Ever since the RAM crisis kicked off in earnest in November 2025, pretty much every component in a gaming PC has grown more expensive. Now, less than a month after the RTX 5080 hit $2,000 here in the U.S., it’s reportedly going to get even more expensive in China. <\/p>\n
According to a post on ChannelGate, a Chinese tech insider board on WeChat, and spotted by Nvidia leaker Harukaze5719 on Twitter, MSI has increased GPU prices in China across the board, but the biggest increase is hitting the RTX 5080. Nvidia’s penultimate GPU is going going up from 1,300 to 8,000 Yuan, or $194 to $1,199. However, lower-specced GPUs will have much less of a price increase, with the RTX 5060 only going up between 200 to 500 Yuan, or $30 to $75. <\/p>\n
When Nvidia unveiled its Blackwell lineup of graphics cards, the RTX 5080 was already expensive, starting at $999, even though it was hard to find at that price for a while. But right when prices started to normalize, the RAM crisis happened, and prices have been steadily going up since February. <\/p>\n
