GeForce RTX 50-series GPU prices spike as much as 39% as Blackwell price hikes hit the US — RTX 5070 gets a 36% hike, RTX 5060 up 27% at the median of Newegg listings

After recent news of price hikes on RTX 50-series GPUs in other regions, those same increases now appear to have come Stateside, as Newegg prices for some Blackwell cards have spiked as much as 39% compared to June 2026.

GeForce RTX 50-series GPU prices spike as much as 39% as Blackwell price hikes hit the US — RTX 5070 gets a 36% hike, RTX 5060 up 27% at the median of Newegg listings

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards have seen significant price hikes in the United States, with some cards increasing in value by as much as 39%. At Newegg, a median price tracking service, the RTX 5060 is now $469.99, up from $369.99, a 27% increase. The RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, which cost $469.99 two months ago, is now $529.99, a 13% price hike.

The 5060 Ti 16GB card, which was already overpriced, is now $799.99, a 38% increase. The RTX 5070 has seen a 36% price increase, jumping from $659.99 to $899.99. The RTX 5080, typically a high-priced card, has not seen a significant price increase, remaining around the $1499.99 mark. These price hikes have hit the middle of the Blackwell lineup the hardest, with the RTX 5070 Ti maintaining the same median price since the last survey.

AMD Radeon cards have seen smaller price increases compared to Nvidia's Blackwell GPUs, but the silicon supply crunch may be affecting their availability. This surge in prices is a significant setback for the DIY PC market, which had been relatively unaffected by high RAM and NAND prices, as Nvidia's hardware and software stack becomes more expensive for consumers.
