RTX 50-Series Price Adjustments Reach Chinese Channel Partners
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50-series gaming graphics cards face upcoming price hikes due to surging demand and supply issues, Chinese ChannelGate reported. Chinese channel partner ChannelGate confirmed that add-in card partners scheduled these retail adjustments for implementation this week. Consumer market prices will likely reflect these new listing rates within one to two weeks. Major board partners Colorful and Galax have already begun distributing the updated pricing schedules to regional distributors.
RTX 5090 DV2 Leads Hardware Cost Increases
Flagship SKUs built around NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5090 DV2 absorb the steepest adjustments across the lineup. These high-end units will see price increases reaching up to 3,300 RMB, translating to nearly $500. Tight memory supply chains and spiking costs for raw production materials like copper drive these hardware adjustments. Other GPU families from AMD and Intel remain untouched by this specific wave, though competing Radeon hardware faces separate price bumps this month, according to TechPowerUp.
Hardware Price Adjustment Breakdown
| Graphics Card SKU | Price Increase (RMB) | Price Increase (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| RTX 5090 DV2 | 2200–3300 RMB | $329–$494 |
| RTX 5080 | 2500–2800 RMB | $374–$419 |
| RTX 5070 Ti | 1000 RMB | $150 |
