GIGABYTE Raises Japan GPU Prices 20%-40% From Aug. 1 as NVIDIA and AMD Costs Climb

Summary
CFD-BIZ told customers that new orders for GIGABYTE graphics cards in Japan have been repriced 20% to 40% from Aug. 1 under a manufacturer-led revision.
The notice points to higher GPU-and-memory bundle costs from NVIDIA and AMD, part of broader DRAM price turmoil hitting PC gaming hardware.
GIGABYTE's "VGA products" wording suggests the increase spans GeForce RTX, Radeon RX and workstation cards rather than a few specific models.
Existing orders are also at risk: CFD-BIZ warned it may be difficult to secure current orders at current prices, raising the chance of cancellations if supply tightens.
Similar increases already reported in China and South Korea suggest the pressure could spread beyond GIGABYTE, with thin GPU margins limiting how much partners can absorb.
