Samsung will indirectly change the price of NVIDIA graphics cards

You don’t have to do cryptocurrency mining or professional computer gaming to probably catch the word that there is a big shortage of graphics cards in the world. Most often the most powerful from NVIDIA. Getting them at the normal selling price is almost a miracle, and there doesn’t seem to be any improvement. Korean Samsung even indirectly causes these GPUs will probably be more expensive.

The increase in the price of the entire graphics card will most likely be caused by the decision of the Samsung Foundry division, which manufactures and assembles semiconductor chips not only for the NVIDIA form. Due to modernization of a factory in Pyeongtaek, South Korea the giant decided to make this service more expensive. While increasing capacity and quality, Samsung will have to invest tens of millions of dollars in extreme ultraviolet lithographywhich is necessary for production.

Experts expect that problems with the (un) availability of graphics cards will persist until the end of 2022. And the fact that they will be more expensive in primary sales will certainly not help the situation.

When was the last time you bought a GPU? With what success?
