A Trump tax means you’ll pay even more for Nvidia and AMD’s impossible-to-find graphics cards

There is once again a 25 percent tariff for GPUs coming from China

*LMAO* I am so glad I have my 3090 after all the it's too much flak I caught.
Seriously, if China drops the costs of GPU's with a subsidies they could just take over the US.
Can't wait to see how the reddit will take this, Trump just enraged the gamers

#trump forever ! Just doubled the price of my gfx card . Yeah boy .


Seriously between this and brexit. uK prices are only going to suffer .

 

[Space Monkey]

Genuine question, why would this affect the UK prices?

 

[Hakanese]

Shouldn't unless you're importing from the US.
But if the manufacturers are have to take the tariff they could raise prices overall to offset the extra cost. then we could see a price hike.
If you have a preorder your costs won't go up, but I am guessing at some point the prices will go up from manufacturers, and then ofc the resellers.

Biden for president! I've been converted to a leftist in one fell swoop. Open the floodgates, I don't care. Now give us a good trade deal while you're at it, and I won't switch back to the right for at least six months when I get bored of my still-overpriced GPU!

Because of they still sell in the US, why wouldn't they put the prices up elsewhere...

I think we should all march down to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and have a word with Trump about this.

Won't be the first time the British burned the place down.

If they can't get stock at a good price, your order will be cancelled I would imagine.

I saw yesterday too, that the ARM acquisition by Nvidia is now under investigation now we are out of the EU.

25% more of £rediculous is still £rediculous.

I'll be waiting till prices level to my preferred value. If that's a decade, so be it.

Are EVGA cards made in the US? Be interesting to see how they fare

 

[JediFragger]

I'm just gonna say sure why not

Rather suspect that any protests against Trump would meet with a different police response than protests for Trump, though.

Surely if EVGA send products to their EU warehouse, it's an internal company transfer and therefore they pay less tax on that? I'm clueless as to how taxation on that works, but that would make sense to me.

You can bet Overmilkers.co.uk will find a way for this to affect prices.

On AMD's site today:
Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 6800 16GB From £ 677.99
wtf?
Was suppose to be ~$550?

that is a 20% for VaT and 20% US imposed Tariff added onto the base $550 msrp

 

[philo-sofa]

In theory this should push down US demand, pushing up free supply and reducing non-US prices. In theory.

assuming manufacturers aren't raising prices across the board to make up for the US tariffs. But would be nice if we can get cheaper gpus than the US for once
