According to First Finance and retailers in Huaqiangbei on October 26, NVIDIA high-end consumer GPUs have experienced sharp price increases in China's market in recent weeks. RTX 5060 prices rose from approximately 3,000 yuan two weeks prior to around 4,000 yuan currently, while RTX 5070 climbed to 8,000-9,000 yuan with one retailer reporting a 1,000 yuan jump in a single week. RTX 5080 surged 6,000-7,000 yuan recently, and RTX 5090 exceeded 50,000 yuan. Price changes are now occurring daily.
Retailers attribute the price surge to increased AI data center demand diverting chip supply away from consumer GPU production, tightening component availability for consumer-grade cards.
