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

What happened

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 ongoing demand for these GPUs outstripping supply; major AIC partners such as Colorful and Galax have reportedly already started sharing information about these 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 consumer prices might take a week or two to reflect the new listing prices.
