More hefty GPU price hikes are rumored — and your only chance of a high-end Nvidia graphics card at MSRP is at QuakeCon
Want an RTX 5070, 5080 or 5090 at MSRP? Well, there's a chance you might get one — although it's vanishingly slim and highly location-dependent.
Rumors circulate that NVIDIA's GPUs, particularly those from MSI, are set for substantial price hikes, potentially reaching 20% or more. The price surges are attributed to the increased cost of memory components, which NVIDIA passes on to its partners. While this information pertains primarily to MSI products in China, the same trends are expected to affect other regions and NVIDIA's partners, including Gigabyte.
QuakeCon in Texas presents a limited opportunity to purchase RTX 5070, 5080, and 5090 Founders Edition graphics cards at their intended MSRP, with supplies expected to vanish quickly. Other high-end NVIDIA GPUs, such as the RTX 5000 series in South Korea, are also anticipated to experience similar price increases. The market seems to be facing a challenging period for affordable high-performance graphics cards, with QuakeCon offering the last chance for consumers to secure these sought-after components at their original prices.
