The Gamers Nexus team, which is no stranger to deep dives on PC hardware, decided to take a good, long look at the current graphics card market. The data they collected in a 20-minute video shows that high-end cards, particularly the RTX 5090 and 5080, and the RX 9070 XT, are consistently sold at 45 to 55 percent above the suggested retail price of the base model — the prices that Nvidia and AMD list.
Even allegedly mid-range cards like the RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti, and the RX 9070 get boosted by 20-27 percent. And that's assuming that you can find these cards at all, as stock tends to disappear immediately.
Nvidia's RTX 5090, the most powerful card available to consumers at the moment, is a prime example in the Gamers Nexus data. With an average price of just over $3,000 from listings of available for-sale cards accumulated across Amazon, Newegg, and Best Buy, it's selling at 53 percent
