Nvidia’s Price Increases Are Live, as RTX 5060 Ti Jumps to Over $800
Nvidia’s graphics card price increases have arrived, with significant markups across the RTX 50-series lineup. The RTX 5060 Ti, positioned as a mid-range card, now carries a retail price exceeding $800, surpassing even the official MSRP of the higher-end RTX 5070 Ti. According to retailer data compiled by Tom’s Hardware, the price spikes are substantial: the RTX 5070 experienced a 36 percent increase, while the RTX 5060 saw a median price hike of 27 percent across major retailers like Newegg. Some cards have seen increases as high as 39 percent. The price escalation affects consumers looking to upgrade their gaming rigs, as the artificially inflated GPU pricing makes high-performance graphics cards increasingly inaccessible at their traditional market positioning. This represents a continuation of pricing pressures in the PC gaming hardware market, where graphics card costs have remained contentious among enthusiasts and budget-conscious gamers alike.
