Because a lot of international trade and the construction of video game software at least partially runs through the USA between the part producing countries and germany.
Trump's tariffs could significantly increase the cost of video cards
US President Donald Trump has imposed a 145% tariff on China, which could lead to a sharp increase in the cost of graphics cards. At the same time, manufacturers will try to move production to other regions.mezha.media
I'm not sure if this is what has increased GPU prices directly. Perhaps traders just use the threat of possible tarriff price hikes to increase their margins while fleecing the FOMO buyers that want to get in early in front of the tarriffs.
You know. Capitalism.
Fact is, the graphics card I got for under 800 euros now is at almost 1600 euros.
If I had an 800 euro graphics card, I wouldn't be posting here.
If anyone wants to silence me with a non tax deductible gift, feel free to contact my publicist.
