- Asus has introduced another price increase for Nvidia and AMD gpus
- The ROG Astral RTX 5090 OC edition is $ 1,360,99 more than MSRP
- Radeon RX 9070 XT now costs $ 719.99, $ 120.99 more than its retail price
It is no secret that the GPUs of the RTX 5000 series of NVIDIA and the GPUs of the RADEON RDX 9070 series of NVIDIA have not had the best launch, with several problems ranging from the climel, the low availability, the lack of Rops (in the NVIDIA GPUs) and the increases in obscene prices for the cards of partners of the Board, and it seems that the last one seems to be worse.
As reported by Videocardz, Asus has increased the prices of its RTX 5090 models, in particular its ROG Astral OC edition, which is now sold for the amazing amount of $ 3,359.99. This is $ 1,360,99 more than the RTX 5090 MSRP, and while this is A factory superimposed GPU (which is generally expected to be more expensive), is another indication of severe GPU prices.
The same applies to ASUS TUF RTX 5090 standard: it is sold to $ 2,759,99, $ 760 more than $ 1,999 msrp. Taking into account that the TUF brand is supposed to be the most economical hardware of ASUS, it is a bit annoying. Anyway, consumers will have to dig deeply to obtain these Premium GPUs, and since Nvidia founding editing cards are difficult to achieve, consumers currently depend on third -party options.
It is not just the NVIDIA RTX 5000 series either, since Asus has implemented similar measures for the price of the GPUs of the Rx 9070 AMD series. If you are willing to buy the TUF RADEON RX 9070 XT OC edition, you must cough $ 719.99, that is an increase in prices of $ 120.99 that possibly destroys the main point of sale of the GPU. It may be worse for those looking for the RDNA 4 experience about what Nvidia has to offer, since AMD does not offer a first -part reference card for any of the RX 9070 models.
So, if it was no longer clear, the GPU market faces a significant inflation problem: Asus has highlighted everything, once again.
As I said before, this is the worst GPU market I’ve seen …
This is just another example of why the GPU market needs a great need for an important change. Thanks to a combination of high demand, peppers and, in general, of low availability, consumers must succumb to ridiculous sales prices and pay more than the GPUs are worth, or wait a lot, a long time for prices to collapse.
Based on the current retail price and after -sales of the GPU RTX 4000 series RTX 4000 NVIDIA, I bet there will be small or no price change for the GPUs of the RTX 5000 series (especially for RTX 5090 and RTX 5080) during the next year. If you are trying to buy an RTX 4000 GPU at this time, you are probable that you are still paying more than MSRP.
Thinking about a GPU of the RTX 3000 series or Rx 7000 Rx 7000 of AMD? While it is possible that you have luck at the Radeon end, you will probably not find many options for any of the lineups, at least not for new cards in box that have not potentially served in cryptographic mines. In any way that cuts it, this type of incredible price cluster is not what PC users want nor is it acceptable in any way, yet If there is a low or not stock, and now I just hope I don’t get worse.
