- Nvidia GPUs have seen another price hike of up to 30%, which Eurogamer frames as part of a worsening "generative AI hardware crisis"
- Best Buy and Amazon have raised US prices on Nvidia's fastest cards, with the Astral RTX 5080 now exceeding the RTX 5090's MSRP and the flagship commanding more than $4,300
Why it matters: Enthusiast buyers are already paying flagship-tier money for what was previously a mid-tier card (RTX 5080 > RTX 5090 MSRP), and a 30% hike on top of that baseline signals supply pressure is now flowing directly into consumer pricing rather than just wholesale channels.
