PC Partner Group has warned of worsening entry-level GPU shortages in the second half of 2026, driven by ongoing memory constraints that have already led to a 9.2% revenue drop for its subsidiaries, Zotac, Inno3D, and Manli, as average selling prices rise amid declining unit sales.

PC Partner Group has issued a warning regarding a significant decline in entry-level GPU availability expected in the second half of 2026. The company attributes this to ongoing memory shortages and supply constraints affecting the broader market.123

In its latest financial report, PC Partner stated, “the PC market remains highly challenging, with significant supply constraints driving sharp increases in component costs and, in turn, slowing consumer demand for the PC market.” As a result, the availability of graphics cards is projected to decline further, particularly impacting entry-level VGA cards, which are anticipated to face even more severe shortages.4

These shortages have already had a tangible impact on the company's financial performance, with revenue from its subsidiaries—Zotac, Inno3D, and Manli—dropping by 9.2% year-over-year. The average selling price of GPUs has increased by 10.7%, while unit sales have plummeted by 18.4%, as consumers struggle to cope with rising prices. Additionally, sales of other PC-related products and components have decreased by 20.1%, with mini PCs being the most affected due to widening lead times and contracting availability of key components.56

PC Partner's outlook suggests that without significant improvements in supply chain conditions, the situation for entry-level GPUs may worsen, further straining budgets for gamers and PC enthusiasts alike.

Key Insight
“The company's financial report shows average selling prices up 10.7% but unit sales down 18.4%, with other PC-related products declining 20.1%. Mini PCs are most impacted as lead times widen and component availability contracts.”
