Gaming PCs face an uncertain future with AI and data centre demand driving up component costs. A knock-on effect for GPUs in 2026 is price increases linked to VRAM supply. But what about future generations? AMD’s RDNA 4 RX 9000 GPUs are punchy, competitive, and offer a gaming-first ethos: something which RDNA 5 cards can hopefully build upon.
They are a little off into the future as we write, but information about AMD RDNA 5 is circulating. For enthusiasts who decide to skip the current-gen’s price hikes and wait, the hope is that next-gen AMD graphics cards bring large gains.
