NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50-Series Scheduled for up to $500 Price Hike This Week

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 (AIC) partners have confirmed that price hikes are scheduled due to the ongoing demand for these GPUs outstripping supply. Some major AIC partners, like Colorful and Galax, have reportedly already started sharing information about these price increases. The most significant example is expected to be for SKUs based on NVIDIA's GeForce 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 GeForce 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 that 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.

  • 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 series from NVIDIA, as well as AMD and Intel GPUs, are not affected by this immediate price hike. However, AMD's Radeon graphics cards are expected to see another price increase this month. The main factors behind these price hikes are the tight memory supply and the significant rise in the cost of raw materials, such as copper, used in production.

dancYou do know that kurtezgart is funded by the very same tech-bros futurism fraternity….i like how they hid the short “warning” right past the mid point of the video

Nobody is disputing that “ai” is good at certain things, like fast binary parsing, how could they not be with the amount of compute thrown at it?

But like how techbros slyly choosing “agentic ai” to sound misleading to AGI, they are doing the daily dose of humanizing and warnings, the goal is to keep the fundings and throwing shit at the wall

There is no human traits in their models, there’s no hiding or secret societies shit with their agents. It’s simply the code got too big for humans to analyse
LLMs are trained on human data and designed to answer in human languages, which is the cause of the whole ELIZA effect. I didn't say that they have human traits; it's more that they can mimic us to some extent. That's a big distinction.

What you are saying also implies that the research taking place in universities is actively spreading lies about the technology. That we have a whole bunch of independent research papers telling lies, because, according to you, the whole concept of alignment doesn't exist. Like, even the CNRS in France, a state-owned research institute, is low-key working for OpenAI and Anthropic?

Seriously I think none of the 5000 series cards are worth gaming on. NVIDIA is money greed and are just trying to shake every penny out of the consumer at this point. Nobody needs a 5000 series gpu to game period. There is always a better less cost alternative that can pretty much give one an enjoyable gaming experience.

Now they are terrible buys, all of them. 8GB RTX 5060 for €500+.

In some stores the 5070 now cost as much as the 5080 did one year ago.

I am thankful I have my 5090.
I am thankful my cousin has 5090.
I am thankful my other cousin has her 5090.
Keep in mind: The American government under Trump is the cause of this.

Hecate91If it doesn't pop, the average person will be forced to bailout these AI companies losing money, while hardware will keep getting more expensive until everyone is forced to rent a PC in the cloud, or at least that is what the AI companies are counting on.
There would probably never be enough AI hardware, the AI hardware some are sitting on can't be powered up, and will be obsolete in a few years. AI companies will always want the fastest memory and all of the storage, despite memory fab expansion, the AI tech billionaires can keep stretching long term contracts while "shortages" continue for the average consumer.
Although I wonder where the same people are who laughed at AMD gpu prices going up, 50-60% over MSRP wasn't enough, Jensen needs the shiniest jackets from edge computing users.

These LLMs simply aren't doing things by themselves, it's a scare tactic from the AI scammers themselves trying to get more investor funding and IPO's.
But regardless of these things being asked or not, AI companies need to have consequences for illegal activity, not just going whoops it was all the LLM's fault, it would stop quickly if people like Scam Altman would actually face jail time for hacking another company.
Well said. Moving everyone from local to cloud and locking them in some kind of subscriptions has been the plan of these mega corps since a decade ago. AI and the artificial chip shortage they've created is simply their latest and most effective tool to achieve the goal.

Every time I read news about LLM doing malicious stuff on their own, I've always said to my friend this was another round of fundraising by these AI companies. They are releasing these kind of news to deliberately stir up competitions between rival companies/nations hoping to draw investments to themselves.

RedelZaVednoWe get it . It's a complete 💩 show. I really don't care anymore. I'm gonna ride my 5700X3D/4070TIS until it dies on me and stop following hardware news altogether. No newly released game since BG3 and Clair Obscur 33 gave me wow factor, I used to get anyway. I thought it was just me getting old but then I replayed Dishonored 1/2, Prey, Titanfall 2 old crysis, Hades and was wowed again. The problem is not me, it's today's gaming industry forgetting that games should be fun not never ending grind, skins achivement and loot boxes that make you feel more like working on a 2nd job then gaming.
This is where im at. Once my latest and greatest hardware dies, i will work back through my older generation hardware and play older games until that dies, etc, etc.
Ive already moved on to other hobbies.
Really the only games im looking forward to are the new Tomb Raider games and whatever Hogwarts Legacy sequels may come out in the future.

this, and this is directly the most profitable use case for AI. Accelerating analysis. In fact its simply a requirement given the size of current day datasets.

It goes wrong fast when that background analysis is then not converted into something useful by humans.

While yes, I think the AI push itself has little to do with that. There is another, much more worrying agenda and its in plain sight for everyone: the techbros are fighting a war over control of information. The pen is indeed mightier than the sword. Trump has shown us this. It does not matter what the actual story is; control the flow of information, and you can do almost anything.

Social media was the pilot project and simply put, just testing the waters and has indeed performed far above expectations: it has been capable of transforming our society. AI is the attempt to create a system for ALL information, not opinion, but FACT is now under control of the corpo asshats.

Why do you think Musk bought Twitter and soon after X became the vehicle to feed Grok? ;)

The agenda is crystal clear, dark as hell; and needs to be torched with literal fire to make it go away. A few subs isnt what will pay back the hundreds of billions spent. You need something much bigger and this is it.

Replay this game and witness the visionary mind of Hideo...

"the S3 Plan is in reality a method known as the Selection for Societal Sanity. The S3 Plan's real purpose is to control human thought in order to prevent society's regression in the digital era from trivial information drowning knowledge and truth, and the Big Shell incident was actually an exercise meant to stress test its effectiveness under extreme circumstances. "


And lets consider how a sequel or two later we were looking at PMCs under total (information) control fighting proxy wars for companies, and governments practically on the bench :) We have already arrived there with the soldiers being keyboard heroes on social media leading to IRL polarization. Theyre convinced they are fighting the good fight...
