Cost per FPS over time
Weekly price ÷ 1440p benchmark performance. When the curve rises, you get fewer frames for your money — the direct gamer impact of the GPU crisis.
Reference: AAA tier at 1440p, DropReference reference CPU (same method as GPU compare). FPS is fixed — only price moves over time.

- Best dealRTX 5060 Ti 8G (-7,3 %)
Gap vs MSRP shows whether a graphics card costs more or less than NVIDIA and AMD recommended pricing. In Eurozone, compare chipset by chipset rather than generalising: some RTX 50 or RX 9000 models remain overpriced, others are back below catalog price.
Which graphics card has risen or fallen the most recently?
- Biggest riseRTX 5090 (+50,8 %)
- Biggest dropRTX 5080 (-3,0 %)
DropReference uses 7-day movement, or 30 days when the market has been quiet. That is the most reliable signal to spot accelerating price hikes or a return to normal GPU pricing.
Is there a GPU crisis or graphics card shortage in 2026?
- Pressure index63 / 100
- Models to avoid4
- Opportunities0
Yes, pressure remains high on RTX 50 and RX 9000 cards. Data covers the full Eurozone zone in EUR, not a single retailer — useful to track the RTX 50 and RX 9000 graphics card crisis in 2026.
