Nvidia, AMD accused of conspiracy to keep graphics pricing highThe allegation is that Nvidia, ATI and AMD conspired to manipulate graphics card pricing, while the filing seen by the INQ said the DoJ has demanded a heap of data going back to the late 1990s.......... The allegations cite sources saying that the price points of graphics cards are practically always the same - at around $500 for the top end stuff. The allegation is the defendants and co-conspirators "have engaged in a contract combination, trust or conspiracy, the effect of which was to raise the prices at which they sold graphics processing units and cards to artificially inflated levels." |
