Compared to Nvidia's MSRP, the RTX 5090 is selling for $300 to $1,400 over asking price, while the RTX 5080 is around $140 to $500 higher at MSI and Asus stores. Currently, all of these GPUs are out of stock

MSI and Asus have raised the prices of Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 gaming GPUs by hundreds of dollars, just a week after the launch.

Asus has one model available at list price, the Prime RTX 5080, at $1,000, but it’s currently on sale despite being out of stock. The official price is $1,265. For the RTX 5090, Asus is offering it at $2,750, with its flagship liquid-cooled ROG Astral model clocking in at $3,410.

Newegg is blaming President Trump's tariffs on Chinese imports for price hikes on Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 graphics cards. On Wednesday, customers noticed sudden price increases on the coveted GPUs across Newegg’s site.

It looks like the upcoming Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 graphics cards could prove to be even better value for money than initially thought, as a new rumor suggests that the mid-range graphics cards won’t require Nvidia’s 12VHPWR connector (which the powerful RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 use).

NVIDIA’s RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs come at a high cost on top of being difficult to acquire due to low stock, and it seems tariffs are to blame for the increased cost. That’s according to Newegg, one of the largest online retailers in the US for computers and computer hardware.

I apologize to anyone who happens to be walking by my house at the moment, especially if you have children present. The blue streak of cursing emanating from my office window is not meant for delicate ears.
