RTX 5080 16GB wholesale prices surge $280 in China on discontinuation rumors
The trend of rising prices is affecting all the models of RTX 50 in the region. The prices of some of the vendors like ASUS, Gigabyte have increased by 100-1200 CNY (179$) for different models. Even the RTX 5070 Ti prices have increased by 600 CNY (89.70$) due to the demand shift by the buyers.
The rising prices are not only due to market rumors but because of the supply chain issues. The manufacturers point out that the issues of memory and cost of GDDR7 chip are the main reason. Also the fact that the stock is getting depleted adds to the limitation on the availability and pushing the price of the wholesale up.
NVIDIA has officially denied the rumor that they are stopping the production of the RTX 5090. Also there is no news that they will stop producing the RTX 5080 16GB. So it is safe to say that the price hike is happening due to market sentiment and supply issues.
We have seen the similar fluctuations in the prices in other regions. The recent price hike in German region for RTX 5090. So it is advised to the consumers to wait for the vendors to make the official announcement on the availability of the models before buying with this high price tag.
