MSI Raising Graphics Cards Prices Again in China, According to Leak

MSI has reportedly raised graphics card prices in China, with the largest increase affecting Nvidia’s RTX 5080. The reported changes come amid a wider rise in PC component costs and could add to concerns about GPU affordability, though the leak covers China only.

A post on the Chinese tech insider board ChannelGate says the RTX 5080 price will rise from 1,300 to 8,000 yuan, while the RTX 5060 will increase by 200 to 500 yuan. The article notes that the RTX 5080 currently starts at about $2,199 on Newegg and Nvidia has temporarily removed it from its store because of shortages. RAM supply is also expected to tighten in 2027, but any effect of MSI’s China price changes on US prices remains uncertain.
