This development highlights ongoing challenges in the GPU market, where demand continues to outpace supply.

The RTX 5080 lineup includes eight models: five from MSI, one from ZOTAC, and two from Palit. The most affordable options, the ZOTAC RTX 5080 Gaming AMP Extreme Infinity and MSI RTX 5080 Ventus 3X OC, start at 1,599 euros , which is approximately 400 dollars above the recommended price . Meanwhile, the highest-priced variant reaches 1,639 euros , further stretching affordability for potential buyers.
The RTX 5070 Ti is available in five models, with prices starting at 1,029 euros for the Palit RTX 5070 Ti Gaming Pro OC. This is considerably higher than the recommended price of 749 dollars . The most expensive version, the MSI RTX 5070 Ti Inspire 3X Plus OC, is priced at 1,129 euros , making it comparable in cost to the RTX 4080 Super.
Notably, the flagship RTX 5090 remains unavailable in stores, leaving enthusiasts waiting for its release. Despite the premium pricing of the new batch, sales remain strong, indicating sustained consumer interest in high-performance GPUs.
This pricing trend underscores the continued imbalance between supply and demand in the GPU market, with buyers facing inflated costs even as newer models become available. For now, gamers and creators will need to weigh the benefits of upgrading against the steep price tags attached to these latest offerings.
