According to a recent Reddit post sharing updated retailer listing prices for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50-series GPUs from Japan, prices have risen: the cheapest available RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB was ¥118,800 (~$750 converted), RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB prices start at ¥139,800 (~$882 converted), the RTX 5070 12 GB starts at ¥145,800 (~$920 converted), RTX 5070 Ti prices start at ¥230,800 (~$1,456 converted), and the RTX 5080 16 GB has climbed to a starting price of ¥295,801 (~$1,867 converted).
