Prices for Nvidia’s latest GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards have returned to their official launch levels, signaling a broad recovery in supply roughly six months after the line debuted. Retail listings this week show multiple high-end models from Asus selling at the manufacturers’ suggested retail price after months of premiums on the secondary market. Amazon is advertising the Asus Prime GeForce RTX 5080 16GB for $999.99, the card’s original MSRP, available exclusively to Amazon Prime members. Meanwhile, Best Buy has listed the Asus TUF Gaming RTX 5090 at its $1,999 launch price— the first major North American retailer to offer the flagship model at that cost after typical street prices of $2,300-plus. The return to MSRP follows gradual price declines across the RTX 50 family, which analysts attribute to improved wafer supply, higher production yields and cooling post-launch demand. The normalization could boost PC builders heading into the holiday sales period and ease pressure on enthusiast gamers who had delayed upgrades amid earlier mark-ups.
