NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 50-Series "Blackwell" gaming graphics cards are expected to see significant price adjustments this week. According to Chinese ChannelGate, add-in card partners have confirmed price hikes are scheduled due to demand outstripping supply. Major partners like Colorful and Galax have already begun sharing information about these increases.
The most significant example is for SKUs based on the RTX 5090 DV2, which will see an increase of up to 3,300 RMB, translating to nearly $500. Even entry-level GPUs are not exempt, as the RTX 5060 is expected to see around a $30 price increase on existing models. These changes are anticipated to be implemented this week for retail partners, meaning consumer prices might take a week or two to reflect the new listing prices.
Below is the list of price hikes in China, expected to be the norm everywhere: RTX 5090 DV2: 2200-3300 RMB ($329-$494); RTX 5080: 2500-2800 RMB ($374-$419); RTX 5070 Ti: 1000 RMB ($150); RTX 5070: 600-900 RMB ($90-$135); RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB: 250-400 RMB ($37-$60); RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB: 100-150 RMB ($15-$22); RTX 5060: 150-200 RMB ($22-$30). Other NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel GPUs are not affected by this immediate hike, though AMD's Radeon cards are expected to see another price increase this month. The main factors are tight memory supply and the significant rise in the cost of raw materials, such as copper.
