the air and made by @AirwaveDynamics recently to show the current state of construction. Much of the road surfaces are now paved and marked,m along with rumble strips on the central straight section. More work remains to finish the track, but nice to see it in action. I’ll be flying on Wednesday after the rains leave the area and I get back on schedule after returning home after 2 weeks in Europe. In the meantime, check this out!
