Which GPUs are best sellers on Amazon?
- MSI Gaming RTX 5070 Ti 16G Ventus 3X
- Gigabyte Aorus GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Master 16G
- Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Eagle
The two top spots are taken up by different models of the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti. First is the MSI Gaming RTX 5070 Ti 16G Ventus 3X. Second is the Gigabyte Aorus GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Master 16G. Third is the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Eagle.
Despite stock now being available, the prices have not come down. The MSI RTX 5070 Ti is listed at $1,043, while its MSRP is $749, close to $300 less than the listed Amazon price. The situation is even worse with the Gigabyte Aorus RTX 5070 Ti, which is currently priced at $1,399.99, a massive increase of $650 versus MSRP. For reference, here’s how Nvidia says the 50 series pricing should look:
- RTX 5090: $1,999
- RTX 5080: $999
- RTX 5070 Ti: $749
- RTX 5070: $549
- GPU: GB205-300
- CUDA Cores: 6,144
- VRAM: 12GB GDDR7
- Memory bus width: 192-bit
- Base/Boost clock speed: 2,330/2,610MHz
- TBP: 250W
Customers are looking for budget options
The most curious part of the list is the ASRock AMD Radeon RX 6600 Challenger White, which is hanging on in sixth place, just behind the MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 3060. These two options are vastly cheaper than the RTX 50 series offerings, so perhaps customers are seeking out budget options.
Users on Twitter/X expressed their dissatisfaction with the pricing situation after TechEpiphany posted a screenshot of the top ten GPUs on Amazon. “OOof but look at those prices. Goddamn.” said user BoringBattlecry. User GloriusKev was even more direct: “At this point, I am happy for the Nvidia buyers. If they’re choosing to pay $600 more for similar performance then let them continue to whale it up.”
It is becoming increasingly clear that pricing and supply are becoming a huge issue for consumers during this generation of graphics cards. Unfortunately, a solution does not seem to be forthcoming.
