According to hardware outlet ChannelGate, the wholesale spot prices of several RTX 50-series graphics cards are on the rise once again in China, which is an ominous indicator for consumer pricing worldwide.
The 16 GB RTX 5080 is said to have increased by around 2000 CNY, which equates to around $300, while the RTX 5070 Ti has seen an increase of around 600 CNY ($90). In the RTX 5080's case, that puts the current wholesale spot price at around 14,500-15,000 yuan, which equates to a truly stunning $2,171-$2,246 range when converted to US dollars.
