NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50-Series Scheduled for a Price Hike This Week, Up to $500

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50-Series gaming GPUs are scheduled for price increases this week as demand exceeds supply. The most significant hikes affect flagship models, with the RTX 5090 and 5080 expected to rise by almost $500. Other adjustments include a $150 increase for the RTX 5070 Ti and a $30 climb for the RTX 5060 8GB. This pricing volatility follows reports of RTX 50 stock drying up, leading GPU makers to advise retailers to maintain inventories of older RTX 3060 and 3050 cards.
