The RTX50 series graphics cards have been out of stock and increased in price for a long time since they were launched. In fact, it is not that the graphics card manufacturers and dealers deliberately increase prices through hungry marketing, but that the profits are basically made by NVIDIA itself, and AIC manufacturers are also suffering.
At the same time, NVIDIA has long insisted on selling GPU chips and video memory particles to AIC manufacturers in packages, and the cost of GDDR7 video memory used for the first time is very high, which must be borne by the manufacturer, especially if it is sold at the original MSRP price, it makes almost no money.
Recently, Bilibili UP owner "51972" organized a large-scale RTX5080 Hengping. The test started a month ago. A total of 31 cards participated, but they were all hard-won. Some were bought at high prices, and some were borrowed from others.
The UP owner revealed that he learned during the communication process thatThe MSRP original price card is really difficult for factories to implement, because the material cost of GPU and memory alone accounts for up to 80% of the total, and the cost of better radiators and packaging costs tens or even close to 100 US dollars.
Therefore, AIC manufacturers only take the MSRP version of the model superficially. Some only sell a small amount, and some do not sell it at all. Most of them are sold as OC overclocking versions at a higher price. The so-called "price increase of 800 when the label is changed".
The recommended starting price of the RTX5080 is 8,299 yuan, but for a long time there was no such product on sale, and some were even sold from 18,000 yuan to 18,000 yuan.
At the same time, the RTX5090/5080 was indeed extremely out of stock during the first sales period, especially when the factory was on Spring Festival holiday, making the shortage unprecedentedly serious. At that time, it was expected that stable supply would not be until March.
