Pure greed. TSMC built tons of capacity since the pandemic, RAM makers have cut back production because of low prices.

There is tons of capacity out there to make more graphics cards, even including all the big data centers using them for AI. but i guess its more profitable to only sell cards to rich gamers and AI companies at inflated prices
