Nvidia RTX 50 price tracker: full lineup, MSRP vs. street
Seven RTX 50 models, one official MSRP list that has not changed since January 2025, and a street-price gap that widens the further up the lineup you go. This page tracks every model against its list price, and what the two 5060 Ti variants reveal about VRAM specifically.
Which RTX 50 card has the biggest markup over MSRP?
An RTX 5090 lists at $1999 MSRP but sold for about $4830 as of Jul 30, 2026, a +142% premium. An RTX 5060 at the bottom of the lineup, $299 MSRP, sold for about $339, only +13% over. Every Nvidia MSRP on this page is unchanged from its original 2025 launch; the entire gap is street-level pass-through of the three 2026 kit-price hikes plus ordinary scalping.

Full RTX 50 lineup against official MSRP. The gap narrows sharply toward the entry tier, and the two 5060 Ti variants (identical die, different VRAM) show the same pattern from the opposite direction.

Nvidia GPU prices: frequently asked questions
- Which RTX 50 card has the biggest markup over MSRP?
- The RTX 5090, at about +142% over its $1999 MSRP as of Jul 30, 2026. Markups shrink steadily down the lineup: the RTX 5060 at the bottom carries only about +13%. Enthusiast demand and the tightest supply both concentrate at the top of the stack.
- Why does the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB cost so much more than the 8GB version?
- Because the two cards are otherwise identical and the gap is almost entirely the extra VRAM. The 16GB card, at $429 MSRP, sold for about $589 (+37% over list), while the 8GB card at $379 MSRP sold for about $359, -5% against list. Doubling the VRAM is the single variable that flips the card from a discount to a premium.
- Has Nvidia changed official RTX 50 MSRPs in 2026?
- No. Every MSRP on this page (RTX 5090 through RTX 5060) is unchanged from its original 2025 launch price. What has moved three times in 2026 is the price Nvidia charges board partners for the GPU-and-memory kit, which shows up in street prices rather than the official list.
- Which RTX 50 card is the best value right now?
- By markup over MSRP, the entry tier: the RTX 5060 at about +13% over list and, oddly, the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, which was actually selling below its own MSRP as of Aug 2, 2026. Anyone shopping by markup rather than raw performance should start at the bottom of the lineup, not the middle.
Where this fits
This page is a spoke off the GPU price tracker, which carries the compounding kit-price hike cascade, the buy-or-wait verdict table, and the full method note. The sibling trackers are amd gpu prices and why vram costs so much.
For the analysis behind the numbers: why GPU prices keep rising in 2026 walks through the full kit-price mechanism, and the 2026 memory shortage explained covers the reallocation of wafer capacity that started it. The memory price tracker and its HBM tracker follow the same shortage one level upstream.
