88% above the launch MSRP is the current median price for the NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, which now reaches $805. Data from Newegg listings indicates the RTX 5070 has reached $900, while MSI, ASUS, and Gigabyte have all implemented significant upward adjustments to their hardware costs. Coverage from Tom's Hardware and TechPowerUp points to persistent DRAM shortages as a primary driver for these market shifts.
Wccftech and IGN note that Blackwell price hikes are now active in the United States, effectively moving current market prices significantly higher than the initial launch targets set by manufacturers. The current price instability is compounded by ongoing supply constraints for critical components. Whether these increases will stabilize or continue to escalate depends on the duration of the DRAM shortage and the ability of partners like MSI to manage production costs.
