GeForce RTX 50-series GPU prices spike as much as 39% as Blackwell price hikes hit the US — RTX 5070 gets a 36% hike, RTX 5060 up 27% at the median of Newegg listings
↗
US median prices for Nvidia’s RTX 50-series Blackwell GPUs have risen sharply, with some models up to 39% since June 2026.
The cost jump moves many mid-range cards well above their launch MSRPs, inflating hardware budgets for developers and AI teams. Procurement plans that relied on the previous price baseline must be revised or consider alternative GPUs. The uneven price impact also reshapes the performance-per-dollar landscape, potentially shifting workloads to higher-tier Nvidia parts or competing AMD models.

The RTX 5060 median price climbed 27% to $469.99, two MSRP steps above its $299.99 launch price.
The RTX 5060 Ti 16GB saw a 39% increase to $804.99, surpassing the launch price of higher-tier cards.
Mid-range Blackwell GPUs (RTX 5060, 5060 Ti, 5070) experienced the steepest hikes, while RTX 5050, 5070 Ti, and 5080 remained flat or rose only modestly.
