Get ready to pay $1360 more for the RTX 5090 – Asus just raised prices yet again, and AMD’s RX 9070 XT is also affected



  • Asus has introduced yet another price hike for Nvidia and AMD GPUs
  • The ROG Astral RTX 5090 OC Edition is $1,360.99 more than MSRP
  • The Radeon RX 9070 XT now costs $719.99, $120.99 more than its retail price

It’s no secret that Nvidia’s RTX 5000 series GPUs and AMD‘s Radeon RX 9070 series GPUs haven’t had the best launch, with several issues ranging from scalping, low availability, missing ROPs (on Nvidia’s GPUs), and obscene price hikes for board partner cards – and it appears as though the latter is getting worse.

As reported by VideoCardz, Asus has increased the prices of its RTX 5090 models, notably its ROG Astral OC Edition, which now retails for a staggering $3,359.99. This is $1,360.99 more than the RTX 5090’s MSRP – and while this is a factory-overclocked GPU (which is typically expected to be more costly), it’s yet another indication of severe GPU price inflation.
