NVIDIA’s RTX 5060 Ti 16GB Median Price Surges To $805, Now 88% Above Its Launch MSRP

As of August 11, 2026, NVIDIA RTX 50-series graphics card prices have increased by as much as 41% across various models. The RTX 5060 Ti 16GB is now priced at a median of $805, representing an 88% increase over its launch MSRP. Other models have also experienced upward shifts, with the RTX 5070 reaching $900 following a 36% hike.

Across the broader market, median price increases for the 50-series have ranged between 27% and 41%. Hardware manufacturers MSI, ASUS, and Gigabyte have implemented these price hikes, citing persistent DRAM shortages as a contributing factor to the adjustments. Wccftech, PCMag, Tom's Hardware, IGN, and TechPowerUp have tracked these shifts, noting that listings on platforms like Newegg reflect these significant premiums over established MSRP levels.

While hardware manufacturers have pointed to DRAM constraints as the driver for these market adjustments, coverage does not yet specify how long these supply shortages will persist or if further retail pricing tiers will be adjusted in the coming weeks. Consumers currently face these elevated costs across multiple major board partners.
