Gaming GPU Trends 2025: How Price and AI Upscaling Shape Buyer Decisions "A survey of 1,000 gamers "

• Nearly 3 in 4 gamers (73%) would choose NVIDIA if all GPU brands performed equally.

• 57% of gamers have been blocked from buying a GPU due to price hikes or scalping, and 43% have delayed or canceled purchases due to other life expenses like rent and bills.

• Over 1 in 4 gamers (25%) say $500 is their maximum budget for a GPU today.

• Nearly 2 in 3 gamers (62%) would switch to cloud gaming full-time if latency were eliminated, and 42% would skip future GPU upgrades entirely if AI upscaling or cloud services met their performance needs.

• If every GPU performed roughly the same at each segment, I'd go for the cheaper one. Why pay more?
• Happened to me, yeah.
• 400€ in my case. I'm surprised there are so many people willing to pay more than that... but Covid/Crypto fueled scarcity proved how much people are willing to spend
• Nope, I'm in the other 1/3.
