Nvidia RTX 50 GPUs hit with more price hikes – up to $500
Some GPUs will see bigger increases than others, while Intel and AMD remain mum on their pricing plans
Nvidia has announced further price hikes for its RTX 50 series of graphics cards due to the ongoing AI-driven global memory shortage. The company previously warned of a 15% increase in August, with the most expensive model, the 5090, now priced at nearly $6,000 after the hike. The lower-end models, 5050 and 5060, will see modest price increases of $50-60, exacerbating frustration among consumers.
While older RTX 40 and RTX 30 series cards will not be directly impacted, resellers may capitalize on the situation by adding their own price increases or selling stock on the second-hand market. Neither Intel nor AMD have announced price adjustments at this time, as they await any response from Nvidia. As both companies continue to secure resources for AI chip manufacturing and allocate GPUs and motherboards to data centers, it is expected that similar price hikes will follow.
