The RTX 5080's US daily median went from $1,659 on October 6 to $2,225 on October 25, against a $999 MSRP. Recent days rest on one or two captures, and the 90-day median is still $1,600.

The cheapest in-stock Radeon RX 9070 XT at US shops is $870, up from a $720 daily median on August 19. Newegg lists it at $900 and Amazon at $940, against a $599 launch MSRP.

Eight of the 28 US GPU prices with a seven-day figure moved exactly nothing this week, after a month that ran as high as 39 percent. Europe's medians eased, the CPU discount narrowed, and $60 now separates a 64GB DDR5 kit from an RTX 5070 Ti.

Two months after the RTX 3060 12GB came back, it lists above a faster RTX 5050. NVIDIA’s $279 billion in purchase commitments explains where the memory went.

Our tracked US retail medians put all eight RTX 50 cards above launch MSRP, CPUs below it, and a 64GB DDR5 kit above the price of an RTX 5070 Ti.
