Prepare yourself for a potential price hike on the highly anticipated RTX 5090 GPU in the upcoming year. This news may not come as a shock, considering the recent surge in RAM prices. With RAM becoming scarcer, it is only logical that products containing RAM, like GPUs, will also see an increase in cost. This scarcity will result in a decreased supply of GPUs on the market, ultimately driving up prices for consumers.
For those in the market for a new gaming PC or looking to upgrade their current setup, this news may be disheartening. The NVIDIA RTX 5090 was already a pricey GPU, with the Founders Edition quoted at $1,999 by NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang. Partner GPUs are even more expensive, with some models exceeding $3,500.
NVIDIA may be considering a price increase for the RTX 5090, potentially exceeding $5,000
While the exact price increase has not been confirmed, a recent report from Wccftech suggests that NVIDIA is contemplating raising the price of the RTX 5090 GPU to over $5,000. This significant increase would be 2.5 times the original $1,999 price tag for a Founders Edition card, potentially pricing out PC gamers seeking the most powerful GPU on the market.
If the RTX 5090 sees a price hike, it is likely that other GPUs will follow suit. NVIDIA is also rumored to be reducing production of the RTX 5060 Ti and the RTX 5070 Ti in 2026, leading to a decrease in available stock for these cards as well.
Not to be outdone, AMD is reportedly planning to raise prices for its GPUs as well. AMD is expected to implement gradual price increases starting in January, while NVIDIA is set to follow suit in February. These price adjustments are anticipated to continue throughout the year.
Stay informed on these potential price changes for the RTX 5090 and other GPUs to make informed decisions for your gaming setup. The landscape of GPU pricing is evolving, and consumers should be prepared for potential adjustments in the market. Keep an eye on updates from NVIDIA and AMD as they navigate these changes.
