In a rather ironic turn of events, the rising cost of VRAM and other graphics card components, which has largely been driven by huge demand for Nvidia GPUs, might have come back to haunt the company. That’s because, according to a new report, the cost of servicing Nvidia GPU warranty claims has increased by more than 1,000% in the last year, costing the company nearly $1BN. Ok, so calling $894M “nearly $1BN” could be seen as a bit of a stretch, considering the difference is still $106M, but proportionally, it is fairly close. Plus, more importantly, it’s a huge increase on the amount Nvidia paid out for claims against its best graphics cards the year before, which was just $81M.
With VRAM prices having increased so much, the cost of graphics card repairs has skyrocketed, affecting both Nvidia GeForce and AMD Radeon GPUs.
