One of the biggest German retailers finally has new stock of NVIDIA's RTX 50 GPUs, mainly the RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 Ti, but at higher prices.
The new Batch at Mindfactory shows NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 starting at $1399, Many Editions are Now Available for Somewhat Lower Prices Than Previously
It has been a while since the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs, particularly the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, have made it to the market in decent quantities. Almost all the big retailers have a few units of each model and many are taking pre-orders for the upcoming batch at much higher prices than MSRP. It's hard to find these GPUs unlike the Radeon RX 9070 series, which is still available in decent quantities in various parts of the world.
Finally, we saw a new stock of the RTX 50 series coming to one of the biggest German retailers, Mindfactory. Unfortunately, the latest stock still lacks the flagship GeForce RTX 5090 GPU, but thankfully, some RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 Ti cards have been added to the inventory.
At the time of writing, there are a few units of each model for both the RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 Ti. These are listed at somewhat better prices than before and, considering how bad the situation is, you will be lucky to get one of these. However, we still don't believe that paying another $200-$400 is something that we can encourage.
Nonetheless, for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080, there are about eight models: five from MSI, one from ZOTAC, and two from Palit. Most of these are OC editions and their prices start at €1,599 for the ZOTAC RTX 5080 Gaming AMP Extreme Infinity edition and MSI RTX 5080 Ventus 3X OC edition. The price translates to roughly US$1399 without 20% VAT, which is about $400 higher than the MSRP of the base models.
The prices go up to €1,639 (with VAT) or US$1484 without VAT, which is closer to the MSRP of the GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition. While it's hard to find the latter now, you can only have the RTX 5080 or the nearly non-existent RTX 5090.
Coming to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, there are about five editions currently listed on MF, starting for €1,029 for editions like Palit RTX 5070 Ti Gaming Pro OC, which translates to US$931 without VAT. This is quite high compared to the launch MSRP of $749 for the FE and base models. The prices for editions like the MSI RTX 5070 Ti Inspire 3X Plus OC go as high as €1,129 (with VAT) or US$1,022 without VAT, which is as expensive as the RTX 4080 Super.
These won't remain there forever, and you will need to wait for more days or probably weeks for the stock to come back.
