Prices for Nvidia’s RTX 5000 Cards Drop More As Retailers Offer Discounts
Good news for anyone speccing out a new PC: prices on several Nvidia GeForce RTX 5000-series GPUs have fallen again, and a few retailers are now undercutting the typical starting prices. The RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 Ti are seeing the most notable movement, while AMD’s Radeon RX 9070 XT is also trending lower compared to last month.
What’s getting cheaper—and by how much
Based on our ongoing price checks and historical data from PCPartPicker, street prices on select RTX 5080 SKUs have dipped by roughly $40 to $80 versus their recent norms. That aligns with what we’re seeing at major online stores including Amazon, Best Buy, Newegg, and B&H Photo, where more cards are actually in stock at sane prices.
Walmart has kicked off a GeForce-focused promotion running through the weekend, with one of the standout offers being a PNY GeForce RTX 5080 at $929—below the usual $999 starting price. Nvidia’s own online store is also carrying the Founders Edition RTX 5080 at $999, and unlike the early weeks post-launch, availability has been steadier rather than instantly selling out.
The RTX 5070 Ti has similarly settled at or near its baseline. You can find PNY’s RTX 5070 Ti at Walmart and Best Buy for $749, and Amazon lists a Gigabyte model at the same price (though shipping may take longer). If you want to drop down a tier, Walmart is offering the RTX 5070 from MSI or PNY for $499, undercutting the typical $549 starting point.
Micro Center’s in-store-only deals
If you’re within driving distance of a Micro Center, the retailer is offering additional in-store discounts expected to run through Monday. Highlights include:
- Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5080 WINDFORCE SFF for $899 (down from $1,299)
- PNY GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Triple Fan for $729.99 (down from $749)
- MSI GeForce RTX 5070 SHADOW 2X for $479 (down from $749)
- MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Ventus 2X Plus for $369 (down from $514)
As always, in-store availability can vary by location, and these promos are typically limited to one per customer.
AMD’s RX 9070 XT is cheaper, but not quite at launch pricing
On the AMD side, the Radeon RX 9070 XT has also seen a modest price retreat versus last month. However, we still aren’t seeing it drop back to its original $599 starting price. The lowest recent offer we tracked was $669 at Newegg.
The elephant in the room: possible “Super” refreshes
Better availability and creeping discounts have prompted speculation that Nvidia could be clearing the channel in advance of rumored “Super” versions of RTX 5000-series cards. While nothing is confirmed, chatter points to a potential reveal later this year or slipping into early Q1. If you’re the type who prefers the latest refresh or wants to see where prices land after new announcements, it may be worth waiting a few weeks. For everyone else, the current deals are already the best we’ve seen in a while.
RTX 5090 remains ultra-premium
At the top of the stack, the RTX 5090 still commands rarefied pricing—typically well north of $2,000. Month over month, most models have stayed flat or nudged upward. If you need a halo-tier GPU today, don’t expect relief in the short term.
Buying advice: how to get the best value right now
- Shop the weekend: Walmart’s promotion is scheduled to end soon, and Micro Center’s in-store deals are slated through Monday.
- Set price alerts: Use PCPartPicker or retailer alerts for rapid drops that may not stick around.
- Check shipping times: Some of the lowest Amazon prices ship later—confirm delivery windows if you’re on a tight build schedule.
- Verify return policies: Open-box and promo stock can have different return terms; read the fine print before you buy.
- Consider alternatives: If you’re gaming at 1440p, the RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti now offer strong value. For 4K with ray tracing, the RTX 5080 deals are particularly compelling.
- Watch for bundles: Games or software add-ins can sweeten a deal, especially when price gaps are small.
How we track prices
We monitor US pricing using PCPartPicker’s historical tracking and frequent spot checks at Amazon, Best Buy, Newegg, B&H Photo, and major brick-and-mortar stores like Micro Center. Availability and pricing can vary by region and change quickly; all figures above reflect what we observed at the time of writing.
Bottom line: The GPU market continues to normalize, with the RTX 5080 and RTX 5070-series cards seeing real, accessible discounts across multiple retailers. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to pull the trigger on a mid-to-high-end build, this weekend is one of the best windows we’ve seen in months.
